The 5 speed Mach1's are badass, but the auto's aren't all that. Between the power sucking auto and the 1k lower redline, the auto isn't much better than a GT

I test drove the 2003 Mach1...not your typical test drive...the salesman was about 25 yrs old and was out to show this old guy(37) up. My wife was in car so I think he was showing off..NO..I know he was showing off..my wife is not bad to look at if you know what I mean. ANYWAYS..he took the car up highway 41 here in Fresno Cal, and out into the country. Nobody around...this guy was talking some smack about his tough truck and how he post 12's in it at the track all the while whipping around corners and mashing the gas in the straightaways. I sat there calmly waiting for my turn. After about ten minuets of his bull$hit talk and driving he handed the car over to me and said "Head back to the lot..but becareful this car is quick"..Obviously..after that remark i could do nothing else but smash the gas right out of 1st...this fool NOW decides to put his seat belt on..LOL..and I took him for the ride of his life...REDLINING and POWER SHIFTING the whole way...even passed up the off ramp to the dealership so I could work the MACH1 even more( the whole time my wife in the backseat with a smile on her face) Anyways this punk salesKID was quiet the whole time..only asking me/bothering me too "watchout for this turn..its hairy" once. So i floored it thru the turn and caught a glimse of his feet trying to put the brakes on from the passenger side.LOL
Anyways as far as the MACH1 goes..that car is WICKED QUICK and if not for one bad spot on my credit i would have a different Members name The shaker hood wood be better looking if it wasnt plastic charcoal but the same color as the car itself and MEDAL.
If the Z28 (never drove one YET) is anything like the MACH1 in handling( it handled just fine thru the turns..much better then my GT) and speed then I give my props to Chevy and anyone who drives one.

I still love my GT
