Forgetting to turn off the traction control on the first run resulted in a time-killing bog when the rear tires spun on the first-to-second shift, although we were impressed the car still managed a 13.81 at 102.40. With the traction control off on the next pass, the Mach 1 responded with a 13.54 at 103.14. We've heard about other Mach 1s dipping into the 13.20s with more experienced drivers.)

Earlier in this thread, there were arguments where Mach drivers were claiming the typical runs were in the 12s. Contrary to popular belief, the SRTs are not easy to launch especially the autos. At least the manuals can feather out the clutch. The autos will just pour the power on. They simply have more torque than tire to support getting the weight moving. I feel like I’m on my old YZ250 two stroke when I’m driving. Not enough revs and it barely moves. Yet when it is in its power band on the launch, it immediately spins or starts to step out but still doesn’t move. LOL

It's going to come down to what you prefer this is the real world and I'm sure going to be different outcomes on both win or lose but both cars are average 13sec cars either way you look at it.

Absolutely. Close race from a dig, advantage to LS1 as speeds increase.

Very slight advantage. lol Once the tires go on the Mach its a different story. The stock 8.8 allows for some pretty brutal launches.

Meh..both motors have went into the 6's. Besides, were talking high 13-sec *stock* Mach's here not all out drag cars.

Although I did hear a Mach can run in the 9's with just a gear swap and power-shifting past redline!
