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.

Im pretty sure i've heard of f-body's runnin 12's with a stick in stock form. But how many cars will stay stock? That LSx motor is one hell of a motor, ford has to slap on a blower to keep up with them. So mod for mod, the win goes to fbody's i'd say. They can be a BEAST all motor, without a blower, without nitrous. A 4.6 cant do much of anything N/A....can it?

Either way, mach's are still nice cars, but GM definately has the better power plant IMO. There are LS1 cars with just longtubes and a tune, and they're are 360rwhp. Without the LS6 intake, without a cam. Add those 2 and you're gonna be knockin down 400rwhp. Thats more than stock 03 cobras. Then strap a blower on top and let the fun begin! lol But seriously, i like N/A power, and that is what the LSx motors do best.
