[collins]

I stopped filming, figured we shut it down. He was only 1/4 throttle in 5th (when you started coming back), so that wouldn't have been an accurate representation of his cars true capability in 5th gear.

Can't have people thinking you're going to be reeling in a 475 RWHP Mach 1!

When I saw you starting to come back I was like WTF mate? I knew 5th gear was bad for the Mach but didn't think it was that bad. Then I asked Deon if he was still in it and he said, "nah, maybe 1/4 throttle".

Yeah, my fuel pump is maxed, and I don't like running too hard in 5th and risk to fuel cut off b/c my rev limiter is set about 800rmp sooner than I'm used to. Gotta upgrade lol.

Other than that, normally 4th will go to ~140, and 5th...well, we'll see.

Nice video! +1 for the song selection!

[TS240]

My internet sucks, still waiting on the download.

[collins]

[TS240]

Nice vid. +1

[SpooL'DGsR]

dammit ! i hate my work computer ! cant watch vids ftl.

[Footefan52]

Nice runs everyone finally some people in the kill forums that actually deserve to be here

[Maniac1]

Nice video man!

[nightracer]

Nice video man!

If that is your car in your sig I saw you not too long ago when I was going out to eagle's landing on 75..

[redrumracer]

nice vid man.

[Revmaynard]

Good runs, that GTO got pulled on.

[collins]

Good runs, that GTO got pulled on.

well considering its a heavier car with almost 100 less rwhp, i don't think it did too bad

[iloveboost]

Good runs, guys. I think the GT500 would've pulled you Marshall if you both cars didn't have a passengers. Adding extra weight to an already heavy car isn't exactly fair.

Either way, good kill!

[LEAVINU]

seeing I got out ahead by a car on the first run and 3/4 car the second run we would be dead even with no passenger in either car. Still good for me.


fair? Adding extra weight to a car 200+ hp lesser isnt fair.


They were good runs and pretty fair in my eyes. I have no gripe re-running the GT500 in same situation with no passenger.

[iloveboost]

Uh, you didn't have a passenger though. The Mach1 got stuck with an extra 150lbs for the passenger. He would've pulled more without Rick in the car.

[z0-sick]

mac's cant view it buddy,

[03CobraAV8R]

Thanks guys

mac's cant view it buddy,

I'll get it up on YouTube tonight, will post that link in here as well - wish I knew how to convert it to a higher quality .mov.

[LEAVINU]

Music to my ears.
Thanks Rick.

[GTslOw]

Music to my ears.
Thanks Rick.

so how did a 432rwhp vette pull the gt500 the same as a 505rwhp z06

[LEAVINU]

pull the gt500 the same as a 505rwhp z06

actually the C6Z pulled the GT500 on 20" wheels, and my runs with the GT500 he was on 17" lighter wheels with no traction issues on the second run.

[TS240]

so how did a 432rwhp vette pull the gt500 the same as a 505rwhp z06

Different tunes + different drivers.

[Lankhoss]

so how did a 432rwhp vette pull the gt500 the same as a 505rwhp z06

I had a passenger in each of my runs, and Marshal didn't. Also, I'm pulling a little bit better up top in each gear.

[AnclyT]

i feel bad for that gt500

c6's are running this forum!

[khan351]

shelby's are a fcuking pig! c6 was moving out!

[sleepys4]

Good videos. The bike in the videos is for sale. LOL. I wish we could have got the bike vs the gto on video. Nice editing.

[collins]

i never said he wouldnt.

[AnclyT]

lol.. marshall is tricky tricky!

we gotta run again, hopefully next month

[collins]

yeah, it'll be better to see it out after the new clutch and a retune (no... not retuning for a clutch lol that would be rediculous... just retuning in general.) she still gets her ass handed to her by the big dogs! haha

[03CobraAV8R]

I wouldn't be surprised if you're having some clutch slip up in the higher RPM's with it being pretty worn out.

I was having that on my old clutch for who knows how long, just saw it on the dyno last Friday when I was getting retuned for 60# injectors and before I put the new clutch in. It pulls to ~105+ now in 3rd @ 6,500 - whereas before it would only show ~100 on the speedo but ~6,5k on the RPM because of slip.

you know, its interesting you say that, because about 6 months ago i remember shifting into 5th riiiiiight at the 150 mark... saturday night, my gps said max speed was 144 and that was AFTER i hit 5th, so that would make sense... its cool tho, i start a new job this week so i'll have some extra income to throw at the clutch... we'll meet up again.

[Revmaynard]

Haha, facts aside, it is a Ford guys....Haha. Kidding, from the numbers it seems it was about the drivers.

[AnclyT]

b/c they have like triple our displacement! lol

[collins]

hey hey hey... not EVERYBODY has triple the displacement! i mean, i do... but i'm still slow

[qsz]

you guys do know that heat soak is very prevelent on those cars... they will lose 30-40rwhp from continuous runs. i watched a bolt on cobra do his first dyno cold at 445, second 5 minutes later do 430 and his last 10 minutes later was 420.

heat soak plays a major factor. i guarantee by the end of those runs, that car was hot as hell.

and fyi, 1000 pounds makes a HUGE difference. i beat a stock gt500 with only 348rwhp. id rape them now with 75+-rwhp more.

Thats why I raced him only twice, and outcome was comparable both runs. There is no point in racing the same car 6 or 7 times and filming each one.
