Drag strip duty

[NGOT8R]

Is there anyone out there that has taken their Mach 1 to the drag strip yet? If so, I’m curious as to what kind of ET the car is putting down and on what tires? A list of mods would also be great. Thanks

Sub'd, since I'm curious what a bone stock A10 will do....

Yes, thanks Strokerswild. Data on both manual and auto cars would be very helpful.

I mean, a10 gt can go upper 11s with magnaride. somehwere in the realm of 11.90s to 11.70s with good air and good traction. I wouldnt be surprised to see the mach to that or better.

I've been thinking for a while that a stock A10 Mach might just run an 11.5 quarter.

Time for someone to do it (or better).

I'd expect about the same as. GT with better rubber. It's only 20 HP more but also has the extra cooler weight.

The manual I expect maybe .2 faster than a manual GT.

I would expect better than a GT from the A10 Mach, since calibration and converter are allegedly different....

Ive not seen anywhere the converter is different?

From the press release: "Drivers can also opt for an available 10-speed SelectShift™ automatic transmission with an upgraded torque converter and unique calibration that enables optimizing torque capability, shift character and overall enhanced performance."

yep, totally missed that. Wonder what they really changed.

The thingy must be more robust to withstand higher abuse and transfer more power to the wheels Plus it's cooled lot better. Lap after lap of pure joy.
