Given equal drivers... you probably will win the first... i dunno 1/32 of a mile... just cause of the gears.

If they are both auto you will be ahead to about 30 mph before he passes you and from there he will pull pretty good on you.

i had a 96 camaro Z28 stock with a 6 speed 2 years ago..... my friend had an 88 LX 5.0 with the exhaust and 3.73's done...... i drove his car and i know that the gears make a huge difference but i honestly dont think that will be enough to beat a trans am.... its the same **** as my camaro was... it also depends on the driver ya know?

Tires will be the most important factor off the line.

You have like 180. They are rated at 215 HP but with your auto stock power is probably like 170, I didn't realize you had an off road pipe.
