Default Anyone run a Mach-1 ?

How does a stock LS1 fair vs a Mach 1 with 4:10 gears? I hear they run 13.2's stock and 12.7-12.9 with just gears and cai.

Is a driver race .But a stock mach doesn't run 13.2 or high 12's with gears only
I ran a stock Mach I'm A4 when my car was stock I bet him 3 car length's
Raced twice once from a dig and once on a 55 roll
He didn't believe i was stock auto

Just stickies and gears will shave .3-.6 tenths off any car.

Oh really? Would you like to put some money on that?

Third run after taking delivery of the car. Dealership stock, right down to the paper filter and 245/45/17 Goodyear Beagles

I fail to see a kill/death in this thread though.

There was a 100 percent stock Mach1 that got a 12.9 with Paul from PHP driving the car.

I am of the opinion that the LS1 has a slight 1/4 mile advantage over the Mach 1 (especially 01 & 02 versions), but the difference is well within a driver's ability to make up.

Last Sunday I drove about 5 miles side be side with one in light traffic and I teased him a couple times and he wouldn't go.

The problem is the 4.10s on street tires......they'll spin all day, unless he knows what he is doing. and YES....they can/do run high 12s with just gears alone.
