last time I went to the track there was a stock mach 1 there running 14.0-14.3

It was 90* and 80* humidity.

The 02 SS would be faster. Especially on the street.

The LS1 will normally trap more but there almost identical in the 1/4 mile

Assuming it was an actual Mach I, it should be close, but once again, ya never know. They run pretty good from the factory. And I believe they're lighter than the fbody as well.

The SS has a slight advantage, on the order of 2-3 carlengths in the 1/4 mile everything else being equal.

Exactly. Fastest stock Mach 1 by Evan Smith was a 13.1x at 105ish. He ran a 12.89 at 108ish in a bone stock LS1. It took Paul Svinicki DRs to get a very high 12 out of an otherwise stock Mach 1.

That's pretty dang impressive for either car.

I agree that the LS1 has the slight advantage, although 108 mph trap vs 105 trap is a little more than a slight advantage.

Yes from high speeds the power and aerodynamics of the Camaro really shine. The Mach's gearing helps it in the lower speeds.

In the 1/4 they seem to be about even. LS1s and mach1s can both run low 13s. Its a drivers race. Why dont you ask this question on mach-1.org so you can get the other sides opinions. I bet every other post will be

Yep. Just because a lot of owners think their Machs are faster doesn't change the truth. Ricers think they can take Stangs and Camaros. Does that make it the truth? Not hardly.
