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!

Again, you do not understand what corrected numbers are. It was said my calculated numbers were a 12.09 which is basically a 12.1. So given everything went well I more than likely would have been in the 12.2 or 12.1 range, MAYBE. Have I lost you yet?
You claim that you wish me luck with it but I've yet to hear a "good run" from you so I have to call
on that claim from you. Not that I care and infact I like the fact that my car hurts your feelings.
So lets go over this...
You are putting my Mach 1 with
O/R X pipe, catback, shifter, RAI, gears, and 8.5" wide tires on a 28 spline stock diff
again a LS1 with your magic touch and
spec x trim clutch, ls6 hiho ported intake, ported tb, 3.73s , underdrive pulley, ory, slp lid, granatelli mass air, ram air, and 275 drag radials
And you are upset because I got one clean run in but with a short shift and still ran 7.76 which is less than a tenth away from a more modded/by you LS1. Yea....I'd say you mad.

Not me. I like my car to accelerate after the holeshot. Something about that raw pull once you get moving. The only reason I even bought a rear for my car is the ls7. I'm not sure the 10bolt would hold up at all behind it.
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.

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.

No one attacked you until you benched raced your way to a 11.96. Besides you said you were gonna be on a dr. You knew w/o maximum traction it was not gonna perform.

Hio is really mad that Mach Won went low 12s with just a few bolt-ons.
Doesn't matter how much "mph" your car makes if you can't take advantage of it and put it to the ground.

The only time I've been to the track EVER got 13.3s at 108. I don't race on the track, my car isn't a track car. I am looking to get a set of cheap drag radials and see what the 10 bolt will do, however. And I'm not driving all the way out there to run my street car at an 1/8 mile track.

I would hope that run wasn't made with the mods currently in your sig. You would be embarrassing the MPH argument guys

I expect you to start letting out @ the 1000' mark since mph don't matter.
Not everyone wants a drag car. Not everyone wants to ride on pos bias tires either. Then you need a complete set of wheels for them since your not suppose to run a radial on the front with a bias on the rear.
