You should take him if he's stock and you have an intake and tune. I raced a LS2 goat with my mustang at the track. He was basically stock and I had intake/tune, cams and 4.10s. We were neck in neck the entire way down the track. I now have a 04 GTO with L/T, catted X, cam, K&N intake and dyno tune. It puts down 390hp/360tq. Yesterday we had a dyno day sponsored by a local mustang club. After the event I played around with one of the mustangs. It was an 07 Mustang GT vert. Not sure what mods she did to the car. We both left the light a little aggressive and I pulled away. I wasn't sure if she wanted pull so I was in 3rd at 45 and she was right next to me and pulling but when I put in back in second, my car launched and pulled hard on her. She started laughing.

Those manual goats are a bitch to launch as well from what I have been told from owners and others as well.
Unless he's a good driver it can be difficult.
Get him from the launch.
I actually had a run in with one in the 06GT.
I beat him 3 of 3 times up until we got a bit past the 1/4mi range.
He finally would catch up to me then inch me out after that.
We were stock vs stock.
And I can tell you not only was he not a great driver... but I SUCKED at launching.
So you could be ahead of him till quite a high speed if you launch good and he is one of the guys that has problems with his at launch like many do.

Well as far as I can tell he has no mods,not even a CAI as he loves showing off the motor.I have a CAI and bama race 93 tune,which according to him wont help my puny 4.6 at all! He is such a GM freak it makes me sick.And his is a automatic and I have a 5 speed so I might have a edge there.

Well I can for sure tell you guys I am no good driver,I mean I can drive the car but I have never been to a dragstrip so I would probably spin off the line against him but it still should be fun none the less.I just gotta get him side by side at a light and its on,but this never seems to happen,he always leaves before me or some other excuse.He is really a decent person just hates the blue oval,while I on the other hand have respect for any kind of american muscle.I will keep u guys posted.
