I Thought Mach 1 Are Fast
this post is NOT to flame mach 1 owners or start any flaming. but as much as i see the mach 1 posts vs. fbodys everybodys says its a real close race. i happend to see mach 1 for the first time at the track. 2 weeks ago i seen them go 13.9-8 for 3 runs. then last week my buddy had an 03 mach and it was an auto and he has k&n filter, predator chip, prochamber, no cats, flowmaster and he ran a 14.0 @ 99mph? and another black mach 1 5 speed with a stick ran after him and he was all stock except for flowmaster and he crapped out a 14.1? so after seeing these runs i am dissapointed. our fbods rip 13.6-3 stock atleast. just thought you guys like to know

They are damned near equal to a stock LS1 with equal drivers. Maybe you saw rookie drivers or cars with tuning issues. Who knows.
They mod up nicely. How's 1,000hp sound?

The Mach's you saw had to have bad drivers. Those Mach's are pretty quick and an LS1 would have probably ran a 14 too with those drivers.

It's all about $$$ my friend. I'm not really a Mach fan, but they are respectable.

There are certain people here (Gray, you know who ) who've spent that on F-bodies and they make no where near that kind of power.
'Vettes aren't all that special either in the grand scheme of performance cars so get off your high horse.

I have seen LS1's run 14's as well. Hell, I have a 14 second time slip for my LS1 which involved missing 3rd gear and trapping at 100 mph just like the Mach 1's you saw above.
So to answer, yes Mach 1's are fast and given equal drivers will win in the 1/8 but lose the 2nd 1/8 in almost all cases. Not a car to take lightly.
