I think you'll lose, not by much though.

op don't get your car tuned until you do more work, its a complete waste of money

If he has a new edge it will probably be close, but I would still think he will win

if its a s197 you're going to get you *** kicked, get rid of those crappy e7's and it will be a race, until then I don't hink you have much of a chance

Perhaps I'm daft, or maybe just weetoddid, but wasn't 94 the last year for the 5.0 in the SN95's? [&:]Unless the OP did a swap and put a 5.0 in a 95GT that is..

no way those mods put him up to 260hp from 215 maybe 240hp if the gt is 1999-2004 with mods probably will loose.

as long as its not a 2005 or newer 4.6 think ya got a good race 95 comes with 215 with mods you should be around the 260 they get stock then the gears would help ya there and if there is a lot of miles on his 4.6 they start to get weak from what i hear always worth a shot

No 95 was the last year for the 5.0 We raced at ATCO last night, i launched hard and gained maybe3/4 car, and just held him from there, at the end it was close but i had him by .15 of a second. i also raced my dad in his1990 corvette and saw tail lights,then my brother had to come out in his Z06 and ensure my status of being lowest man on the family horse powertotem pole. And just a thankyou for everyone that posted.
