You can take a group of people with Mach1s and Camaro LS1s and some Machs will win and some LS1s will win. Same can be said in a 370Z vs LS1. Not everyone is the best driver in the world and not every car is equal stock for stock. Sure on a GM site with everything being equal the LS1 will win 10 times out of 10.

i must've ran poor representations of a mach car. the only good races i've had with n/a mustangs were...well, i haven't.

i did roll race a auto h/c 347 car, but it only trapped 111 so i figured he was full of **** or had no idea how to drive. he claimed to run 11.90s. i told him i ran 13.3s and he told me to ge the **** out hahaha.

All this 370z = LS1 talk is nonsense Dont let the 370Z guys fool you. They BS just as much as the 350z owners do. Go tell a 350z owner in stock form their not fast and see how defensive they get. "HR 350z's are low 13 second cars"....ok

M6 LS1 > A4 LS1 > 370z

Nice race, I've been wanting to run a 370z myself, but I don't see many around here for some reason.

We're you racing? not in Nismo version but I started pulling a 370Z in my HHR SS. Maybe he's got more than just that mod.

So... you're saying that no stock HR 350Z has ever run a low 13? I'm not saying that they all are low 13s cars, because that would be as ridiculous as you saying that none of them can.

buddy had a new M6 370z a while ago, don't get me wrong its a fun little car that can handle really well. out of the box its a performer but IMO its a waste of money to buy just bolt-ons for it. FI FTW in that case. he claimed he raced and has beaten a LS1 camaro/6.1 challenger and lost to a LS1 corvette/STI w/ 28lbs~ boost. he ended up trading it in for a 2011 5.3 silverado

There is a black 370z here in Maryland that runs 13.2-13.3@106-107.
A catback and sticky tires got him there. That is the quickest one I have seen so far.

Gee, that is funny you said that becuase I was going to say the same thing about LS1 cars...funny how everyone's interpretation is different.

Am I the only one not surprised it was a close race? The 370Z and LS1 are very evenly matched in stock form.

The 370's weigh 300-400 lbs less than an F-body. The mid 2000's models have right around 300HP. They run 0-60 in high 4's or low 5's. 1/4 mile in low 13's.

The new 370's have 332HP, run 0-60 in 4.5 and the 1/4 mile in high 12's, that's average times. A new 370Z would tear up a stock LS1.

And yeah, as an owner of an A4 I know if you nail it anywhere between 40MPH and 50MPH you're going to be slow as *****, I'm actually surprised you caught up. If you had nailed it at 38MPH, the whole car would lift up, nose and everything.

machs run alrightish

when my car was bone stock i was bumper to bumper with a mach1 with cold air and an x pipe. now i havent seen a mach1 worth taking a second look at FORD OHC motors are a joke and should be thought of as such. the only thing ford did half *** right was the 03-04 cobra which they ruined by putting in IRS those cars would be worthless if a solid axle wasnt a direct swap. pretty bad they gotta have more valves, more cams, better flowing heads, rev higher, and have a blower to barely outrun an ls1

And an LS1 just needs over a liter more displacement. They are two different engines with two different sets of advantages. If Chevy was told they had to go down to a 4.6L motor instead of a 5.7L, do you think the LS1 would perform nearly as well against a SOHC GT, forget about the DOHC cars. And for comparison look up what a 5.4L Cobra R's (N/A) 1/4 times are. They are rare to find because they are meant for the twisties, but the lowest has been a 12.51 stock.
