He should be least 300lbs lighter. We will see what happens. Buddy with a gto is telling him trying to set something up.

Fayettenam, I have been there a couple of times when it had crazy negative DA and cars were running 3 tenths faster than their best times.

Titter, haters gonna hate man. Damn good running car. I have an auto 01 SS with just a lid, no cats, and a dealer installed 3" SLP catback. It's an auto with a Yank 2800 and 3.23s. I have plenty of friends here in AL who have been witness to me pulling cars that most think a stock LS1 auto shouldnt; including 2 new 5.0s from a roll(wish i could get a dig with one lol). I made 355whp/390wtq on a loaded Dynocom.

Yeah I'm jealous of the track and conditions he gets to run in.... car just went 12.2 @ 114 with LTs and 3.73s added to his mod list. Track here needs to open .. May is so far away.

I hope so! Right now I'm looking at a new clutch since mine has started to slip lately. I would like to go to Zmax next weekend and run it since a group of Mach 1 guys are getting together there but I don't want to push my luck. It's a pain in the *** trying to figure out which clutch I want to run too! Got a couple things to change (tires mainly) and I need rear back wheels. I bought a full set with tires Saturday and they are up for sale today. But hopefully I can turn a profit. Other than that...I did have those 2 locked up calipers I'm wondering if they were slowing me down or not. Also I raised the nose of the shaker up more for more shaker power. Went with thinner oil... Just little **** here and there.

I had one but sold it. I don't want to give the LS1 boys the option to throw out the "Well it has boost" whine card.

Are you going back to the track soon? I am interested in is seeing what you run this time. You MACH runs pretty good considering your mods.

Sepno and me were going to go to Zmax this coming weekend if he had the day off. Not sure if he does or not. Like I said, I don't want to beat on the stock slipping clutch anymore. Should be back to the track sometime soon. Just need $$$ for these things I want. I still would like a Gopro to put on the car next time.

Would be nice to have a GoPro...regardless, a vid like your last race works just as good.
I am not sure how close you are to Fayetteville,NC but if you ever head this way instead of Zmax..hit me up and I will meet you guys there..

I had a 2003 Mach 1 and I LOVED it. Even tho I also LOVE the SS, I still miss the Mach. It was a blast to drive and, with the magnaflow OR xpipe and magnapack catback, it was the best sounding car I think I've ever heard. Other than the exhaust, it just had a C&L CAI and custom tune from Lee at C&L. The car was freakishly strong and ran a 12.8 @ 109 with a 1.85 60'.

Yea you can't go wrong either way. I've always had and always will have a soft spot for a LS1 SS. Absolutely timless looks!

Funny..before the MACH, I had a 2001 Z28. T-Tops, Royal Blue Metalic, M6. I had a blast with that car and loved it. The car responded so well to every bolt-on I threw on there. Never took it to the track though.. just street raced it. It was tough to part with it I will admit but I have went back and forth between GM and Ford many times before so I was OK with it. We will see what GM comes out with next to catch my eye.

Yea..wish I was closer to Zmax but I am in the Raleigh area about 3 hours away..

3 hours, 4.10s and $4.00 a gallon make for an expensive day.
I have to make due with the tracks in this area..many of them being 1/8 mile unless I go to Fayetteville or Rockingham.

Oh well...good luck at the track after you get your clutch and tires and make sure you post up a vid..
