If buying a manual - Mach 1 no question as the Tremec is far superior.
Buying Auto - Get the cheaper option.
Just my 2 cents. Not sure the Mach 1 Auto has anything over the GT...that cant be easily added later.
Beautiful car, perfect Mach 1 in my opinion. I would have ordered it the exact same way. Sorry to hear you may have to offload her, I'm sure you would never get rid of it otherwise.
I am no expert, but have been looking at M1 prices regularly for at least 6 months. The bottom of the market, as...
Those seats look great, quality looks much better. Did you do the install yourself?
I think this is one of the best upgrades, we spend so much time inside the cars after all.
I guess maybe it varies by location or something? As I said in my post it was right off the build site. I wonder how that works, as I trust you are getting your #'s from somewhere reputable.
Either way, the $1,085 isn't nearly enough to cover the mods listed in the post I was quoting.
Eh, even the 1LE doesn't do it for me in the looks department. A base GT doesn't either, but with the more aggressive styling that bigger wheels and tires and ground effects add, I'm all in! Sadly(and I am a previous 5th Gen 1LE owner), the new 1LE makes me think "You can polish a terd, but its...
This is true.
The gap between these cars is less than a thousand dollars not including incentives(GM $1,000 cash incentive). The below numbers come from the build site for both cars.
GTPP MSRP - $36,565 w/destination
1SS MSRP - $37,295 w/destination
That is less than a $750...
Well said sir. The GTPP is certainly enough for me right now with my skill level or lack thereof. As has been said, I would rather save some money on the car purchase and use the savings to improve my driving skills through some instruction. I would rather be fast in my car than just be in a...
You're 100% correct, you certainly don't need a supercharger to beat a 1LE. In reality if you want to build a 1LE killing GT, you NEED to skip the supercharger entirely and work on the items you suggested to beef up handling and close the power to weight ratio gap, which is easily done with a...
$1600-$2000 for Wheels AND tires?!?!? I think you are really low balling some numbers here, but whatever that's fine. My reply was to a statement of taking a base car, not a base car w/PP and making it as track capable as the 1LE. I am not saying it is not possible, I just don't think it can be...
Nicely done sir, you can really drive the crap outta that thing!!!
Comes to show it doesn't matter how fast your car is, only fast you are in your car!
Yeah, comparing a heavily modded car with a factory car is a little silly to say the least.
Even then, this heavily modded base GT will still struggle to keep up with a 1LE around the track lap after lap. I am not even sure it can be done. You need bigger brakes, new wheels with bigger...
Competition certainly dictates the '18 come with a better exhaust. I believe the new Challenger comes stock with active exhaust, so not offering as an option for MY '18 really doesn't make sense, so I certainly agree with you.
That is by far the best came I have ever seen. Really creates...
