Dyno & Bench Racing Forum - 02 z28 vs mach 1?

My friend is trying to set me up to race a mach1 a friend of his has. As far as i know all he has is a CAI and its a manual. The kid is still in school and mommy and daddy bought it for him. And highly doubt he's a good driver. Just wanted to get some opinions on what the outcome should be.

yes you are fool. i hope you get banned for this. lol. AND you will lose unless you let me drive. what you need to do is keep putting the race off till i get my engine in, then tell him you put a SS hood and spoiler on and run him in my car. now that would be hilarious. since our cars are the same color.

Assuming you can drive, you should walk pretty decently. Just be cautious... Those cars can be deadly to bolt on ls1 cars if they have Some radical gears and good bolt ons paired with a good driver. But if he truly has just an CAI, u should have the win np

I've personally taken down a bolt on LS1 from a roll in a Mach 1 with nothing but a shifter, midpipe, and catback at the time. From a dig it would have been much uglier IMO.

The Mach 1 I'm talking about ran 105.8mph with nothing but a catback. That was with me driving, never driven a Mach 1 on the track, and I was only able to get that one run in. Had I gotten a few more runs to get to know the car better I would have done quite a bit better I'm sure. I'm not the best driver in the world but I have figured out which pedal does what.
Oh and that run I did a 13.2. Nothing amazing and people have done better but that is right there with your average LS1 time... Just saying.

a 13.2 is very quick for a mach. it happens, but rarely. alot run more in the 13.5-13.6 range around 104-ish. why do you think when you look at videos of races between the two 9 times out of ten the ls1 wins--- because it's faster! sure the mach CAN win but chances are it wont. but it's close enough that if the ls1 driver fucks up he wont run it down by the end of the quarter.

I think its because more Ford owners have no idea how to drive and possibly the Mach 1 is harder to drive to its full potential? I know my 99 Cobra when it was stock was a bitch to get good times out of.

You can talk shit all you want about 99 Cobras but I know someone that had a stock one that ran 13.2. Do not ask me how and I called bullshit on his car being stock for a long time but it was. He went through transmissions left and right though. He is a member on SVTP and has a 03 Cobra now.
My 99 Cobra ran 13.5 stock. With 4.10s I got it to run 13.1. With a cai and 4.30s I got it to run 10.9. :D

Being that I have owned an ls1, mach1, and now an ls6 i'm pretty sure i can say that the mach will give ANY ls1 a hell of a race whether:
A. Stock vs Stock
B. Mod vs Mod
I personally ran 12.9 in my Mach at 107. I had offroad H, shifter, flowmasters, intake, and dynotune. 300hp/319 tq
Anyone who has driven both an LSX or a 4v will tell you the LS motor is soooooo much easier to drive and pull off good times.
Those of you claiming to have "spanked" mach1's either ran into automatics or crappy drivers...

It is a close race between a Mach 1 and an LS1 with the edge to the LS1 as speeds increase. How difficult is that to comprehend?

And yes, the 346ci ls1 is superior to a 281 4v, you don't need to be an einstein to understand this... but this doesn't nullify the FACT that a mach1 can beat an ls1.... Sorry bro to be the one to let you in on this secret, lol.

Yes I have been in a F-body lately. Was a black WS6 T/A. Thing rattled more than a baby's rattle. The gauges could barely be seen (that red color). I still liked the car because I knew it looked badass going down the road but to me a Mustang is just alot more comfortable. Now if we could just figure out how to make a Mustang fast we would have the best of both worlds. :P

This is so fucking retarded....seriously. Ignorant stubborn fool/s wont' believe otherwise. So be it. They're the idiots that have no real world experience or insight.
Apparently trap speeds are that matters and gearing/weight have nothing to do with it.

and just because you say they're as quick despite an ls1 is usually 1-2 tenths quicker in the 1\4 and traps higher doesnt make it true either
ONE or TWO TENTHS OF A SECOND in the 1/4 mile is basically the definition of a "driver's race." And I find it quite humorous how the guys with the stalled automatics are always talking about how dig races are the only races that count, and roll races are gay; but then you have people like yourself that put so much stock in a trapspeed that's 2-4mph higher :eyes:

IMO doesn't matter what you drive, dig races are the only ones that matter.. Period.
You beat me in a roll race.. Good for you.. I beat you in a dig, you are slower than I am.
I don't care if I get DRUG from a roll. That factors in NOTHING compared to what a dig consists of and it is the only true measure to see if someone can make a truly quick car. Otherwise you throw all the power in the world and go from whatever mph you can hook from. Trap speeds are easy to get, sixty foots are difficult.

Any race that YOU agree to race is a real race. We all would race a random car on the highway if they came up to us wanting to. You can't say that isn't a real race because he wouldn't slow down to a dead stop on I-95 and let you heat your tires up and go from a dig. There is alot of different racing in the world past drag racing. Trap speed shows how powerful a car is. ET shows how well a car works as a whole.

Who really cares? Both are equally nice IMO. Neither is clearly a better car in my book.
i think machs look great--- i actually like the look of them better than a cobra.

one or two tenth and 2-4 mph is alot. you know what a drivers race really is? a mach vs a mach or an ls1 vs an ls1. THAT is a drivers race--- two identical cars.
WHEN did i ever say that only trap speed matters? are you making things up to win an argument over things i didn't say? trap speed does play a role, and it is an indicator of the cars potential. but you need to drive it to a proper 60' time first.

A tenth is about a car length. That is light years if your racing for money.

Who races stock ~13.0-13.2s cars for money? In top fuel, yes a tenth is a large margin. When you're talking about two bone stock cars, it's very close.

A tenth is a large margin regardless of what class you race in. You'd be surprised how many 13 second cars bracket race and they are racing for money. When was the last time you went to the track? Not everyone that races every weekend drives a single digit car. A tenth is not close in my opinion but if you think it is then you are entitled to your opinion.
Irunelevens
11-14-2009, 11:04 PM
And that is my opinion... rather hard to get much closer. There are tons of people that go to the track in their own cars that can't get all of their runs to be within a tenth of a second of each other.

And there is plenty of 11 second cars that it takes months and quite a pretty penny to pick up a tenth or two.
Couple different ways of looking at it.

Try this one, pay particular attention to the two times the Mach 1 spanks the C5 'vette. I do believe they come with LS1's, and are somewhat lighter than a Mustang. And the few bolt on mods on the Mach 1 are only good for about 15-18rwhp, so it's still at a disadvantage to the mightly LS1.
