Nothing 28" slicks on another pair of wheels won't fix.

Nice to see someone who has a little knowledge of these cars...

Also, I am a part of Mach1registry (Styles), it pays to know the opponent.......... LOL. I know about your car and I know it is legit, and I also know that you are a striaght up guy with nothing held back. The lack of knowlegde is really shown in this thread. I am a die-hard fan of the LSx, but I am not biased and I am not afraid to point out facts.

I set my personal ET goals based on not only what other N/A Mach's & Cobras have done (or are doing) but also F-Bodies, Corvettes & GTO's.
I'm also not a big fan of "absolutes" (ie; car X can never do this or it's impossible to do that), as the absolute statements are usually not based on fact but opinion.

This rpm resulted in 24 - 25 mpg when my Mach was heavier than stock weight w/aftermarket rear wheels/tires.

Wow... I don't even know where to start... just read the original thread from SVTperformance for any additional info you're looking for and if you still call BS, please post afterwards.
http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...d.php?t=383580
FYI, The red TA, while cutting awesome 1.49 60's and lifting the wheels like so with an entire drag suspension, it only trapped 113 MPH. Shouldn't be too hard to believe I beat it from a roll. The black TA is my girlfriend's. Her best ET is 11.74, but her best MPH is only 115 MPH. That shouldn't be too hard to believe I beat her street tire vs. street tire when you take away her 1.5 60's she gets on the M/T's. The TT Z28, I still scratch my head about. I thought I was racing a V6 Camaro with twins until he popped his hood afterwards. The Cobalt traps around 112 MPH and is the fastest Cobalt I've ever seen, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my gas. My car has never been sprayed yet. It blew a head gasket while testing the window switch with an empty bottle and it has been at SGS performance ever since then.
Btw, Angus, 03AV8R and JTCobra on the Mach 1 registry all run 11.3's or better on the bone stock motor, naturally aspirated. They know how to make the best out of their cars and my hats off to them cause they're kicking my built motor car's ***.
I know cammed LS1's can make some serious power and I'm SURE there are plenty on this site that will smoke me, but I really hope the guys in this thread that are bolt-on only don't actually believe they could take me on the highway...

Those Mach 1' s launch pretty d'mn hard off the line, I am glad I never came across one from a dig in my wheel hopping fool of a Cobra 
And those are some d'mn good N/A #'s, I guess the little 4.6 isn't that shitty of a motor after all
You know hearing about cars that trap less than mine ET'ing alot better on the same or heavier weight gets to me. I wasn't planning on drag racing but I am curious to what it will run with the built tranny and stall.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/member.php?u=87276 is a member of this site and my girlfriend. She is the second TA I raced. Feel free to check her profile.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/member.php?u=34727 is another F-body I raced and is the only LS1 to date to pull on me on the highway. I'm sure he'd be able to verify most of these kills.

The steep 3.38 1st gear of the 3650 (vs 2.66 in the Cobra 6-speed) has more affect on street manners by far.

Btw, with the stock motor I was still getting well over 25 MPG highway with 4.30's.

The announcer's reaction is great. On the one solo pass I made, watch how badly I bogged. This was the first night I was having the clutch problems. I was getting a lot more MPH, but a lot crappier ET's.
I'm hoping with the C4, my MPH and ET will match up a little better!
