Finally someone with common sense posts that altitude affects cars, and not all machs/ls1's will run at their potential.

Good run against the Mach1. From what everyone says it's usually a driver's race against one.

Why can't I ever get into any races?? Last time I took my car to the track 1/8th mile, it ran a 7.0@98.6 mph granny shifting it.. I'm going back this week to push it harder..

I think they come with cobra motors just not with the kb in them.

No. Mach1 does not have forged internals from the factory (one of the major differences). The 03/04 doesn't have a kb from the factory. They have an Eaton from the factory. If my Terminator had come with a kb, it wouldn't have the garrett...

There are several more differences such as the cobras have an iron block and Mach's have an aluminum block. Cobra's comp ratio is 8:1, Mach's is 10:1. Also if I'm not mistaken the heads and cams are different. So other than having the same 281ci displacement the Mach's motor is nothing like a Cobras.
