You def have this in the bag. If its a friendly run, have fun with it. If its a rival, put a dollar or two down on it

I had my rear built a couple months back because I slid into a curb and bent an axle. I figured I might as well upgrade for possible mods down the road (mabe a SC)

Just a friendly race so no money i dunno if it will be on the street or not I'm trying to get him to come to the track with me in Jan.

You'll dry fvck him, plain and simple. Put some long tubes on that bitch, the one thing I've always liked about 99-04 GT's is the symphony they make with full exhaust...

I have no problem with traction as long as I don't put it to the floor in first.

Yeah I agree with just about every one else with the mods in your sig you should (if you can drive) beat him by at least a car. Good luck man and let us know how it went...

Yea I thought so I just wanted to know. He keeps saying stuff like his car has 300 hp because of a ram air hood which he doesn't have and that the guy who owned it before him said it ran mid 13s... It's all stock though.

BTW i like your name. That show is hilarious.
