Got whooped by a stock Mach 1

Your car ran an 8.84 in the 1/8th with a shitty 60' time. I would say you'd hit an 8.4-8.5 with a solid 1.95 or so. That is 13.3-13.4 territory with a good 60' time. A stock Mach1 will already do that if not better, so I would say the outcome was predictable.

What I'm saying is my car is a low 13 sec car, which I thought stock Mach 1's were right there too.

Have you run your car in the 1/4 mile yet? An 8.84 is not a low-13. Even an 8.4-8.5 is borderline getting there. A Mach1 is there stock. I'd say a Mach1 would be 8.3ish bone-stock in the 1/8th, and the one you raced had a little exhaust work too, so figure it would be a touch quicker.

I know 8.84 is not a low 13. But that was with a 2.24 60ft. If my local track wasn't so shitty I could pull off a 8.4-8.5 which is around a 13.2. 8.3ish is borderline 12's I didn't know they were that quick stock.

Its been common for some guys to his 12.9x's in stock trim with sticky tires. Some of the Machs run very well, and some are turds. You'd be lucky to get better than a 13.70 with an auto Mach1.
