I actually think he was agreeing with you. He was being slightly derogatory, but agreeing with you nonetheless. Of course a geared/tire Mach 1 is a match for a stock LS1. It's more than a match in my opinion.

I was agreeing with him.

Too many people want to argue opinions instead of facts. Refuse to accept proven, repeatable test data and fail to provide real unbiased proof to support their statements. Peoples track slips are not an accurate way to gauge a cars performance. Too many liars about mods/weight. To many uncontrollable track condition variables. The only way to even the playing field between two cars at different locations would to be to DA correct the times. Even then it doesn't take in consideration the track prep. But it is closer.

Average track times really shouldn't be used without knowing all facts. IMO, a "best" run of a certain car, can show what it can do with perfect launch in perfect weather. I'm pretty sure an SRT8 is 12.5, an LS2 GTO is 12.6, C5 is 12.6, not sure on the Mach1???

ANY mustang, pre 11`, with the exception of the 03/04 cobra, was a waste of fuel. There are people on the GTO sites that bought a 13` GT500 and REFUSE to go to svtp or any other site because of people like you. Is this what gets your rocks off, arguing about cars on a swebsite that has absolutley nothing to do with you? Do you really have no life, that EVERY single thread thats posted you come in with both nuts in your mouth, barley able to type the same tired *** **** in the new thread, that you just did in the last? Jesus christ, this is why i will never own a mustang.
Waste of fuel? Lol what do you think your.ls1 goat is? Slowest ls1?

Absolutely
Why not?? Every car has a hero run. Hero runs are more accurate then saying, "Hey, I ran 12.8 at 111 with bolt-ons" and the other guy "hey I ran 12.6 with bolt-ons". No one knows 60', DA, what track, what track prep, amount of fuel, cool down time, etc etc. At least we all know hero runs were done in great air, good track prep, great 60', probably low fuel, and if documented, then hopefully it's true OEM weight.

Not sure, only reason I say this was because on another forum I'm on, a guy with a C5 said he was the quickest completely stock at 12.6. I think that's a believable time based solely on the LS2 GTO best stock time.

To me, the SRT8 stock time, does seem awfully low, but if it has happened, then it has happened.

I know it was a 300C SRT8. I know the C5, LS2 GTO, and SRT8 are usually driver's races, so the times seem believable to me.

Well, i'm not 100% sure everyone submits for the list, however, I can't prove otherwise LMAO. What's the best stock time for an SRT8, isn't it 12.5 with a 300 SRT??

C5>gto>300
For straight line racing: C5>then the other two, curves: C5 >then both, comfort: both better then C5, interior: both better then C5, practicality: both better then C5

I have a lot of friends with srt cars and even one with a 300 srt8 it doesn't even get out of the 13s. How they going to push the automatic to run almost a second quicker?

I'm saying HERO runs lol. This is not the average. Hell, you want to average a GTO? Guarantee most run mid 13's, with a good amount running 14's (in M6 cars). Hero runs take all variables out. Had to be a perfect launch, perfect day, perfect weight. However, the one variable, even for hero runs, is tail wind, something a lot won't mention they "may" have had during their run.

SRT8's rated at bottom 13's
GTO's rated at bottom 13's
C5's don't know rating.
Mach's rated high 13's

Hell, with my mods, I'm only running .1 faster then the fastest stock GTO. If you have 5 friends with SRT's, I would doubt any could get out of the 13's....Hero runs my friend...hero runs

I own both cars a 99 cobra and had many ls1 cars. They feel the same except the ls1 is easier to get out from under you and at 4th the ls1 seems to keep pulling better than the cobra. From what I hear Mach 1 run better
