For $5,000 dollars I beat 90 % of the cars for 9% at a cost of $25,000 dollars real bargin...........You must be driving a Mach 1

Actually I don't like Mach 1's very much.

You're satisfied with only 90% huh? No thanks. It can never be 100%...99% is nice though.

Right on

How about this Mach 1:










Mods cost nowhere near the $30K you speak of.

I have my sights set on a LS7. Stage 3 heads and a 150 shot to boot.

I've seen that car in person here in DFW at a Local track when we were having a Mach1 GTG.. Its very nice and he really doesn't have too much invested in that car for all parts that is in it.. He got some very good deals on all the parts and labor..

As for the Machs that were running slow times I'll say bad drivers.. Mine ran 13.3's-13.4's stock.. I ran a few 12.2 with just an O/R X pipe, Magnaflow catback, built rearend with 4.10's, 17" ET Streets, and a little weight reduction.. I haven't been back to the track since I installed my headers, JLT RAI, and had it tuned.. So hopefully I'll be in the 11's N/A once I get back to the track..

Yeah nothing like a 427......

I liked the Mach I since it came out. All the problems I had with my 03 Cobra left
a bad taste in my mouth when it comes for Fords. But I am sure some guys got
some decent running Mach's and Cobras. The blue Mach is really sharp. The
Turbo'd one is likely quite a beast. As for the comments about spending 30K on
mods. Hell if this is your hobby, its a free country ... spend all you want.

I've never been real big on Mach 1's, but that one I actually like. I guess it's just those stock wheels that kill it for me. Plus that turbo helps too.

Those look like a set of American Racing wheels to me? Def. do not look stock to me.

All I have to say is look at the Mecham vs Supra vid. He makes 700 or so horsepower and will kill 99.9% of cars on the road. A TT on an LS1 is as deadly as a Supra!!

The engine is twice as big, so it should be with FI!

There's a mach 1(manual) down here at the 1/8 mile track, and he runs 8.30s-8.40's, which would transfer to low 13s??? 13s are pretty impressive in my book, for a stock car.

Nocturnal SS

In good weather a stock Mach 1 will run about 13.3 In good weather 2001to 2002 LS1 will run 12.9

I worked at Ford and would actuall y bring my buddy in to drive for a laugh a GT. Wow, how do they sell em. Mach 1 little better through first at least, an LS1 pulls noticably stronger. Then a yeaor old red 03 Cobra that we could'nt give it away. $28,280 for a NEW 03 Cobra, could'nt sell em. Two of em. One inside one out on the lot. My sister drove it and it was a little stronger than a warmed up LS1 but nothing to write home about since it had a S/C. GT and Mach 1 were silly slow. I love mustangs but what has happened since 1994 .

I like them a whole lot more than the GT's. Any car with a lot of money put in it can have a but load of hp.

unit213

Well...let's see. Ford created the most potent and feared Mustang in the history of the world. A Mustang with an iron block and forged internals capable of producing 1,000hp on a bone stock motor. A Mustang that has run 12.43 @ 113mph bone stock with a 36,000 mile warranty.

Too add to that, what has Chevy done since 2002 in the 22k - 33K department (price range for us regular folks)?????

Impala SS stickers 29K (32K fully loaded)....................

Monte Carlo SS stickers for 29K (fully loaded 31.5K).......

Silverado SS stickers for 39K (fully loaded 45K)..............

SSR stickers 43K (fully loaded 50K)..............................

You see a trend here??? Ssssssslllooooowww and overpriced vehicles.... HIGH 14 sec "Super Sport" cars for nearly 30K. Maybe I'm just old, but to me I see nothing "super" or "sport" about any of those........

Sorry, but Dodge (RWD Hemi powered cars, SRT-4) and Ford (Mach 1, Cobra, New GT) have been stomping on Chevy ever since they killed the F-body in 2002............. What does Chevy have to offer???

In January I went to the L. A. Auto Show and saw Chevy was dropping a V8 in the Impala SS and Monte Carlo SS.... I was thrilled......... until I heard both cars were still going to be FWD!?!?!?!.......

WTF Chevy?!....

BTW, the very first time I saw a BONE STOCK Mach 1 run, it ran 13.4 @ 107..... Well within stock F-body range. Hell, the first time I made a pass in my SS, I ran 14.2 (13.3 - 13.5s after some practice)...... I'm sure there was a post on a Honda board somewhere saying "stock LS1s run 14s". It's sad to see the same thing going on here......

A cammed + bolt-on vette is NOT going to beat 90% of the cars on the road, unless your counting all the daily driving gandpa's out there in their 1970 pinto and what have you. Come to think of it, you probably do count them as kills on your way in to work in the mornings huh?
