who would win?

What's the point in asking a question like this? Armchair racing is all talk. Why don't you put your money where your pie hole is and just run. If you win, post in the Kills section. If you don't, then you know who your daddy is.

if you don't know when to shift without the tach... i will pretty much guarantee the Mach 1 will win.

you should be able to feel when the car stops producing power at higher RPMs.

If you have a manual FD with 4.10 gears in the diff first gear is ~38, 2nd ~64, 3rd ~98, 4th ~120 (based off 7000 rpm redline). Those numbers are off the top of my head. You can search the web and find the transmission gear ratios, you know your tire size and rear diff ratio. With that information search for a rpm/speed calculator and you'll be able to see your rpms at any speed in any gear.

roll, i guess from 40 or so to 130....

as for feeling when the engine stops making power, i use to be able to tell but with the port, it just keeps pulling......

no im not racing for money...... its just for fun. then when i get the single, i will race his brother with the 490rwhp 03 cobra
