This is where you guys like you just don't seem to get it. I could show you a list as long as my arm of Mach 1's that have run low 13's, high 12's stock. Not just a single car, many cars. I also can refer you to this video of a 20 year old kid taking his Mach 1 to the drag strip and video taping pretty much every run he made, and they are consistantly low 13's with a couple of high 12 second runs.

I bet there's another list as long as your arm of Mach 1's not running low 13's. Like I said, it's the same with LS1's. There are a whole slew of them running low 13's to high 12's stock, but there are also a ton that don't run that number. It's pretty much the same with any type of car...some are just faster than others.

I must have missed it....who is arguing and what about? Cammed F-Body > Bolt-On Mach (or most bolt on cars for that matter)

I am constantly doing this with the fauckin hicks and their 1/2 ton pick-ups. If they dual the exhaust on their truck, it like makes these goat-ropers wanna race anything on the road. Louisiana is pathetic...

they don't seem to run that fast when stock around here, must be the negative da's in the winter at Atco or Cecil

i'll really like to see that list with lots of bone stock Mach1's running high 12's to low 13's...., fast when modified ? yes, specially when the suspension/drivetrain/weight reduction has been dialed out, i'll give you that

TRMach1- It's no use trying to convince anybody on this site Mach's are competitors. Most are just fauckin wit you to get a rise outta you. Ever notice it's the same guys over and over? Who cares what any car runs stock? Are we planning to de-mod and all go to the track for some stock on stock action? I better start removing these gears right away....

Personally, I love the Mach 1's and would love to get one someday and start modding it up. I'd love it if it went low 13's stock, but I wouldn't automatically expect that it would.

Nice Kill!!! Your car sounds like it is pretty stout. That MACH bit off more than he can chew. I think he is a real idiot. You can easily hear a cam or heads & a cam on a LS1. Very distinc sound. Just like some one else previously stated: "know your enemy!!"

In case you didn't notice, those threads are started by F-body posters. We mach owners find ourselves constantly taking up for our "GT with decals".

I love anything that is fast and looks good. I have no loyalty to any specific brand or model. It just so happens I own a Mach at the moment.

I noticed...thanks.
My point was its just wierd.One guy pulls a mach, and low and behold,a girl pulls one too.All in like a few days.......I think there were a couple others too.
We "car enthusiasts" find ourselves constantly filtering out the BS
internet racers.
