Stock for stock both with equal drivers you'll win up top. He'll inch out on you out of the hole, those cars love to be launched. Around 60 you will have made up what ever small lead he pulled on the launch, and by 90 you'll be putting ground down in your favor. Their cars pull hard down low, ares pull harder up top.

I honestly think the skill of the driver and the speed at which you race plays a huge part when racing a mach.
Good luck

ok well ive been going back and forth looking over dyno's and timeslips betwwen 02 ls1's and mach 1's and most 02's put down 320 hp 315 tq and the machs put down 290hp 300tq and i mean the ls1 is heavier by 100 or so pounds but id give the edge to the ls1 by a car from what im looking at

Yah cause my friend told me that a WS6 and a Mach is a close race giving the edge more towards the WS6 though, but that because my Firehawk is a little bit lighter than a WS6 and has a bit more power, that i should be able to put about a car and half on him, but thats him speaking do i dont know, guess im just going to have to race one.

Your about right on, on the hp and tq numbers.. Mine put down 289rwhp and 311rwtq bone stock.. The LS1's weight about 200lbs + more then the Machs and that plays a big part in racing..

RWHP/RWTQ, gearing (both rear & trans), available traction, weight & driving skill (or lack thereof) all come into play.
If racing was as simple as "My dyno sheet is better than yours", then everyone would just stay home & compare dyno runs to determine who's faster.
