I'm not a fan of the catfish, I think they all suck... Trans Ams on the other hand... That's the good stuff right there, i wouldn't mind having a WS6 myself.
you are going to lose, no reason to put money on the race unless you like giving ******** on the internet money.
GXP's are crap, they suck and that's why the kid had to run off and find someone with a half-way decent vehicle to race you.

Yea, maybe 125 mph if I push it but its kinda lame.
The auto restricts me since 4th gear (o/d) is a band I cant actually use it to race so im restricted to 3 gears.
Great for 1/4 mile but kinda gay on the street. Feels extremely neutered if I ever go to race on the highway.
But I guess I shouldnt really be doing 150 mph highway pulls haha
Im not running anything crazy, just a 3.73 gear....

^that's one of the reasons why i'm excited to get this new motor and cams in my car, so i can rev past 6k and still make decent power. I'm hoping to take it to the 6500 area which hopefully will atleast let me reach 130 or so.

Be careful with taking the 4r70w past 127.5mph as that's the spot if you don't have your tune setup correctly you'll be rebuilding your trans when it shifts into 4th.

Im really considering throwing some 3.27s in it or something lol.
If you dont turn your OD off when racing you deserve to blow your trans haha

lol yea, My car is making solid power all the way to 6500 but I think the 3800 stall has some extra slippage at high rpms that knocks the MPH down a few as well and I dont take it above 6200 in third gear on the street usually.
