Thats like saying on avg a 300C vs 300C SRT-8 is a drivers race in the 1/4 mile :shrug:
Give it a minute, someone will say that.......

Every source I've read indicates that a stock mach 1 is rated at 13.8 in the quarter. Thats great that you know joe bob that dyno'd more power but the official rating from ford is 305.
Official numbers don't lie. I dont know how else to explain it really. The bullitt is rated at about 14 in the quarter but some have gotten 13.9 while the mach is rated at 13.8. I know it must be a hard pill to swallow knowing that a 2v bullitt is only marginally slower than a stock mach but I cant make this stuff up. Thats great that you know somebody who knows somebody that dyno'd more hp or got a 13 flat but that's simply the exception not the rule. Some say the bullitt actualy has more than 265hp but the official numbers say 265.
The mach 1 and the 2v have a lot of potential, when you start introducing forced induction. Hell even the blocks are pretty stout and can handle much more horsepower than an old school factory pushrod 302 block. Only point I was making was that in stock form they are pathetic and extremely expensive to build. A 2v from modular head shop will cost you a minimum of $5k, and that doesn't really include any radical upgrades to the heads and cams. In the pushrod world, $5k could go a very long way, much further than the modulars. The 4.6 is a good reliable and bullet proof engine. It's just over engineered and not very good from a performance standpoint in stock form. You can only go so far with bolt ons for a 4v 4.6 before you need to start buying overpriced heads and $1000 worth of cams. I would love to drop a built 4v in my bullitt but the cost alone makes me want to puke. I'd rather build a 408 stroker for my 94 gt.
I think the best time for a mach is 13 flat. And everyone knows the mach is underated dyno numbers prove that
You cant argue official numbers. You can justify yourself an extra 25hp and half a second in the 1/4 any which way you want but none it really matters.
Just so you know that's the auto mach. If you refer back to page 3 you can see where I post numerous links that show low 13s. Mine personally put down 281 and 305 with just a catback.
Yes the auto mach 1 is slow, just like the auto GT right rattlesnake? lol!

Lol idk if you are being sarcastic or not but it is fair to say that the auto Mach is slightly slower than the 5spd.... Man those numbers that yours put down are crazy, it must be a factory freak.
He was referring to my my gt and it wasnt slow at all

When I had my Mach it went 12.90@109 stone stock on the factory goodyears. Exhaust,430's and 555r's it wsj a 12.50's all day everyday.
Oh lord, here we go.......
