Im sure every person on here that owns an LS1 f-body would benefit from gears, suspension, slick and being able to dump there clutch at redline. Anyone can do that with a rear, im more concerned about power and MPH. I rather swap a rear then an engine.
Id hope youd take ET over MPH, if not you'd bought the wrong car for that.

So let's go mod for mod (because that isn't bench racing apparently) and say they both have Ford 9"s as an upgrade.
What happens now?

You're bench racing the 1/4, so why can't we bench race rear ends? A 10 bolt can hold up on an automatic car and some have held them up on manual cars. So it is possible.

We all know MPH with the right 60 foot will equal a certain ET, with that being said with the right 60 foot a stock f-body would be able to ET what your car would ET if not more. Mod for mod lets not even go there, cause it would be worse for you.
Im not trying to discredit you btw, your car does exactly what you want it to. But making a bold statement like you said on an LSx site is not going to get positive feedback.

At the second bolded part, because ET wins at the 1/4 strip. No point in comparing mph when the ET takes the win in this certain arena

Not sure on the Mach but my manual says the cobra weighed 3415. I'd suspect the Mach a cvnt hair heavier.
To the other argument. You either get to a ET by either traction or MPH. An ET is an ET. For me I like going fast with as little power as I can. Within the first 330' there is a lot goin on in the cabin. Its always exciting. lol.
On good traction days my lower back is sore from it being slammed into the non padded racing seat. I fuggin love it!

I'm just about willing to bet money that Kevin's car won't e.t like it did at Mooresville when he goes to Z-Max. My thinking is that Mooresville is a much better hooking track than Z-Max.

Because your car doesn't make power and it sure as hell doesn't MPH enough. You had to mod your car and add a **** load of gear to be able to come up with a 108 MPH trap. My buddy went 107 in a bone stock 02 fully optioned SS. I think Hio went 108 stock or something.
We all know MPH with the right 60 foot will equal a certain ET, with that being said with the right 60 foot a stock f-body would be able to ET what your car would ET if not more. Mod for mod lets not even go there, cause it would be worse for you.

That is all anyone has to say against my car, ever. Fact is I had 2 seized calipers but no one cares to mention that. At the end you run what you run and that is why I don't always bring it up. Doesn't change the fact that it only trapped that. Also look at the car I was running. A 340rwhp LS1 that trapped 110mph. 
And if you knew anything about a Mach 1's powerband it doesn't make power up top so in the 1/4 as far as MPH goes, my 4.56s are actually hurting me not helping me.

Yes the car MPHed 108. That is all anyone has to say against my car, ever. Fact is I had 2 seized calipers but no one cares to mention that.

I don't care to know anything about mach's, im not preaching LSx on a ford site, or vise versa. Like you are. All ive learned from what you guys tell me on here is they need gear.
Again. Your statement about never seeing an LS1 f-body ET what you ET mod for mod is a bland tasteless thing to be proud of. Its like me saying "yeah bro i have yet to see a mach 1 with cloth seats and chrome stocks and a hatchback do what my car does". Lol okay?

Just like the only thing you mention to anyone on here like automach or hio or notch is about how bad there cars ET. Dude Notchs car made 340 and traped 116 so? Its safe to say dyno numbers don't tell the whole story.
