I finally got to do a full 1/4 mile run against my buddy's stock '03 Mach 1 last night. It was late and we got the light on a 4-lane divided highway. Since there were no other cars the light went green sooner than we expected so we both blazed the tires in 1st gear. I have R-compounds and 4.10s so I pulled about 1.5 cars on him through 1st and 2nd. After that he was creeping on me the whole time. He finally passed me at about 105, so I think it was dead nuts as far the 1/4 goes (my car traps about 103 usually).
I'm pretty happy that my car hangs like it does with his given the limited power mods I have. If i don't spin 'em on the launch I kill him up to 60. If we race from a roll on the freeway he starts slowly pulling immediately.
