I guess that settles that then...Bench Racer. J/K.

 

I raced a S/C Mach 1 at the track. He ran a 7.71@91.7 to my 7.51@91.6 me being N/A, H/C,FAST,12 bolt,stalled car. I saw he had longtubes and full exhaust.

 

Ok you got me too, I get riled up almost as fast as confuzed. Too bad I couldn't live farther away, otherwise I would give your rag a run for the money. By the way I like LS-1's also but it would have to be in a TA them catfish are ugggly.

 

I ran a H/C/I Camaro on bigs and skinnies. I shut it down after 3 seconds that thing ran away from me.

 

i raced a stock one when i had full exhaust and stock tires. i beat him 2/3 times if i remember right by about 2 cars.

i'd say stock for stock is damn close, which isn't very good considering the ls1 is probably half the price

 

Mines a TA. I like TA's better than Camaros too. I won't go so far as to call the Camaro ugly though.

 

2002 Z28 ~23,000
2003 Mach ~29,000

 

I take it that was when they were new? I would guess that now it would be more like:

2002 Z28~10,000 (high even for modded ls1)
2003 Mach~19,000?

 

Nice guys keep em coming. All very interesting stories. The guy I race from 45 to 90 isn't a very good driver. He pulled like a 14.5 with his m5 mach and I was running 14.0 with my m6 vert. I couldn't get the dam thing off the line with out bogging and spinning hard. It was frustrating although I didn't expect that from it. I guess I got used to my fox notch too much.

 

OH great....here we go.

I personally, don't see 02 LS1s for as low as you are indicating. $10k for a modded Z is a decent price around here. Machs are all over the board. On the registry, I'd say selling prices are avg $15k.


EDIT: well...ok..not modded, but here's a quick example. http://fresno.craigslist.org/cto/841017436.html

 

well i gave 9.5 for mine and that was a couple years ago...can't argue with the fact the mach 1 is about 2x the price man

 

he said they were granitelli coils my bad,been a while back scince that race.

 

waste of money

 

Umm not so. I paid 15000 for mine a year ago with 13000 original miles. I've seen a few for 10000-12000.

 

This is a perfect thread for Bench Racing.


Btw, I've seen low milage 02 SS's/WS6's for $17K+ still. I sold mine for $16K 5 months ago.

 

convertible z28's were 29,000 also though. and the mach is newer...almost all newer cars get pricier.

and like stated above ^^ there are many t/a's selling for around the same as a mach...

me and my buddy looked at two ws6's. one was 18K and one was 16K.

 

I just bought mine with 36k original miles for $12.5k Stock m6 with R6 kit.
Someone open a ls1 vs evo/wrx forum too.

 

+1

UM NO......see below. apparently you aren't up to speed on prices of machs. Priced higher, yes....2x, not even close.

 

Ran one at the track with bolt ons and a 150 shot. I had him on the start then he hit the baby bottle when he shifted into 2nd and went by me in a wheelie.

me--him

60' 1.97--2.07
1/8 7.98--8.05
1/4 12.40--12.16
mph 112.3--121.1

 

I havent had the chance to run a mach yet, but my buddy has a 03, that i plan on trying out sometime soon in my ws6 both autos so it should be fun
