[QUOTE="Mach1USMC, post: 5272814, member: 42788"] There have been so many threads lately comparing Machs to S197's, 99-01 Cobras, LSx's, even Terminators- but I suppose that's the name of the game. I guess it's all in what you like. But from what I've seen- and experienced, all given equal drivers, stock or equal mods- the pecking order goes something like this: GT500KR>GT500>Terminator>Mach1>99-01 Cobra>S197 GT>Bullit>99-04 GT. With the exception of the 99-04 GT all the NA's are very close- and depending on tranny some of the cars can be flip-flopped. That being said ANYTHING can and does happen on the street. You miss a gear, have a bad tune, start off in the wrong gear wave goodbye to your competition because they just smoked you.....the list of "excuses" is endless. And since you've owned a few stangs you know very well a lot of noobs jump in a Mustang GT for the first time and they just [I][U]know[/U][/I] their car is the fastest thing out there- not having ever researched the car and not knowing that there are in fact faster Mustangs out there. And for the record I know my car isn't nearly the fastest thing out there. I don't race a lot but my 2 losses in the Mach was to an SC S197 and a HUGE turboed VW 331. Then again I've pulled on several S197's as well. But hey- win some, lose some right? It's all good:beer: [/QUOTE]
