Re: Subaru STI vs. RX7 vs. Lightning

I guess they might as well pull the supercharger off the Cobra then because the car is just as fast without one, right? Who needs that extra 85 HP to run 13.0 when you can do it with 305, which I might add his dyno chart proves he ain't making crap for power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Subaru STI vs. RX7 vs. Lightning

I'm not even gonna argue with you anymore, you know everything. Anything I say you switch it around like it's a lie anyway's, So why waste my time trying to get it through your head Mach 1's can run low 13's.

Re: Subaru STI vs. RX7 vs. Lightning

Hey folks, the conclusion is every one sell your 390 HP supercharged Cobra, because the N/A Mach 1 is almost just as fast with 85 less HP.

NOT!

ok, you want proof of my 10.5??? here's a pic of one of my 10.47 runs, note the current forum screen in back so you know this isn't some stock photo I dug up, also note my MPH was low at the end the car got loose and I had to let off or It would've been about a 131 MPH run.

Re: Subaru STI vs. RX7 vs. Lightning

Ok, I did a lot of web searching, it seems I'm not the only one arguing Mach 1 times, a handfull of folks swear low 13's but it seems the majority are running 13.4-13.8 with their MPH consistent with those times so it's not a driver issue.

I don't know if Ford made some ringers or what, but it would seem 85% are runnning 13.4-13.8 and less than 15% claim runs 13.4 and below.

That would require an about an additional 45+ HP and I don't see where that could magically come from.

Either these ringers have mods and drag tires or there's some inconsistency with the cars from the factory which I find VERY hard to believe there can be a 45HP difference from Mach 1 to Mach 1.

Considering the brand loyalty BS that a lot of folks pull my guess is these folks have mods.

3 Questions:
1. How many folks buy a Mach 1? Few.

2. Out of that how many take em to the track? Even less.

3. How many are claiming sub 13's? Even FAR less.

The ones going to the track and claiming "stock" sub 13's are in my guess die hard Ford brand loyalists, they'll do anything to promote their brand.

I've seen 3 Mach 1 's at my local track, none run faster than 13.6 and all the drivers seem to know what they are doing, their MPH are consistent with their time which indicates good launch driving skills.

So there may be some folks claiming sub 13's "pure stock" but after looking at all the facts it would seem those times are inconsistent and in serious question.
