If that's true, which it very well could be....

VERY cool! B)

CanadianStang

It would be graet; but I have my doubts.

Boomer

That is really cool.

Very neat to say the least!

mr-mstng

I figure it would be close, but not beat a Mach 1.

MM&FF will compare the two as soon as they get their hands on an 05.

Something doesn't sound right about that.

I don't know how reliable that is... but from the information given to us from the recent Motor Trend issue, I don't have any doubts that '05 GT will be able to take an '04 Mach. Actually, come to think of it... I never did have any doubts about that. <_<

Galaxie

In either case, the 2005 seems to be living up to its billing

The fact that it can keep up/beat a mach makes it worth the money for sure.

Hum....well a rolling start is a rolling start. And 1.5 car lengths is pretty impressive.

Okay, lets assume the worst, the guy in the Mach can't shift or something. Assume they are almost even at 120mph......then factor in the rolling start..... fact is, the 05 will launch faster than the Mach 1 or Cobra so even in this worst case (where we give the Mach a 1.5car length more than reported), technically the 05 should still beat them. Follow me?

Sounds pretty cool, can't wait to see some real world numbers from the track.

Andy Haynes

Dan good point. I cant wait to hear / see some dyno #'s for the 05's. From the looks of it so far Ford underrated yet another car. Which is all the better for us. I dont see why its so hard for everyone to accept the fact that this is going to be the best perforing mustang yet. Mach 1 owners calm down I am sure that Ford will come out with another se car sometime this year or next. Until then looks like you had better get to modding.

CatmanJJ

Alrady well on my way.

mach1fever

i just don't see it with the traps they have been getting but only time will tell.

Sweet deal. I knew the 05 would be close to a Mach1 but beat it? Could be driver related.

428CJ

Sounds like BS: Heres why...He says the race from a roll right? So they race and the 05 beats the Mach 1...Believable right? Until he says they get the SAME results when he races a Cobra...with 4.11s... SURE...

How on earth could a Cobra with new gears perform exactly like a stock Mach 1?

Of course the Cobra would be much quicker off the line but I don't think it would perform well at all towards 100MPH... And these guys raced all the way up to 120MPH.

I'm not saying the 05 isn't faster than a Mach..just saying the guys story is fishy.

64&94Stangs

Yeah... not really buying it, I think it is just another story by a poster that wants attention. Lets see how things go after the GT hits the streets, cause you know that there are going to be A LOT of people wanting to see what the car has. Don't get me wrong, not doubting the car, love the car, just doubting the validity of the guys story.

On a completely unrelated note...Boomer, I am really glad to see the evil monkey that lives in your closet has returned I love The Family Guy

RaGsHoCkEy88

we actually digussed the 2005 being faster than the mach 1

Boomer

Thanks Lee

People kept asking me...so I brought it back for a while

tangs3

Torque is the answer here guys the 3 valve is going to lauch harder than 4 valve, however 4 valve might end up with high top speed.

Andy Haynes

Why would you doubt what the guy who obviously works for magnaflow says? I am not saying that its true. But I think that there is a high possibility that this is no fabricated story just for kaka's and giggles.
