Hey to say it but it would be considered Stock in my world. Since it is still on DOT tires. That is a lot fast then most of the cars out in the world that think they run 12's. ...mls

Peace,

Damn boy, have you been eating paint chips again? The Corvette, NOT a musclecar?!? To many people it is "THE musclecar". If not the mustang, what other Ford vehicle will you compare the Corvette to. If it is in a class of it's own, then what does it say about Ford. The mustang has always been a respectable musclecar and I consider it a match for the Corvette. The Corvette does beat out the mustang in almost all categories but not by a landslide. The Corvette was built by and for a specific breed of performance fanatics that wasn't being filled by other automotive manufacturers. The "showdown" has always been "Ford vs. Chevy" by popularity and now Mopar is really getting in there. Close behind is the imports, gaining popularity yearly and taking a bigger slice of the pie every day.

Just out of interest...
what kind of bhp would you be looking at for a 12second, 11second,10second and 9 second 1/4 mile run?

and another question that you may be able to answer.. what have you got to do to a factory car to get it running that quick?

thanks.

oh and while im at it.. Novaboy.. when can we expect more photos of the nova on your web site????

>>i agree...but gee what does a stock zo6 run on drag radials?

Damn novaboy, does it ever end with you? Have some respect for the car, don't bag on it cuz it's a Ford. Anyway, a Z06 on DRs will run a 12.1. I have a friend that has one and with 1800 miles on the odometer he ran a 12.1. However, you can't compare a Z06 to a Mach 1. One is a 30k car, the other is a 50k car. I have MUCH respect for the Z06 and I would like to own one. It is not however practical for me at this point. I am married, have a baby on the way and under 25(insurance would be a nightmare). Maybe in a few years.

There are too many factors to say you need this much horsepower to run this fast. I know 11 sec. Mustangs have around 450 to the wheels. It depends on the driver though. Some drivers could pull a low 11 sec with 450 to the wheels, some are barely squeaking under a 12.

I think the Mach 1 borrowed some part from the Bullit and the Cobra. I know they are using the 32V V8 from the Cobra. I think they are using the Bullit suspension components. I am not sure about the exhaust. It also comes with a Ram Air shaker hood (not sure how much this adds, but it is a 700 dollar aftermarket piece, not worth it IMHO). The factory exhaust on the Mustangs has always sucked. Up until 2001 there were 6 cats on the stock h-pipe. How friggin unnecessary is that? And the POS mufflers are a whole different story. Not to mention the fact it's not mandrel bent. The headers are good for about 450 to the wheels, so those aren't the problem. I am not too sure what else they have done to the car. All I know it is officially going to be a production car slated for release late this year.

Know what my next ride is going to be?
