03 mach1 5spd vs 1bad95z

Saw a nice black mach1 on the eway thought why not.... I should be able to keep up crappy cell phone video but youll see i give him the go ahead wave and kept mine in over drive. I was giggling like a lil school girl when i saw his headlights. We got off at the same exit and he said it was a stock 03 and he wasnt too happy but gave me the thumbs up and "thats a bad *** car"

Hmmm, I wouldn't have guessed that an LT1 with full exhaust and a few bolt ons would walk a Mach 1.

Nice job.

Why? According to his sig. he's got a 300hp 'vette engine with longtubes and a bunch of small mods against a stock 305 hp car. He should have the upper hand in that race.

When you describe it that way, it makes more sense. I glossed over the "300hp Vette engine" part for some reason (probably because it was a factory rating, which we all know is only loosely coupled to the truth) and just saw that he had an LT1 with 4-bolt mains and a couple of mods.

Mach 1s are a good match for an LS1, and I am under the impression that it takes a bit more than his list of mods to make an LT1 match an LS1.

Maybe the "300hp Vette engine" is more different from the F-body LT1 than I realize.

From my research, there is no difference between an F-body and a vette LT1. The power rating comes from a few things:

1. The exhaust on a vette is a true dual setup.
2. The intake track is straighter in the vette.
3. The general can't have a car that has the same or a higher HP rating than the vette.

I have no problem believing his story. I've never had a problem with a stock or mildly modded Mach 1...

This is hard to believe. That ls1 should turn mid to low 12s easy; the ls1 should put bus lengths on you unless something is wrong. You are 300hp + bolton's and the ls1 is 345hp + cam and bolton's.

Since when is a ls1 345 hp in a camaro?!?!?!???? In 1998 the z28 was rated at 305hp,where the ss had 320...2001 they upped the power rating to 315 z28 and 325 ss.You should probably do a little research before you post
As far as bull ****, it may be a crappy video but i clearly beat him.

I did research and many say they were underrated from the factory. Many say they actually put out 345hp. He should have 390rwhp+ He should run low 12s easy 11s with traction.

Many will say they were underrated and im not saying he isnt faster than me,one key thing you are not noticing is did i mention if he was tuned? no.I did all the work on the ls1 and my friend and i have raced probably 20 times on the eway.My car will clearly keep up with his right now.Its not like im getting on here and trying to bull **** anyone.I've got a pretty much stock car with a few bolt ons and a amazing paint job.didnt claim to have the fastest car out there.Just thought Id share a vid of it beating a mustang since im on a "camaro" forum.Also Its a z28 not an ss so your video doesnt show me anything.

SS and z28 are same motor with exception to ram air that does not do much on a dyno when the car is not moving. He really does need a tune with that large of a cam the tune will really wake it up. He cant even get into the cams top rpm because of the stock rev limiter. You guys should both get a madz28.com tune, the tune helped my car out even when it was stock. On your mustang kill though I believe its possible your lt1 pulled the mach1; I ran into one in my grand prix gt and lost by only a car length from light to light. My grand prix is a 3.8L not supercharged with exhaust, msd wires, and a Cold air intake.
