 I don't know whether to get GT vert or GT coupe ($ GT vert = $ Mach 1) But I want to stick with GT. Any thoughts on that?

*insert derogatory adjective here*  Group: Advanced Members Posts: 518 Member No.: 385 Joined: Apr 28th 2003 Location: Update Profile | They didn't...They were all turbocharged as far as I know...My friend did have plans of swapping the FD's engine for a NA FC engine, but I don't know if he ever did that...or even if it's possible...I don't know... |

BWAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAAAAAHAAA!! *takes in air, sighs* BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! Youre kidding, right? The Mach 1 can not.. I repeat, can NOT out accelerate an LS1 F-bod. Ive never heard of an N/A Stang running 12s straight off the shhowroom floor, as I have with many SS's and WS6's. | ||||

Pre-production Mach 1's ran 13's flat...Get an actual production model and put a few break-in miles, and I guarentee it will run 12's with the F-Bodies on stock conditions... | ||||||

*insert derogatory adjective here* Group: Advanced Members Posts: 518 Member No.: 385 Joined: Apr 28th 2003 Location: Update Profile | I go to the Ohio Valley drag strip every now and then, and I've seen a new Mach 1 with only 200 miles on the ODO make a 13-flat run...I don't live just by magazines and websites for proof... |

not meaning to step into your argument here, but maybe the driver you saw wasnt very good? A GTR would still run a 30 second pass if it was being driven by my mum. | ||

*insert derogatory adjective here* Group: Advanced Members Posts: 518 Member No.: 385 Joined: Apr 28th 2003 Location: Update Profile | Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords ran a brand-new Mach 1 with the 5-speed as well, but only got a 13.1...The lot of them (staff) are active drag racers, so a .10 of a second between a regular racer and a racer for a magazine must mean something, and it may not...All I know is I saw proof in real-time, and I'd like to see more runs from that guy... As for on-topic, I'd still get the Mach 1 if it matches performance with an F-Body for nearly $5-grand less, although a convertible GT wouldn't be bad either as a good chick-attractive cruise... |

Last I checked, weren't all Fc and FD engines rotary? Regardless if its in a NA or FI form? | ||

*insert derogatory adjective here* Group: Advanced Members Posts: 518 Member No.: 385 Joined: Apr 28th 2003 Location: Update Profile | Yes...I just meant a NA rotar swap in place of the TG'ed rotary... Quite picky on sentence formation, eh? |

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 607 Member No.: 275 Joined: Feb 25th 2003 Location: Sayreville, NJ | Well I can see we have the old debate, Ford vs Chevy. The F body vs the fox body. I'll keep my Bias to myself and say this, you never buy a first year run of any model, you wait to see the bugs first. And Back a few pages to the S-10 sonoma statement, yes they are mini pickups. |
