Default 05 vs 13 Thoughts?

My car is the 05 with mods in sig. My buddy bought a 5.0 13 with 3.31s and a manual - bone stock. From a dig to say about a 80mph..thoughts? Assume the driver mod is equal.

I'm asking because he said its not even a race. I think I lose but not by ridiculous car lenghts....

Subscribing as our mods are similar and I've been wondering this too.

From a dig it could be close. From a roll he'll out mile per hour you big time.

Agree with Blue. Dig is a drivers race, roll is his race.

I don't think the HP difference has that much to do with this particular race. There is a big gap there, but both cars are low 13-13.0 (or random high 12) second cars, one just traps much higher, so a 0-80 mph run isn't really enough room IMO for the 5.0 to start showing its deal. Talking less than an 1/8th mile here.

I'd like to see the 0-80, 0-120, and then a roll... show where these cars strong and weak points are.

Like a few others have said.. roll race he'll pull you really hard.. From a dig, it'll be close and would probably say you have him in the 8th with just your suspension/chassis mods.. That is if you can drive/launch.. in a quarter I'd still say he has you.. However, being that he just got his car he might not know how to drive it very well.. dig races are very much a drivers race..

i've run my buddies stock '11 5.0 and from 40-80 we were dead even, after that he started to pull. you've got gears and alot of other good stuff, i think you could get him outta the hole, but he'll come passing by around 90 or so depending on your launch

Easiest way to settle it is to just run them..
