ive race a hand full of ls1's with my full bolt on gt (old old setup). Never lost. i never raced past mid 4th gear either. I only had 282rwhp with a 2v 4.6L. people will say they werent drove right/running right. I had drag suspension so i could pull so hard out of the hole shot. yeah they have the 130mph+ speed capibility but who cares. I also see a lot of people that say they stuff is better because its theres. Most/all MACH1's drivers dont know how to drive though. I just hate it when people think LS1/f-body's are not the end all engine/car. In my opinion i hate the boat looking f-bodys.
i love my boat

i have 373s with mickey thompson et streets. the 13.3 run was on nittos with a 2.0 60ft i belive and i pill 1.8s all day with the mickeys. hopefully i could pull another tenth or 2 out of her. as for the mach driver, not like this should have anything to do with his driving ablilities but he was askin me my mods and i told him i had a 100 shot so i said im pretty confident i could beat him, them he goes"but its a 4v not a 2v" like thats supposed to matter or somethin? plain and simple, i make a but load more hp then him and have suspension mods plus sticky tires. on the bottle he is done. he just didnt seem to birght to me...
Proof? Yea, I could (and will if you insist) go on youtube and pull up several dyno pulls showing Machs putting down +280rwhp bone stock. Motertrend did a test on the Mach and proved that they were underated and were putting out 325hp at the crank. Take a high 14% drivetrain loss and you have 280rwhp. There is a guy in the Mach section that put down like 291rwhp with just an exhaust, headers, and a CAI, no tune. Just say that he picked up 15rwhp from those mods without tuning, that would put him at 280rwhp if he were stock. Another Mach owner posted in the Mach section that he pulled 293/299 with high fow cats and weld in flowmasters. Like I said, it will be a good race judging by the OP's ETs, but only from a dig. The Mach will pull him up top.

if your on the giggle gas, you stomp his ass. if your not and he can drive, flip a quarter......there are a bunch of guys around here that dont know **** about cars, but they can drive the piss outta a car.

271 rwhp on a mustang dyno is like 285-290 on a regular dyno jet...mustang dyno #'s are lower
I was well aware of that.

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''''''re fast.

That's not a cool thing to say man. Very narrow-minded statement. Is the based on the sole fact that you know a couple of bad Mach Drivers? Just wondering..

yup...i believe i'm number 8 on that list...
i dont think stock tires would help in getting to the 11's man...
stock MOTOR....i'll tell ya my bolt ons for power: pulleys, cold air kit, headers, full exhaust, sct tune....that equals to 313 rwhp
full suspension + good driver + MINOR weight reduction = 11.93 @ 114 mph
no im saying that the car isnt bone stock, stock is the way it comes from the factory IE tires engine tune, suspension. not pulley's, cai,headers and all that other crap. there is no mach 1 from the factory running under 12.5 STOCK, and i think thats a stretch too.
number 45 on the list, nice run 11.9

You never beat one credible LS1 ever.
The same cars you beat got beat by stock LT1's and Mustang GT's with 260whp. They all had issues be it high miles and low maintainance or a **** driver.
And you really should take a look at a F-Body beside a Mustang or on a scale. There the same size and almost the same weight.

yeah like 100lbs or less diffrence, i just ignored his gt beating an fbody, but what do you consider credible, if its an ls1 its still and ls1 regardless of what beats it, how well the driver/owner kept it up makes a diffnrece, but no in the outcome of his race

You can butter it up all you want, but it's still a B.S. statement. How someone can sterotype an entire group of car owners is beyond me.
