I just raced one this afternoon.
SS, 6-speed, from a 40 mph roll. Slowly pulled him in each gear until we shut down for about a 1 full car-length lead. Top of 2nd gear to 4,000 rpm in 4th gear. My car is stock, and close as it was, I'm sure his was too.
Raced another that was lightly modded, SS, 6-speed, cat-back, lid and it was the opposite, he slowly pulled me to about a car length victory, again from a roll.
At the track too, the cars are closely matched.

My track times
I am new to this site, but I thiught you guys would be interested in my times. I live in Atlanta and we have very muggy weather here. Well anyway I ran my 03 Mach1, Bone stock on factory tires, at Reynolds Drag way last September.
1/4 mile--------- 13.216
Trap------------ 106.2mph
60 FT----------- 1.90
Reaction time--- .515
That was no mods at all. The spare and the jack were in the trunk.
I was extremely impressed with this cars performance. Since then I have made my mods and I will be running it again on April 3. I will post my results soon afterward.

I'll agree with all the folks saying it'll be a drivers race. Come on folks,,, how many times have you seen a crappy driver pull 14s in a LS1 or even a new Cobra??? I've seen plenty. There is only going to be 2-4 tenths between them at most if both cars are driven well. IF,,, {and a big if} both drivers are good and it's on the strip,,,, maybe the nod goes to the LS1,,,,maybe just by a smidge.
Most LS1s run low to mid 13s with a decent driver {I ran a 12.96@108mph with only a lid}. So far, the average for Mach1s around here seems to be pretty much the same, just a smidge slower. Figure mid to high 13s on average with a great driver getting low 13s. I've seen around 20-25 passes from Mach1s this year, most were upper 13s.
Pecking order right now goes- new Cobras coming in at around mid to high 12s,,,, LS1s coming in at low to mid 13s,,, Mach1s are running mid to high 13s and GTS are turning low 14s for the most part. JMO,,, sound bout right?
00Z28 {or whatever your name was},,,, how bout shutting up? You are making it hard for the rest of us that like all cars. Automatic LS1s had 3.23s for the most part, manuals had 3.42s.

Oh ls1 are the easiest car ive ever seen to mod maybe besides a 03 cobra. A lid will give u gains of up to 30rwhp, depending on the cam u can get anywhere from 20-60rwhp, longtubes can give around 10-30rwhp, and afrs have seen 70rwhp. so how is that not easy to mod??? And a blown ws6 only running 12's sorry he cant drive his car right
