Default Mach 1 takes out LS1

Well was driving the g/f's bolt on Mach and we came across a LS1 Z28 with exhaust and who knows what else. He was sitting all alone at the redlight so I rolled up next to him and give it a rev. He revs back and we wait for the green. I see the yellow light in the other lane so I bring the revs up and when it goes green I launch decent but he didn't go. We are going around 40-50mph and he comes along side me and jumps. So the big baby wanted his race. So I gave it to him. I was in 3rd gear at about 4,000rpms and we take off. Her car was a slug at that low of rpms but it was enough to keep along side of him. We took it up to about 135mph in 4th gear she said and I had about half a carlength on him. Had I been at a better rpm or from a dead stop it would have been a carlength or a few. Her car has O/R H pipe, MGW shifter, MAC catback, and JLT RAI. Her car needs gears and a tune!!!!!

So just a couple of bolt-ons on a mach 1 will outrun an ls1 with the same mods? Or maybe you had more mods than him. I know that stock for stock the ls1 should be faster, but good kill anyway.

Actually, it's a driver's race stock for stock. That doesn't really apply for
Mach 1's with an automatic trans though.

Good kill on the LS1.

I'd have loved it if he ran me from the redlight or from a high 2nd gear roll. Wouldn't have been much of a contest. His car sounded decent tho. Funny thing is not 10 minutes before we were cruising around in my Cobra. We ran up on a group of 3 03-04 Cobra verts with a bunch of kids driving but none of them wanted any. Still when I left I showed them my lack of traction through 3rd gear with my 17" wheels on and the drag radials. Later I heated them up though because the g/f wanted to see what my car had and I punched it from a 2nd gear roll. Sombitch rolls OUT! I had forgotten what power felt like. She admitted that my car scared her and made her Mach feel slow. Now she wants a whipple or a 100 shot but doesn't like the idea of nitrous she says.
