Racing a Mach 1

z28 boy · #1 02-08-2004, 08:36 PM

Hey guys. I posted this thread in the mustang forum and now i want to see what you guys have to say. I have two friends that are brothers one drives a 35th anniversary z28 and the other a Mach 1. I beat the Z by about 2 and car lengths. Now the other guy in the Mach 1 wants to race me and he wants to put money on it. What do u think? I don't wanna embarras myself. Yall think i can beat him? He has no mods just bought it. I have an 80 series flowmaster and hypertech programmer with 160 degree stat. THey say in the Mustang forum that i might lose. does any one know if the Mach 1's are fast or not?

dont know boss, i have heard that the mach 1's have some guts to em, but dont have any firsthand experience. depends on how much money he wants to place. like 50 bucks for fun, no biggie, but if hes wanting like a 500 dollar run, tell him to fuck off. cuz theres something else going on there. what mods if any have been done to your Z.

Theres no way we can tell ya without knowing exactly what he has and what you have.

id say run im, im the kindof guy who never turns down a challenge (unless its rediculously pointless). even if i get my butt handed to me, its still fun no matter what.

well from what i've heard the mach 1 is overrated like you wouldn't beleive so i think it'd be a good bet to take him on.

the mods are listed in the thread

Damn it when will you people stop asking us and find out for yourself. What are you afraid of? If it's too much money on the line then just say no and ask to race for fun.

I honestly think you'll win, Stangs are slow, except if there all hopped up or have SVT Cobra written on it. (HOPPED UP)

I have a Dodge, and no it's not a stealth or a viper, and I beat a 94 5.0, each stock.

i'm just like that myself, anyhow you should win, is your z a 01? if so you have 10 more hp and 40more lbs of tq then him and both cars weigh the same plus you have mods, don't get shook up, go make the asphalt cry and blow his doors off

I hope you are joking man. That LS1 should wipe the floor with him. They are rated at about 305hp I believe. Who knows, maybe that is low, maybe that is high, but I know your car is underrated. Not to mention the torque difference. If he is bone stock like you say, I'd put $50 on it...

the new mach ones are as slow as the factory mustangs they are the same thing but dressed up

Man, your guys ignorance and trash talking baffles me to no end??

Over on the Mustang side, you rarely hear us trashing Chevy's, and when this thread was posted, there wasn't one comment that I can recall about how Chevy's sucked. In all honesty this will more then likely be a drivers race.

Well, this is a totally false statement. The new Mach 1 has a totally different motor (DOHC opposed to a SOHC for starters), different gearing and other such things then a plain old GT.

This statement also has no merit! The Mach, if anything is under rated. For those of you who haven't ever been experienced in dealing with a Mach really have no place in bench racing this topic. The Mach can easily run very low 13's bone stock with a good driver. And a 12 sec time slip is not far off with slicks and a decent launch. This car is very impressive to see and be with in its presence.

So now your comparing a 94/95 5.0 to the current GT's and Mach's?? The 94/95's sucked and were total dog's stock! I'm not much of a fan of then as you can tell, and I'm not surprised you beat one with a Shelby Daytona. But to categorize all Mustangs as being slow is pretty stupid!

Sorry to sound like I'm going off on you guys, but most of you (not all cause there's still very knowledgeable members here) really seem to be uneducated and obviously biased.

Man we should not even be having this debaute...... Come on guys the Camaro Mustang Rivlery is dead. Stop all this crap and go smoke some rice.

But serouisly all of you should be giving respect to each other. The LS1 is a killer engine extremely efficient makes alot of power. Also it responds well to mods. The camaro is a nice performance car. Handles well and just has an all around sporty feel to it.

The GT compared to a Z has a bit of catching up to do but man, Look at the price tag! Thats alot of car for the money. Plus The DOHC 4.6 n/a and the supercharged one. Amazing perfomers. I think the NA is like 320 HP or something like that. I'm not too sure on my numbers but it is somewhere in that range. We all know the performance of the Cobra engine. Who cares if it is supercharged, it performs.

I can go to a ford dealship and buy one right off the ford showroom floor with a factory warenty. That is not hopped up. Maybe GM should have supercharged there LS1. Ford was smart enough to do it. Also don't tell me that if GM had supercharged th LS1 that you would not eat it up or be like "Oh well it's not a n/a engine I don't think it is worth the respect."

We are all here to go fast with American Muscle. Lets not get into a pissing contest. Joking around is cool but just plain bashing is not.

Also.. sorry if I pissed anyone off about going off on the whole supercharging thing. It just really urks me when people bash a force fed car for doing what they do best. Going fast.
