Ill keep this short. My buddy, his bro and myself were traveling down a strait, flat, empty 2 lane road when a ls1 ta pulled up next to us. I looked over and saw the passenger say "Mach1." I looked over and gave the guy a nod and it was on. I dropped to 2nd at about 35 mph, 3 honks and we were off. I scratched 3rd and pulled about half a car up to 90 and we shut down. The end.
Whats your RWHP??? Please share with us because certain people dont believe that 275-280 rwhp will hang with or beat a LS1. Unless you have mods thats what you should be pushing.

Im pretty sure, the new mach 1's are rated at 305 hp They also have the 3.89 gears which haul too.

They're rated at 305, but some have dyno'd around 280-290s to the wheels. Also Mach I's come stock with 3.55s.

the ls1 is the god of engines they are unstoppable from stock and modded they beat the speed of light
Empty you crack my **** up. Remember this? quote: ORIGINAL: EmptyEvergreen "no way man...i saw an LS1 fight godzilla and the LS1 beat godzilla and it looked in the air and was like what do you think of that god and god was like bring it bitch so they fought and the LS1 beat god now the LS1 is god because its the greatest thing ever" That's in my sig on other boards I post on.
Mach1, what speed does your car trap at? That would determine the winner in a highway race like this one. My LS1 is an automatic and trapped at 104 bone stock (105 now). Your Mach is running pretty well to keep up with Ellis on the highway. Nice kill!

It's possible for a car with that little RWHP to beat an LS1. I'd say so from a dig. Stock 2.73 rear end coupled with an auto, it'd be a pig out of the hole. Against any other type of LS1, one with factory optioned 3.23 gears or 3.42's for an M6, there shouldn't be much of a chance, especially from a roll. This all assuming that the two cars are nearly identical in weight.
Anyway, I believe this guy. He seems to be one of the more level headed and honest Mustang owners on this hur site.

I agree, definitely doable. The Mach 1 is the most comparable Stang to the LS1.
