I can't imagine how embarrassing it must be to lose control and hit other vehicles, especially while all those people are watching. I don't think I even went over 35mph when I left.

Was wondering if you were going to ship mine soon, since mustang week is getting close?

Thanks man, I'll remember that. And I guess you're talking about the 96-98 Cobra cams? Did I get those years right? I've heard about people doing that swap before I believe. Edit: never mind, just read your sig. lol

Thanks man, I'll give it a shot. I still have the 3.55, obviously, since it's stock... so any tips on how to best shift a stock mach are much appreciated.

Thanks man! Was hoping it could have been 3 wins, but when that dude said he was going home to change tires, simply to take on a bone stock mach, I realized he wasn't just out to play. lol My friend, there are plenty of shenanigans left to be had! I could road trip soon, maybe see what Lexington, NC looks like. Probably not as basketball crazy as the Lexington up here. You ever talk to the higher ups about getting a 4 day weekend for mustang week?

You're absolutely right man, they even mentioned going to the track instead, next time. Thanks man, I love the background... really makes for a great spot for photos. I have pics with a couple other cars down there too. Parking garages are the best. lol

My Mach 1 is bone stock, and staying that way for a while, until I graduate. Even though it's stock though, a few friends have got me out to race some, and I figured I'd share my last 3 races. (assuming this is the right spot to post it) I was at the gas station one night with a friend, and this turbo 4-banger pulls in, some kind of Dodge Stratus? Cobalt? Looking thing, with a carbon fiber hood. My friend challenges him to a race, on my behalf. And I'm thinking he's going to beat me, since he's in a light-weight 4 cylinder with a turbo, and I'm factory. We go from a dig, and I baby it out of the hole, since I have no traction. Hit all the gears perfect, 2nd right at 6,800, and all the rest a little below. Ran off and left him. He catches back up and says he was spinning, so we decide to go from a 15mph roll, in which he pulled ahead a bit at the beginning, but once I got halfway through second, I went by him, and proceeded to win again. This time he said his engine was missing. And my friend, who was riding shotgun, tells me, "ah... he's a pill head anyway." Second race was today, against my buddy's 2V GT. It has 4.10 gear, short throw, and a bunch of bolt-ons, think he had some kind of drag/street tire set-up. We went from a roll, about 20mph... he jumped ahead, but the moment I hit 3rd, walked off and left him. We went again from a dig... spun a bit, but eventually passed him again and won. He's a pretty good driver, and told me the Mach ran good for just having the 3.55 Third race was a little later... I lost. It was against a 5,0 foxbody with drag slicks on it, among a bunch of other stuff. Could never launch as good as him, and although he didn't destroy me, he still won. Assuming I had slicks, I think I would have stayed a bit closer, if not even. Dude said he could hear me spinning. Here is my friends GT, with the Mach:

Yes sir. It will only be my 3rd time though, but it's fun driving the Mach down from Ky. Most my family lives in SC anyway. Looking to get some cool car pics with everyone, even though I'm still the new guy here.

This one is my favorite...

A few pics...

By the way... is there a kill story thread? I'm going to feel stupid if there is, because I looked all over for one.

What's up everybody!!! Sorry I waited so long to reply. I'm pumped to finally be on board, and y'all can thank Caleb for that. By the way... I'm a former member of mustangboards.com, well... technically still a member, but it's usually dead on there. As Caleb would tell you, I'm a big fan of the V6 Mustangs... and a 2001 3.8 was in fact, my first Mustang, which I still have. After five years of owning it, I finally got tired of all my 2-valve friends telling me to "get a GT! get a GT!"... so I did what any sane person would do... and bought a 2003 Mach 1, with 12,400 miles on it. That was in 2011. Now, at 32k miles... she is still bone stock, with the exception of custom embroidered head rest, and a shorty antenna. My V6, which I still daily drive, has been running H@R supersport springs with factory shocks and struts for over 20k miles now. Yea... I can't really believe it either. Nice to be here!
