Took the Mach to the Track and Broke her Cherry

Timm10221 · February 26th, 2011, 08:40 PM

Yup, I took her out today, I was running my 5.0's tires which are 275/60/15's MT et's. I found out (This cars a 5-speed) that a line lock would be nice lol. I didn't think of this until I left to do the burn outs in 2nd, cause when I was in 1st it just didn't seem to cut it but anyways

I cut a 13.1 @104.something and a 1.83 60 foot launching at 2-2500... I tried to launch higher but the track wouldn't hold it. These runs were on a full tank of gas too

.. I didn't even think about that last night when I filled up.. And I have subs and amp haha. I am happy with that time, There was another Mach running the same times as me with more done to his car.

My Mod's are:
UPR Upper and Lowers
Sportline Springs
FRPP 4.10's
o/r X-pipe
SLP LM Cat-back
JLT CAI
SCT tune from BAMA
Short throw
And the 5.0's tires

He had 4.30's, 31 spline axles and new diff, SLP LT headers and everything I have and was cutting the same times, So I am good with mine

Oh yeah it was a cool day and kinda damp, there was still water in a lot of the pit area from last nights rain.

Good times for your first time out in the car. Get that RPM up on the launch and you'll be in the 12s.

I know, I can tell that 4K or so is where she would be very happy, but the track wouldn't hold that yesterday :/ It weird but the mach seems to be as fast, if not a little faster, then my 5.0 H/C/I swapped car lol.

Boo Snow!!!

good run, I wish my 60' times where CLOSE to 1.8 haha, stuck in 2.3 world

AzureMach1 · February 27th, 2011, 12:31 PM

Not bad. My best before the eaton was 13.26/104.43 with a 2.00 60'. That was street tires and a K&N CAI.

Good numbers. Get yourself some sticky tires!

majorownage · February 27th, 2011, 08:19 PM

I got some track time in too!

30+ runs; best time was a 10.3005 @ 70mph

Launching at 2500rpm on econoCRAP aka Al Gore tires

Sounds like it should be a bit quicker for what's done. My 01 Cobra on 18s went 13.1 @ 106 with a 1.9 sixty foot with nothing done but a X pipe and 4.10 gears. Stock airbox, and all. Must have been fun to get to the track though! It's always a blast..as long as nothing breaks!

majorownage · February 28th, 2011, 12:48 AM

Yea, my 60 foot times are HORRID. Even with a huge smoky burnout, I can't give it full throttle till 20mphish, or I just end up spinning really bad.

I don't think you understand how bad these tires are haha.

I'm pretty sure with some tires I could easily do a 9 second run. My 60's are in the 2.5 second range. I KNOW that would improve SIGNIFICANTLY.
