[QUOTE="TR03Mach1, post: 1737199, member: 7067"] You're probably right about that. I've also been giving some thought to the tranny/rear situation in the 05 vs Mach 1. I know that I can go through the traps in third gear, pushing the 4valve pretty close to the redline, about 6700rpms, which is still within it's powerband. But if the 05 is running the same 3650 trans and 3:55 rear, with a redline about 6000 on the 3valve, in conjunction with the goofy computer/throttle thing going on, that car has to be shifted into 4th well before the top end of the track and losing a considerable amount of revs doing it. It appears that the 05, with the exception of the incredible launch it gets, is at a disadvantage on the dragstrip in its stock configuration! It would also point to the computer reflash/chip being one of the most important mods to be made to the 05 Mustang, everything else should be secondary to that. [/QUOTE]
