2005 Grand Prix GTP 15.0 sec @ 93.0 mph 1/4 Mile
2006 Ford Mustang GT13.9 sec @ 104.0 mph

Don't think it will be as close as everyone thinks....You should have him by a second or so!!
Well that's the confusing part. His name elludes to him being a 2006 but his sig pictures shows a new edge. That will make a huge difference. If he does have a new edge it's going to be a close race, with mustang with the advantage. If its a 2006, bye bye grand prix.

Hm i know absolutely nothing about FWD cars.... But wouldnt the FWD do BETTER from a dig? All the weight from the engine would be on top of those wheels for traction right?
You got the part in bold correct at least

race him from a STOP. My bud had a 00 and I could rape him from a stop, but it was only a slow pulling away until 80 MPH from a low 1st gear roll, and that was with a 5 speed.

No Sir. From a stand point, FWD has the disadvantage as the weight of the vehicle is transferred reward, therefore taking traction off of the front wheels.

Yeah...they all run 13.624

I'm sure there are many, many 05 GTs that run a 13.9 quarter mile. Just like there are many that run 14.3 and many that run 13.5.

The OP said he has an 06 GT.

roll race an auto and a manual GT with the same mods and the manual will win everytime... you cant downshift in an auto
The auto will downshift, its just not as reliable, as you are counting on the car to choose the right gear to shift to.

I assumed because he said he didn't have the pictures of his new car up that his new car was an '06, judging from his name.
