I watched a 2003 lightning stock race manual Mach 1 with exhaust and tune. The Mach 1 walked him HARD everytime, and from the hole? He beat the lightning by about 7-8 car lengths. The lightning doesn't have the same power to weight ratio as the Mach 1.

I have watched tons of stock lightnings do the 1/4 in mid 14's... so yeah if you want to street race or circuit race I'd go with the 4V Mach 1 all day. I see them burning up the 1/4 with runs like 13.4 with tunes, gears, and bolt ons.
