Mach 1 vs dumdumdumdumdum
I'm hoping the line up next to a LS1 next time I take her car to the track.

You shitty driver...LOL.
hey man....
What are your shift points?..what was your 60'? SHe's probably putting down ~280-290, so high 12s is def. there. 1-2 and 2-3 I would shift at ~6500 and 3-4 (if you do) at 6300...then play around with those rpms.

I read up on the shift points but I decided to shift every gear at 6,100rpms. Also the 60' was a 2.0 because I slipped the clutch too much. Something about her in my ear all day saying "You had better not break an axle on my car! I swear to God...!" got me to slip the clutch too much.

6100??...GOOD GOD man....yep...3/10s... shift higher. 2.0 isn't bad on street tires, esp. on your first run. You wont' break an axle with street tires...your more likely to wear the clutch out slipping.
THat would be nice....but get some DRs, or you'll spin like a bottle at a frat party.
Machs are low-mid 13s, like LS Fbods...with both having a select few in upper 12s. On the highway, they are darn close with the edge going to the lsF..hence, my comment. The highway, I know first hand....Haven't had the chance to line up from a dig or a track...but these cars are on par from a dig. Machs have great gearing stock, and nice low end power/TQ.
Like any other car.....driver depends..which is why I always give a range in ETs. (along with track and other factors)

Anywhere anytime means from a dig or a roll, street or track. Machs run mid 13s to high 13s usually with a few dipping into the low 13s. LLS1s run mid to low 13s usually with a few dropping into the 12s. Machs fastest traps are nowhere near LS1s fastest traps.

If you TRULY believe machs are mid to high 13s...You are by every definition Ignorant. mid to high 13s is A4 times....not M5. Try comparing apples to apples. And yes...you are correct in trap speed...Machs are generally 2 mph less..but if you think that is enough to win anywhere anytime....then you are most certainly ignorant and I would advise you eat that cookie before you say anything else ignorant about machs.....I'm sure it tastes better than your 'cheerios' and your own 'foot'.
