Which is faster mach 1 or 01 cobra?

[ponygt65]

If all were the same (track, driver, weather..yadda yadda) the mach would be a few tenths faster. Having said that....you rarely have the 'same' conditions to be able to have a for sure comparison. looking at the car, the mach is faster.......here's why..

TQ curve and peak numbers.
Solid rear
3.55s

THe HP dyno numbers are very close (peak). The HP curve is also very close. The weight difference is so minimal you can't really look at it. A few tenths is close enough for it to be a driver's race though.

i am still waiting to here how the 01 mustang svt is only 9 lbs heavier than the 02 mustang gt? even though the svt has the dohc engine and the irs.

My only guess is the 70pound difference between the Alum block and the Cast iron block. :shrug: :beer:

I didn't like that too much. I haven't read it, and i respect ALL the drivers/participents, but the thing that started all of that, was what car is faster bone stock...JUST LIKE this thread. There wasn't a single bone stock car there. ONly one lightly modified.

 

[BrookhavenTuner]

Yeah the whole thing was pointless...It didn't finalize anything. You cant have a race of modified cars and use it to decide anything.

In other words...make it a geared mach1 and you will beat a mach1?

 

[50TRIMSRT4]

mach1 has gear advantage and solid axle other than that it's a drivers race...
