The 69 mach 1 with the 428 cobra jet was the fastest 1/4 mile car right off the showroom floor. Low 11 seconds right out of the box. Watched the years of ford the other night on speed vision.

Both, It was the Fastest 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile car off the showroom floor ford put out. No other manufacturer had faster track times right out of the box back then.The AC cobra was the fastest (road race) car powered by ford. I'm not talking trash about any other cars, just saying in 69 the mach 1 came with an 11 second option right out of the showroom. And that was for under 7,000 bux! Try finding a 11 second car today, it would cost over 100kOriginally Posted by Money Boss Hustla

Acually in 69 chevy's Z28 was faster than the mach 1. This is one of the only 3 years that chevy made a 302. They didnt make many of them but the ones that they did make were bad ass.
Really? I found this comment hard to believe b/c I have ridden in a 302 and it was quick but not that quick. I could see a 427 Yenko tearing up some track times though.Originally Posted by nevaenuf
It produced "290 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 290 ft. lbs. of torque at 4200 rpm" while "quarter mile times were in the low to mid 14-second bracket, depending upon the conditions the test was performed under."

Secondly I also find it hard to beleive the Mach 1 did 11 seconds. I'm trying to find the stats on that car right now. I'm seeing times of high 13's.
I still like the Mustangs better.![]()
