Eh, just sneak a 100 shot in there and then you won't have to worry about it.

I think it would be a drivers race.

I think the Mach will take ya, my friend has a bone stock Mach 1 and he always beats my friend with a 2000 WS6 with cut out and intake. But good luck either way!

You will prabably loose, these Machs are fast stock and if he isn't stock it's going to be even faster.. Mine ran low 12's with just an O/R X pipe, catback, 4.10 gears, and sticky tires.. Everything else bone stock.. With the mods I have now it will go low 11's..

I raced the kid with the Mach1 when i had full exhaust and a lid. It was even through 1st and 2nd then i hit 3rd and walked him pretty hard.

In your case it should be close (like ive told you many times). I think you should win.....if you let me drive

It'll come down to drivers, and traction. Mach 1's can hang pretty close to a stock ls1. So it will truely be a drivers race, since he's got intake and exhaust and you have pretty much the same.

Let us know what happens

Don't listen to the mach guys. They are quick and close enough that it can be a drivers race, but you will still have a slight advantage. Especially from 3rd gear on.
