From a dig I wouldn't put money on the Mach 1. I would say Mach 1 vs SRT-8 is a driver's race. I've seen stock SRT 8's hit low 13's/high 12's. The Mach 1 owner would have to get a good launch and bang them gears pretty good to beat a SRT-8 in a 1/4 race.

Exactly why i fail to see some of the posts logic, if most people agree that SRT8's would defeat Mach1's from a roll, stock or mod for mod, and with an Auto Transmisssion, how come the same car won't beat up the other from a dig ??

And stop resorting to tin cans stripped out cars that run low 11's with with bolt-ons only. if that impress some of you, then the little POS hondas that run the same with a 4 cyl engine would induce a big thurd every time you see one.

7 pages of the same BS, the threads would go from a race between ordinary cars with a CB and CAI to low 11's cars that trap at 120mph with bolt-ons only in N/A trim.

The point of the thread was Mach1 vs LS2 GTO, $hit is getting old, if the Mach1 can launch and the GTO can't, the MAch1 would start with a nice jump, but the same would apply to any other car. the difference is acceleration is clear from rolls, even though the old Pony doesn't agree to such form of racing, so i could add, are we racing from 0 to 60mph, is that what you called a race and get all bend over cause somebody else can launch to save his/her life ?

Get 2 cars that trap within 1mph difference, then you call that one a driver race. .5 sec difference like you have indicated doesn't seem to much on the street, but are you looking at the 60's, 330's and and 1320 times in general or just at the ability of one car and driver to 60' better than the other to run .5 faster or slower?

ET doesn't mean on the street unless one car runs Drag radials and the other don't.

Well because except for the Jeep SRT-8 the other SRT-8's aren't super strong down low. That's why the first mod alot of SRT-8's owners get is the Predator to help on the low end. The Mach 1 on the other hand is very strong off the line so it makes it a close race between the two in a 1/4 race.

All wheel drive makes the Jeep stronger off the line, the internet has made the Mach1 stronger off the line with stock tires....:) 3430lbs, 3.55 gears, 3.37 1st gear ratio and 280rwhp stock and then all of a sudden is the king of the dig ? :sleeping:

Yeah, with tires, suspension and gears they are strong off the line, but what mustang or any other car with a similar setup isn't ?????

And what made you think Chargers or 300c SRT8's are not strong off the line, perhaps the 20" wheels/tires to roll with, plus 4200lbs to top it off?. still they can run low 13's high 12's@108mph. the jeep is running the ET, but cannot trap that high. the Jeep run the ET based on the initial 60', run them both from 30mph and the Charger or 300C would obliterate the jeep.

Mach1's won't 60' like the jeeps using stock tires.

Excluding the Jeep the other SRT-8's have a gear ratio built more for top end than jumping off the line. You see SRT-8 owners on their forums complaining how sluggish they feel down low all the time. The Mach 1 is very good off the line and the average SRT-8 will be playing catchup to a well driven Mach except the Jeep of course.

Hey I have a GTO don't jump on me:thumbsup:

There are entirely too many people concerned about what "stock" cars run.

I had an 03 Mach1 before the GTO, would you trust me then ?:)

The Mach1 is very good of the line with little suspension mods, at least some 4.10's and Drag radials. in stock trim is not better than any other car out there.

And i know the SRT8's owners would complaint about the trans not kicking back to a lower gear from a 40mph or 50mph punch. it is an auto transmission, what would they expect :)

And in the name of good, Chevettes make Jeep SRT8's look like a pos Volkswagen beetle. guaranteed my uncle superdoped chevette on crack would destroy that $hit from any dig

Alot of them complain about the SRT-8 being sluggish at low rpm's. It doesn't have the torquey feel of the LS and Ford engines. A Predator tune really wakes them up. About the Mach 1 they have a strong low end especially compared with the '01 Cobra which was more of a top end runner. With the Mach having that live rear axle it's definitely more suited for drag racing.

Nice kill. I've had a few runs against a Mach 1...CB, CAI and it ran much stronger than I thought....by 60 MPH I was moving out some but non the less damn impressive...much faster than the stock 06 GT I ran..manual too

I beat an 04 Cobra, CB, CAI...don't ask me how...got a pretty even launch and powershifted 2nd and was about 1 car out...he was pulling me in though but shut down before evening up...that was about 85MPH..anything can happen on the street..

I also ran a bone stock SRT-8 Charger and it clicked off a 12.985 at 107.8...even had the sub in trunk option..I was shocked...all good cars....

Hopefully I will be piloting a KB cobra or C5Z soon:rolling:

You and your Mach beating up those poor Goats [ Read Pig ]. Good kill bro, I'm glad I didn't buy one like I was going to.

No offense to Goat owners, I know they can be made fast....

don't they run the same times as the ls1 camaro's and t/a's?? :shrug:

holy smokes i just noticed this thread is old and eight pages long! :D
