My friend has a trans am ws6 and wants to race. I have a 08 mustang gt (manual). Who has the advantage? Would this be a drivers race?

His mods: off road xpipe, shifter, MAF, K&N filter, SLP air lid, TB.

My mods: C&L intake w/tune, off road xpipe, 3.73, spydershaft.

 

I like theTran am'schances.

 

i think it would be close. go race and report back as soon as your done. i want to know about this one.

 

That MAF isn't going to do much for him.

Who drives better? Should be a good race if you don't go to far, anything past 100mph, he's gonna get ya good.

 

05+ gts struggle to get into the low 13's in stock form, whereas LS1's run it with relative ease. With the mods listed, Id say the gt could run a best 12.8 and the ls1 a 12.5 give or take a tenth. Im saying that the CARS can run these times, but the drvrs are needed to get them there.

 

+1 Make it a race from a dig...Don't get talked into a roll race up into the triple digits...you'll get walked....I like your chances up to the 1/8 because of your 3.73's...He should start making up ground just about the 1/4 mark......Get a killer launch and hope that initial lead can hold him off before the point of the agreeable finish point.......Good Luck!!

 

IMO both cars are a high 12 tops with those mods....But thats my opinion

 

my money would be on the LS1.

 

U R probably right, I just posted what I thought what they COULD run based on good runs.

 

Thanks for the feedback! His car is in the shop with some transmission problems , but itshould be out withina week so i will let yall know how it turns out.btwhis 1/8times are around 8.6 (no 1/4 near by) If that helps, i haven't had the chance to run mine yet.Our driving skills areprobablyabout the same.
