Helmet_hair Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I dunno. IROC-Z was more popular with the old generation wops. I'm not a big fan of muscle cars. I guess since I drive so much, I'd rather be comfortable as well. There's something about hitting 200 mph with a Mercedes Benz that makes my adrenaline flow 714248[/snapback] Wow, you mean you actually found time to drive the Benz between shop visits! Back when I had the stock 3.55 axle in I used my flash tuner to turn off the top end speed governor and easily reached 200 MPH at the track. Driving 200 MPH anywhere but at the track is INSANE!

inkman Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 That pig is almost as heavy as a battleship at over 5000 lbs. It’s almost twice as heavy as my Mach 1. Over weight, with only a 2.65 axle ratio compared to my 4.30 ratio, I’m pretty sure I’d take it in the ¼ mile easily. 714395[/snapback] Mustang Mach 1 : 0-60 mph : 5.3 sec. Mercedes Benz S65 : 0-60 mph : 5.4 sec. ..and with your after market adjustments, I'd say you are correct. It would be fun to test though...

Another advantage the Mach 1 has is the solid rear axle which helps it hookup off the line. Yes, it would be fun to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our had 10k less miles on it. I wouldn't trade in any car. I sold my car on ebay. I got 4k, cash (literally) for my '96 Acura Integra GSR(80k miles). When I walked into the Honda dealership, I plopped the rolled up 20's down on the table in front of the salesman. He almost had a heart attack....
