If you can drive it shouldn't be too difficult.

if you can drive he might not beat you by a whole lot but he will. My buddys 94 Z28 -auto with a SLP catback ran a 14.0 flat, with your mods i doubt your there maybe 14.4

He has you. I ran my friends 89 5.0 and he had pullies, full exhaust, cai, 3.55's and I INCHED on him in my 95 TA (heavier) with A4 and 2.73 gears.

Based on what?

LT1 is very close if not maybe a hair better than a 99-04GT, which means an auto LT1, assuming a half way decent launch, is easily in the 14.2 range. While at the same time, I would say that with (the possible 3.73's coming) his Mustang MIGHT be able to scratch into the 14.8's or so.

Oh my bad. I retract my previous statement. I thought for some reason that he owned a New Edge[&:]

14.8 with full exhaust and gears? Maybe if he cant drive worth a ****. A completely stock auto with 4.10's runs a 14.4. I think it'll be closer than theyr making it out to be, but i will also say that he will probly take you. If your a way above average driver you might get him. Good Luck
