Stock00Z28 said:THe reason I say that is cuz The Mach have the upper hand, and are supposed to be doing better thats why I say that. Now if the Mah weighed as much as a camaro and had the same gears as a camaro, then it would not be running a 13.19, If can barely run that with gears and light weight, then imagine how much slower it would be if it was even to the Z28. That just shows that no matter who or what has the upper hand, CHEVY ALWAYS COMES OUT ON TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
]]Steve Gunn said:Here's my take from the other side of the fence. A stock for stock manual 1/4 mile run should play out like this:
The mach has lower(tighter) 1rst and 2nd gear trans ratios. Equally driven, the mach clearly has the 1/8th mile advantage.
After the 1/8th, the LS1's power will reel the mach in and walk past it before the traps.
On the street, I'd say it's a drivers race.

It's already obvious to me that: He doesn't know what he's talking about and is only posting to try to start s**t.
A4 F-bodies came with 2.73s unless the "performance axle" was opted for, in that case they got 3.23s.
M6's came with 3.42s, no options for anything else.
Stock vs. stock, a Mach vs. LS1 F-body is going to be a driver's race. I'd give a very slight edge to the LS1 (especially as speeds increase) but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a Mach 1 pull on an LS1 (even well past 100mph).

torchredmach1 said:I have a 2003 Mach 1. Last night I ran a 2002 SS Camaro. He had a smooth bellow and a factory Hurst six speed. I have 2 chamber flows and a Pro5.0, so we were both very close to stock. I got him out of the hole every time by about a half a car. When we shut down (around the middle of fourth gear for me) we were neck and neck all three times. He pulled hard on me toward the end of third, but once i changed to fourth all was even again. Nose to Nose..............both are awsome cars.
