prolly is under rated

Because if you think about it, a TransAM weighs about the exact same and is rated at 325hp and there are many in the low13s and a couple in the high12s with a better mph.

Also, the Mach 1 might be geared more aggressively. Not sure.

Just browsing a mustang forum, I saw a guy's signature say 297rwhp and 327rwtq on a stock Mach 1

under-rated

That's right, now you know why my SN is under-rated because I take my opponents out by suprise.

biatch...

Yep...Ford used the same sort of scale on the Mach they used on the 03+ Cobra. Many Machs are dynoing at 290+RWHP so either Ford managed to dramatically increase the efficiency of the Tremec T56 or they were conservative on their hp rating.

Mr.Aqua

When I ran my freinds Mach1 I got spanked pretty bad he had about 4-5 car lenghts up to 120+

I dyno'd at 214.1

He was stock. I am suprised you keep'd up as well as you did

Good run! Evidently he is a very good driver, his 60ft times are very good.

Yep, I was wondering the same thing. How can a 305-hp that weighs 3500-ish do a low 13, high 12-sec 1/4mi? But now we know that it's under-rated. 290rwhp = approximately 350 hp.

Is this the same Mustang that Car and Driver tested along with the Z, S2000, Audi TT in a comparo 2 summers ago? They only managed a high 13 for it.

Car and Driver also only got a 14.9 at 95mph from the S2000.

And we all know better.

Officer_down

I think that S2000 was seriously ill. They got "right" times for the Z and TT though. So they didn't get slower times for every car.

Good God! 95mph trap speed?

How can the Mach 1 go so fast..... It has a solid axle ( no IRS and accompanying wheel hop), 3:55 gears, and redesigned heads that allow for much more low-end torque then the 01 and older cobras. The low end torque and gearing get it up and moving.... on the high end the 4v heads keep it moving.

Avg. Mach 1's put down high 270's/ low 280's rwhp and high 290's-low 300's rwtq.
