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.

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
