Default More Bench Racing!

So, this guy I know just recently got himself a nice clean '98 GT M5 and as far as I know has done nothing to except a cat-back exhaust, CAI, shiny Cobra wheels, and a Zex kit of course. I can't even remember if it's a wet or dry shot, but I'm pretty sure he has AT LEAST the 100 jets in there. Now, I know that without that squeeze he really doesn't have much of a chance and I was supposed to run him a few weeks ago, but my opti-spark chose that night to tell me, "Fuck you!" Damn opti. So I'm probably going to run him sometime soon. So what do y'all think:

My LT1 M6 (virtually stock) with 4.10s and DRs
vs
a '98 GT M5 (virtually stock) with a 100 shot of squeeze or more, probably on street tires.

We both also have good driver mods.

Watcha think?

The tires should be the deciding factor here: street radials + N2O torque = futility, but he should have some damn good top end.

I think that would actually be pretty close.. remember those SN95's are DOGS... The juice takes care of that, but the LT1's are no slouchs either... with 4.10's that could be a monster, haha... I wonder how long a stock SN95 block will survive with a 100 shot...

I would say that it could be a good run between the cars.

Should be a long time as long as it was tuned.

it COMPLETELY depends what shot he is runnin, if its a 100 shot and drivers are equal you should NOT be able to win... you out weigh him by a good margin 300 lbs. and with the 100 shot he has more power too... 35HP... so it will be tough for ya... good luck REP. the LT1!!!

I am willing to bet that the GT just smokes the tires. The LT has dr's which will be an advantage. Remember guys that a drag race is 99% launch.
