Owned by a Mach 1

So I was cruising down central ave, a big 3 lane road with stores and **** for about 3 miles, and i line up with a mach 1 at a light. At first he doesn't even look over, but I could tell he was going to hit it, so I gave a little rev at him. He gave one back, and when he let off I could see his car change stance. Light turns green and we both hit it. He spun through first. I launched at 3k rpms, didn't bog due to bald tires, got traction by around 4500 rpm, and before shifting to second he had two cars. After I redlined second, he had five. Shifted to third and the gap kept getting bigger, then we got stuck at a light. We bullshitted for a minute, he asked if I was turbo, I told him no. Also said that if I was turbo the race might have been a little bit closer, lol. We did it a few more times, then he got onto an on ramp for a highway. For those around here he got onto the sprain at the end of rt 100, before the on ramp to 87/ the ramps to the cross county. He gave the thumbs up, so I threw back with a few beeps and a thumbs up of my own.

It was real clean, he had a little carbon fiber hood scoop. I'm not sure about intake/exhaust, it did sound pretty good though, but I don't know much about them. Maybe they come from the factory like that.

Overall good race though, nice guy. My mods in sig.

Be safe.

James

The black scoop is metal and it is factory. It was most likely stock. Really low 13s from the factory. Most mach 1 and cobra guys are cool compared to the GT owners. They also sound great from the factory due to their 4v DOHC V8.

Thats the problem with most people with fancy cars from the factory.

There is a definite difference between someone who spends time making their car fast, and someone who just goes out and buys a fast car.
