Default beat a 5.0

I raced my friends new manual 5.0 vert, he has o/r H pipe and CAI.

I have bbk equal shorties, o/r H, flowmasters, CAI, shift kit, and smog pump removed (all i can think of right now I don't have anything else thats major).

He thought he would beat me because its manual but I thought it would be close cause I have more stuff.
I normally don't street race, but he pulled up next to me on an open road and I couldn't resist.

I had a car and a half on him and pulling when I let of at 65.... Man that felt good.

hey, for their age and their price, I think they are pretty quick, I mean sure its not faster than your ls1 but its still faster then 99% of the cars I will pull up to at a stop light...

I'd say mid to low 14's is decently quick.

This is true. Out of maybe 2 dozen races, I've only lost 2 or 3.
