Default win some lose some...

took the mach out to the track friday just to get a few runs in.raced a newer gt and put about 4 cars on him.then lines up with a lt1 car that i am sure was stock and put about 4 on him.then raced a pewter ls1 ss.stayed ahead of him until the 1000 ft mark then he edged me by about a fender through the traps.he wouldnt tell me what he ran but told me he had difrent ypipe?no cats and gears and a couple other things i couldnt remmember.overall had a pretty good night but car wasnt running to great,had a head wind and i wasnt able to get it to 60ft as good as usual.

Sounds about right. He probably had a small amount of boltons. The LS1 topend was what got you, but I'm impressed that you stuck with him. The more I hear, the more I respect the Mach 1. Definitely a sick car

Whatd ya run against the SS?

actually could only muster a 13.5,with the headwind it was over 2mph slower and my 60ft's were a 10th off.last week it was running 13.30's.i should have went out on saturday because weather was much better and they prepped the track.

Start modding that thing roger. Mid to low 13's is a great starting point. You should hit 12's with no problem at all.

My buddy at work has a gunmetal gray Mach1....the best he could muster his first time at the track last December was a 13.9 @ 103. I'm trying to get him to go to Moroso with me this Wednesday. We still haven't run with each other yet...and I've had the car for a month now!

thanks guys,hey at first i was pretty disapointed in mine because all it would run was 13.70's on the first 2 outings.well i ended up dropping my shift points from 6600 to 6100 and it dropped almost half a second.2000ws6vert,recomend that to your friend.

unit....once i can drive this thing into the 13.0's i will start to modify it.i wont be doing to much just a gear change,tires and a few other things.just enough to make it run in the mid to low 12's.i am going to leave the exhaust alone.i love the quietness of the car.i drove around a loud low 11 second car to long

Always expect to run a couple 10ths slower when running at Moroso due to its poor track prep.

that's a very good idea. if i'd had a brand new car, i think that's what i'd do- wait until i could run it as low as possible while it was bone stock, and then start modding. good luck to you

A new one just popped up in my town not too long ago. Maybe I'll get to see what these things can do soon. BTW Roger those are some very nice numbers you've been putting out for a stock car. My guess is you're decent driver as is. Good luck to you on the 13 flats.
