Trans Am vs. boosted Mach 1
Im on the highway driving along in the fast lane looking all fly from the recent carwash when I see an 03-04 Blue Mach 1 getting on the the interstate 4 lanes over.
Hoping for a mildly modded Mach to play with I drop into 3rd and get his attention. Thats when I saw the nice stainless exhaust and was getting pretty amped up. The guy ends up beside me and thats when I saw the 2 gauge pillar and the smile on the drivers face. Im about to bust my load but there is pretty heavy traffic so we play around for a couple miles. Then we get a pretty decent opening with him a car behind me at 70ish and I go WOT as does he. I take it up to about 120 with him probably 2 cars ahead of me and have to brake hard because of traffic. Hes able to run up some so I spent the next few miles slowly catching up to this beast. We end up getting off at the same exit and turn down the same 2 lane stretch thats pefect for fun. This is where I confirm the guys boosted because I have now seen the intercooler up front. 1st run from 30. He pulls me by a car and then proceeds to put about 4-5 on me to about 110 when I shut down. 2nd run from around 50. He pulls but only put around 3-4 on me to about 120 when I shut down. I dont know if he was turbo or supercharged. I couldnt hear due to my exhaust. He lives in my county and probably around my house. I didnt get a chance to talk to him but his shit was fast. I was very, very happy.

Re: Trans Am vs. boosted Mach 1
That would be a sick ass race to watch! I bet he was supercharged since thats a pretty common thing for those guys to do...perhaps the kenne bell

Re: Trans Am vs. boosted Mach 1
I can almost guarantee you he had a centrifugal supercharger. Very common for Stangs in general to have. Lots of top end power like a turbo though as oppose to more low end like a roots type supercharger. Honorable death though, sounds fun!

Re: Trans Am vs. boosted Mach 1
Kenne Bell. Because anything less than 15 lbs on a supercharger is just silly.
