hmmmmmmmmm well if ls1 ss challenge the the cobra i would say the ss but i love the mach
who says a stock ss is a challenge for the cobra with all things being equal including driver?
That being said, I'm not sure what the best a stock ss has ever run is, and what the best a stock mach has run.

i would say mach 1, but that ls1 ss is bad, i say its up to the drivers
Hmm, that would be a good race. I have seen all kinds of numbers for what the stock Mach 1 ones and for the most part, the numbers I have seen for the ss ls1 are quicker. Mighty close though, I would choose whoever the better driver was. I would enjoy watching that race as it would be very close. GM high tech and performance got a high 12 second run out of a LS1 Camaro but that was with a pro driver.
First of all SS,Z28, WS6, firehawk and the regular T/A are all the same as far as performance wise.
If I would have to pick one that would be just a little quicker than the other LS1's it would have to be the "Stripper Z28" , lighter and no options with 16's.
But believe me a good driver makes all the difference in the world.
Having said that IMO the Mach 1 is the step behind the LS1 but very very close.
E.T wise they are very close but MPH the LS1 will mph over the 4.6 not alot but still more mph out of the 5.7.
I have a buddy who just bought a Mach 1 and I'am so impressed with his car and it's bone stock!
Kudos to ford for making the Mach 1 but a Thumbsdown for bringing it out so late especially when Ford (SVT) also released the Cobra in 03.
Never the less the Mach is a really fun car and every hp ford has advertised is there and a little underated in tq.

i used to own a z-28 and have driven my uncles mach 1. the mach seemed more powerful off the line, but the z was definately more powerful on the top end....at least from my experience driving both. I raced my uncle when I still had my z and I was ahead by a little over 4 tenths
I believe they should be pretty close.
Comes down to the driver, plain and simple.
what do they mach ones run anyway? i heard it was high 13s, so my guess would be the LS1. gotta give Chevy credit for that car (z28, SS, Ws6) that is one sick engine!

the got a automatic mach 1 in the 13.5's, high 12's with the stick, what about the old mach 1 with 428 
, what did it run in the 1/4
, what did it run in the 1/4
the last time i was at sears point a friend of mine ran a 2.0 60 13.2 @ 105 in his stock mach 1 and a stock 03 cobra was running 2.2 60 13.2 @ 109.
we all know that the cobra is faster but it is also harder to launch.
here is the bottom line: mach 1's run low 13's @ 105-106, ls1 run low 13's 106-108. from a dig it is even. from a roll the ls1 is faster. :beer:
i think the mach 1 looks better than the ls1 the camaro is to plain
Would be close and I would say the driver....but I did read in MM & FF that the Mach 1 accomplished 12.9s on DR's and 13.17 I believe on radials but thats a MM&FF magazine... and other magazines couldnt get them out of the 14s:shrug:
It would be a good race
It would be a good race
damn dude ure always defending ls1s and then u have a ****en cobra
It's been a long time since my Mach 1 was stock. It is great to have the Ford vs Chevy stock comparisons.
The LS1's are great cars. I have a lot of fun with them now that my Mach 1 is not stock. As far as the top end goes you should see their faces when they hit 3rd and I start walking them. Gotta love the 6-sp, 4.30's and long tubes 0-140mph is awesome in my car. :thumbsup:
Most modded ls1's still take me, but they do have to have more than a lid and exhaust.
Stock for Stock it is a drivers race in town, in the open the ls1 will pull away.
