Default First passes in the Mach

Picked up another 04 Mach a few months again and just now got around to running it. No mods other than an X-pipe. Stock gearing, stock mufflers, etc. Its a 5-spd with 78k miles. Full weight, half tank. Track temps were about 50 degrees and the prep sucks as usual. So being on street tires made it extra tough. Leaving off idle it ran two 13.5s at 105 mph and a 13.6 at 106 mph. I'm happy with it cause this means there's a lot left on the table. Gears and drag radials should run 12s no problem.

Wow stone629... you rapidly you switch vehicles always amazes me (Although I think you've been good for awhile)... I have to imagine you get good deals and sell for a profit to be flipping cars like this though

Just slicing that sixty down will put you near 13 flat.

I make out ok on the "toys". Long as you're not trading in on the cars you don't plan on keeping long, you can make it happen.. Rarely is there a profit though.... Not on cars that get modded anyway. I picked this Mach up pretty cheap. It's not in mint condition or anything like that. It sits in the garage 99% of the time.

I think so too. Couldn't do it today though, just too cold. Weather was good for making power though. Just gotta bite the bullet and buy some traction

It's tuff this time of year on street tires. You can only heat them up so much. Also the track prep is about half as good as usual. The track figures only about a third of people show up in November as do in August.

13 seconds seems pretty respectable for a stock 04 Mach in cold weather.
