Pewter- '99 Z28 M6
99 Z28 vs. 03-04 Mach 1
This guy named Jimmy I went to high school with owns a red mach 1 now, and I had been trying to get him to race me for a couple months now. I was cruising through town Sunday afternoon, and he was heading out on a four lane road, so I pulled up beside him about 40 mph, he looks at me, then punches it. I do the same, and by the top of third I had two car lengths on him, I shifted it to fourth and he continued to lose ground. I let off about 100 or so, and he was more than a bus length back. LEFT HIS ASS. I thought those mach 1's ran harder than that?
It was stock though, vs. a modified LS1. Altogether, an UNSATISFYING KILL. Need to race one with a supercharger, especially since the TSP PRC LS6 heads should be arriving any day now to complement the cam!Heads 'n Cammed, Moser 12, 3.73's, Weight Reduction, 13" Brembo Kit
BMR track suspension, full exhaust, the works...
412whp/394wtq 1/4 mile slip coming soon!

you should have killed him more with your mods, what are his mods actually?

Torrid Red- 05 GTO
Im thinkin dude didnt know how to drive. I had a Mach and it was a hard car to beat, I got my ass handed to me by a Cobra (understandably), but it should have been closer than that.

Mach 1's are actually pretty damn close to LS1 F-Bodys in terms of performance. I'd still give the edge to the LS1, but it should be close.
Obviously the author has mods, so that tilts the tables a lot

Would the 4:10 gears have a detrimental effect in 4th gear?

Machs dyno stock around 275-285. You have 375 at the wheels, i hope that you killed him! About the same a stock ls1. I will run you if you would like, we a re kinda close(in location), you will win with more power, i only dynoed at 316 hp and 340 ftlbs! I out run my buddies ta with simular mods to mine at the track. We have yet to do it from a roll though. Oh and when you get the heads and cam i will hopefully have a 100 or 125 shot of nitrous!

You need a cam and full exhaust ASAP. Gears would be nice also, something tells me those GTO's need nothing less than 4.10's, if you got a stick. You will have something for his ass next time.

Blue- 2005 Corvette Z51
I didn't get a chance ever to race one in my 2000 SS (stock), but I ran one on the interstate from ~60mph in my 2005 C6 Z51 and all I could hear was his engine roar for as he downshifted and I left him like he was chained to the ground! LOL
