Neither have we before this...first time for everything I guess, lol.
I've seen a few vids of bolt on mach 1's getting beat pretty good by stock or mildly modded GTO's. This one just didn't perform like we thought it would though with the eaton. Maybe with a better driver it would have been closer, but I don't know if the mach 1 had the steam to out pull the GTO. Every race it seemed like right at the peak of it's powerband, it would gain some ground, but then he'd shift and the GTO would have so much more mid range pull.
BTW, we found out the mach 1 made 416/367 on a dynojet. And the kid thinks it weighs in the 3600 lbs range. Plus, they don't call them "heaton's" for nothing. Like I said, don't think the mach would have beaten the GTO regardless of driver.

it kind of looked like the mach was starting to pull back at the top of that gear...was that 3rd? so you guys were going what 105ish? i think had you ran it out he would've caught you. either way, good kill with a stock car vs a(nother) v8 that had positive manifold pressure haha.

LMAO...yea, everyone comments about how quiet the GTO is and how it sounds like a hybrid. Kind of the point though when you want to keep the stock exhaust on. Couldn't even hear the GTO chirp 3rd gear over the blower whine on the mach!

So he slaps a supercharger on a mach1 and doesn't dyno it, so he hasn't tuned it?? No wonder he lost the race. Some people should just stick to watching the speed channel. Good kill.

Regardless, the better running car won no matter how you look at it. All the "should have", "would have" or "could have" does not change the facts.
Good run OP and way to shut him up!

Agreed...very poor display of performace for the MACH. Knowing that the car was not dyno'ed and possibly not tuned, why would he talk smack in the first place? In my opinion, he was just setting himself up to look foolish...and he did after that beat down.

I listed it above a few posts but you must have missed it. Found out he did in fact have it tuned on a dyno. Car made 416/367 on a dynojet. Him and all his buddies are scratching thier heads wondering WTF happened. IDK...All I can tell you is that we raced a few times and this was the general result every time. I'm sure he could benefit from the driver mod too.
See above for the most part. Like I said, not sure what happened because even in gear he wasn't pulling much on the GTO in any of the runs. He even told us after the runs that he needs to learn to shift like my brother, lol. But thanks for the props man...always nice to leave someone scratching thier head after they were so sure they had it in the bag.

A Mach 1 cant lose to a GTO sorry...
according to SVTP close to stock Mach 1's have the advantage over LS2 GTOs
bolt ons only they run low 12's
With Cams they trap 120 in the 1/4 full weight....
but then lose to bolt on C5 Z06's
