[QUOTE="Fenixfire, post: 10460930, member: 37891"] What do you trap? The lowest drag coefficient I can find for a mark VIII is .33 and a mach is .36. Thats not gonna be 20% less drag. Stock lincoln Mark VIIIs run mid to high 14s at 98 mph. They dont even break 100. A stock M5 Mach 1 runs 13.1 @ 105-107 mph. Even from a roll you wont put lengths on a mach 1 with that big of a disadvantage without some SERIOUS mods. As an example I raced a C6 Z06, which has a much better drag coefficient than I do, from about a 50 roll to 120 mph. I had roughly two cars (maybe alittle less, was hard to tell, but definitely 1.5 at least) on him by 120 and I estimate I probly had about 50 rwhp advantage in order to make up his weight advantage and aero advantage. You have less of a drag advantage than the vette did vs me and stock for stock have a solid 30-40 rwhp disadvantage against a mach. I guess its possible for your outcome to occur if you have several mods and you are racing against a bone stock auto mach. Otherwise, the numbers dont add up. [/QUOTE]
