No, not changing rules. But honestly, if you have a 2500lb Mach against a full weight GT500.. SURE, you should be able to win with alot less horsepower. :bash:

:rolling:

the 2500 is an exaggeration but you see what I mean.

Edit: Also, 1/4 isnt everything :) It IS hard to get all this weight moving in these cars without bogging or breaking tires loose. Highway is a different story... very fun.

When you say "a bolt on Mach 1 can't outrun/run with a stock GT500" then thats a general statement and all gloves are off. As long as no nitrous, boost, or valve covers come off anything goes with the Mach vs the obviously stock GT500. <<<that's my idea/opinion anyways

Ok, so then I will get a body in white GT500 chassis and tub it out. :) Same rules right? :rolling:

Definitely believable. A lot of variables, anything can happen.

FWIW, my N/A '98 Cobra made 345rwhp.

My friend traded his 2008 GT500 (11.30's@124 - Pulley/Tune/suspension) in on a 2011 GT500....and we raced 5-6 times one night right after he got it, anywhere from 15mph rolls to 55mph rolls....and I yanked him by 3-4+ cars each race. He had a passenger and I did not, but take that for what you will.

You forgot this one:

GT500 VS Mach 1 - YouTube


:dancenana: Videos are fun but we all know anything can happen on da' Skreets.

Here is a good one with some racing.. love these kind of videos. Would be nice to get all the local SVTP members together and make our own race night video. :rockon:

11 GT500 vs Ported 04 Cobra vs 10 Camaro, Eaton Mach vs H/C 01 SS & N20 5.0 vs RB25 240 etc - YouTube

Doh, what the hell.. didnt link right.. someone school meh. :(

BTW your car is beautiful. I'd like to meet up sometime and check it out. I don't really care to run you because I know it would be very ugly (maybe from a dig with me getting the hit lol). But I would like a ride in it!

hell yeah, Ill put the video together. As you can see from my you tube, I like having fun on and off the track

Cool deal. I need to start throwing more vids on my youtube channel too. I wish Gopro would design a camera that can shoot both forwards and backwards in one unit. Would be sweet...otherwise I will have to just get two and face the front/back.. for the ones I win and the ones I lose.

Well I have mine so we can get one on each car or swap in between races. I might just pick up another one since I also would like different angles of the same race.

Well when you get back stateside, let's gather the locals up and pick a central area to maybe have a dinner/race night. We will of course have to be teleported to mexico for each race.... :coolman:

Hell yeah. I love going down south. Most of my Mexico runs have started in the sun shine state so I'd love to see what starts up in SC/NC!

I just wish I knew the streets better to keep the fuzz away
