it could happen. there are many 'stangs out there that are really fast. but not for only $500. plus the awd system on suby's is known for a lot of under steer.

I have met the driver of the mach1 before, I can tell you that he is a pro race car driver with 15+ years experience racing. I went on a cruise the other weekend in my friends mach. We followed Aaron, and i can say that he is insane! I own a wrx and i have seen many sti's perform. And there is no way a stock sti will keep up with him. His mach pulls over a G on the skid pad. Quit your *****ing, an STI lost to a mach!.

My thoughts exactly. They are two very different cars, but they are both fast and both can handle well. I had a ton of fun in a Mustang at Bondurant, but I couldn't come close to keeping up with the instructor...who was driving a Crown Vic. lol

OH NO3S!!! TEH C0P C4R IS TEH FAST4R!11!!

I believe it because of the tires.

Those tires are damn neaer driving with racing slicks. If you throw comparable tires on the STi...ownage.

I witness this on an actual dragstrip. A Mach 1 and STI going at it. STI won @ 12.9, the Mach 1 came in @ 13.5 with a .500 light. Both guys are best friends, but the Mach 1 owner got a lot of flack from us though. He won't be making those Uncle Ben's "Flavaful Rice" remark again.

It takes very little modifications to make the Mach handle pretty well... Not to mention very little costs...under $500.00 for the suspension mods..tires we're way more :spinem:"
that STI's driver must be on the phone or having his burger while driving
