What will it take to beat this?
My dad got a mustang GT/CS and his friend a few days later got a 09 Camaro SS. It pumps out 422 HP and 553 ft lbs of torque. My dad's GT/CS is still COMPLETELY stock and he wants to beat his friend's car. So what can he do to surpass the SS?

You need a blower and nitrous or a turbo. Wait... no, no you don't.
You only need about 57 hp more to beat him and better gearing because the camaro is geared so well. so 357 v 422 is what it works out to after you factor in the weight difference.
I know this because I plugged the numbers into an accelerometer program and used math to calculate the difference between 600 lbs more over the mustang.
You need 305 RWHP which is very possible on a N/A car on the higher extreme of bolt ons.

Your dad could throw in a few suspension mods as well which would help a ton as well.
