I love the shaker, it really does shake, ALOT

Adam, these DOHC motors like to be winded up brotha. I got the dyno sheet verifying the power, and with 4.30's outback, it has zero traction when I drive it....

Certainly not a terminator by any means, but it will still go sideways by just stabbing the throttle. One of my favourite features is that the traction control was permanently turned off in the tune.

Congrats on the Mach 1. I had one a 2003 Dark Shadow Gray. Stock it was capable of 13.3@105-106. Bought her brand new when they had 0 percent for 60 on them.

Great car, sounded great. Would not mind picking up another.

My Old Mach 1. Major Garage queen. Only 2k miles in 2 years.

They are alot faster than people think. Yes, bone stock they trap around 106/107mph. With this setup, slicks they are capable of 110-115mph capable, depending on track weather. Guys have them in the 11's with this setup and weight reduction.

Yes, i sold the lightning. Another beast that patrols the atlanta streets....

Wow, over correction batman That actually also happened at mustang week a couple years ago, a black Kenne Belle cobra jumped on it pretty hard leaving the car show, the rear came around on him, over corrected and jumped the median. He hit an innocent driver. I will post it for you fella's.

As promised the KB Cobra making a major mistake. DVC, it is very hard to beat the exhaust note of a DOHC 4v Ford motor

Very nice. However, not in the market as of yet. Trying to reduce my fleet by selling my 42k Mile ML55.
