Default Mach 1 WASTED!!!

I was cruisin with my buddy in the car going north on Rt. 83 just north of IL-64. A grey mach 1 pulled out in front of me and took off so i thought i'd catch up and see if he wants to play. We ended up catching a light so he revs his engine and i look over, smile and rev mine back. He must not have known what a big *** cam sounds like cuz as soon as it turned green he took off and the look on his face when i blew by him in the first few feet was hilarious. I slowed down to let him catch up and he rolled the window down and asked if we could go from a roll cuz then it would be closer. So we went from a 40 roll and i let him have a car before i punched it. I walked him like he was standing still. He turned off of 83 right after that. I also saw two C5 ZO6's that same day but neither one of the old guys driving them wanted to play. I'm goin for a cruise tonight...and I've got a taste for some rice. hahaha

Good kill. It would take an extremely well modded Mach1 to keep up with your current setup.

Nice kill, I have actually convinced a couple of ricers that the lopey-just-barely-stay-running idle in my built 440 cuda was just a poor running engine that needed a tune-up.

Yes it would....I have only got to run one H/C LS-1 he had 3:90 gears and put down 440 rwhp.....we did a 40 roll and going into 4th I had 2-3 cars and was pulling hard when I snapped my input shaft. He actaully post on here Linn.35 is his name. Nice kill though man the guy had to be an idiot to not know your car was cammed.

Mach 1's CAN be nasty as hell............just as easy as our cars.

From what I hear the the Mach 1 motors are comparable to LS1's. BUT I have only seen one run good times....

My thoughts exactly.

Good kill to the thread-starter. Hopefully the encounter will encourage that Mach to get some mods of his own now...

Good kill! Some people need to pay closer attention to what they're up against. Sometimes it's better to decline a run than to be humiliated LOL!
