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.

How come 95% of people here all have a different answer for the gears that come with Mach 1's...it makes my eyes bleed.

Amazing that a NON-MUSTANG OWNER TAKES YOU ALL TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!

Good race & good thing you kept it short!!!!

you can get a Mach 1 with 4.10 gears, I read that in car and driver mag when the mach1 came out.

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.
