3.55's were optional on NA cars, standard on Extreme cars, and not available on SC cars. 3.27's came standard on NA S281's in 2004.

Still confused.

Sounds like there's more to the car then being said. Like bigger cam, BB or stroked and a short runner.

I don't care if your Mach is gifted, it DOES NOT perform like that with "bolt ons" and mild cams. If you're lucky... Very lucky. Your car might trap 110. A srt8 jeep is no slouch, neither is a sc M3.... Therefore I call [BS flag]

You just have way too much confidence in your mustang with a few extra valves is all... Lol

How do you figure that ?.. My car with bolt ons on Slicks at 15psi has seen a 108mph with shitty 60ft's... So a cammed Mach 1 and bolt ons should see a better trap

Frick i think you should stick to bench racing on GM sites dude...

Bench racing? LOL!!

Dustin ran comparable times to yours in his Mach with road race suspension.... When my car was stock (with 2 females passengers) I got him. You know what standard LSX mods do to those motors, cuz you used to own a batmobile. Lol I'm saying this Mach might trap 110. Why's that so terrible of me to say? Just because my car is not capable, from an engineering standpoint, of 60'ing well you call me a bench racer, when I've been in the game as long as you. My Cadillac traps 110.8 in 95* heat. What's your race car trap?

Was that too harsh? Lol
