My 98 M6 weighed in at 3370 with me in car. I have a Cobra now and love the Fords, but it is funny to log on and everyone and their dog has beaten an Ls1, yet in all the road tests the the ls1's were way faster than any of the Fords we are talking about.

Well you might think it's funny, and you might think you know it all too, but you're sadly mistaken. Bone stock, and I'm talking just the way it came off the dealers lot, my Mach 1 ran a 13.19 @ 105. That my friend, is right in the same territory as the best stock fbody. And those dyno numbers are about right for an automatic Mach 1. Weight-wise, my Mach 1 stock weighed a little over 3400lbs, and now weighs about 3320lbs with me in it, and I weigh about 235lbs, so where do you get the idea that the fbody has some kind of strategic weight advantage? Contrary to popular opinion, the LSx motors are NOT touched by the hand of God.
