I've outgrown the tire-frying phase, but feathering the throttle on these radials still makes for a pretty decent 60-foot on the street. Since I added the Vigilante, I've run three guys I know with M6s. They all beat me,( barely in the case of the Camaros), but they had to play "catch-up", and they were all modded more than me. The two Camaros had 3.73s, and identical mods, and the T/A had 4.10s, while I'm still saddled with the 2.73s. If I had the 3.73s, I would have easily taken down the Camaros, and given the more heavily modded T/A more trouble. I think I may add the 3.73s just to have more fun with the car for now, but not mod it any more because I plan to trade it for a Vette in the spring.....an A4 Vette. A properly-built auto is very tough in the quarter.

Highly agreed. My stall (Yank Super Stock) was worth three-tenths by itself. Definitely my favorite investment for the money!

Well I am going to have to go against the grain here and say that the Mach is going to pull... I just sold my 03 M5 Mach.. I had intake spacer, intake, exhaust, and an sct tune and I put down 311/336, and I was never beaten by a lightly modded M6.. I will say that Mach's do not put down consistent numbers, so he may not have what I did.. but I ran 12.72 @ 109mph, and that was with less than a grand in mods.. And with stock subframe connectors and a decent susp setup, they can launch pretty damn hard.. I would like to see it though, good luck

he put down 265/282...stock... now with intake and X-pipe...Stock Catback... and such... I think he'll get to the 280's...

anyways... it all keeps getting delayed cause of RAIN... and they haven't settled on anything about his accident...

If an LS1 is on top of his game, it should have no problem pulling a Mach 1. I've seen LS1's put down those numbers completely stock, and 12's are just tires away. Trust me, i've seen it before!

I runs 12.8s with jsut headers, catback and lid, with drag radials 12.4-12.5 are possible, now that im tuned.

**Seraph** · 10-15-2007, 11:48 AM

Well well, Im the Mach guy that rikki want to run against. Let see you guys says is a driver race, know what I LOVE YOU all give me hopes on winning.
Since im always saying ill lose but he'll have me very close to his car, not getting pulled like 3 cars like he says he is going to beat me.

+1
My '01 A4 pulled 300/335. It's totally stock except for a K & N FIPK and a Vigilante converter. It's not even tuned.

Dude you are trapping the EXACT same as me when i first bought my TA lmao 13.8 w/ 2.2 60ft at 102....Anyways, my money goes to the Mach if he can get a good row through the gears. Dont forget to record it!

need to find a whilling camera man...with a fast enough car... I mean.. his brother has a Supra but it's unlikely he'll wanna be the chase car... and the other options are really slow cars!!!...

btw... if I can grip and get under 2 sec 60ft I should be able to get 13.5's...

**01RaptorTA** · 10-16-2007, 08:15 AM

Yea i hear ya. I havnt ran mine yet with the longtubes and shift kit, im waiting for stall and gears first. Hoping to see a 12.9 but who knows

**01RaptorTA** · 10-16-2007, 08:22 AM

Thanks! Look into some nittos man. Cheap and really changed the way my A4 drove

LOL... that's funny... cause I got Nitto's... just not 555's...

... I used to have some Kuhmo's (and still have them stored)...that worked just as good as the 555's... but I'm waiting on a Junkyard Find for some nice Z28 rims to put em on and go snap my Diff.

**2000T/A Guru** · 10-16-2007, 09:13 AM

Lol it will be a close race

**JwMonE99** · 10-16-2007, 01:47 PM

Personally I would choose a mach1 over an LS1

**2000T/A Guru** · 10-16-2007, 02:00 PM

Finally one of the fbody crowd with some balls to admit it.

**2000T/A Guru** · 10-16-2007, 02:10 PM

Hey i love the mach1 i have friends who have them, one of the only stangs i would ever drive, but not over my T/A. Never, thats like goin from charmin TP to sand paper, but you should know how that feels now that you own a GT hey Raptor.

**01RaptorTA** · 10-16-2007, 02:20 PM

...i dont own a GT? I sold that over a year ago dipshit.

In any event, i'd take my GT over my Trans Am any day. It was an all around better car, you wouldn't understand.
