Default Will I win???

Ok this kid at my school just got a 94-95 Gt convertable, 5.0 of course 5speed odd for this loser but what ever the point of this post is will I win?? I mean my car weighs a good 450 less than his but his car has 215 hp and 285 tq. and mine has 190 hp and 220 tq. mine also has less miles on her and i know how to drive better than he does. Do you think honestly I have any chance. O also look in my sig. for my MINOR mods.

what type of race is it? curves, straight, what? and it all depends, does he have a short shifter? and also, its a 5.0 GT, so ummmm, it boils down to your track....

pretty sure you will lose if he can drive and his car is in good shape.
none of your mods give you any more HP.

I was talking bout just a straight drag on the street, no he doesnt have any mods and his car is not perfect but I am not gonna lie and say it is horrible cuz it is just alright. Also he is a Terrible driver, this is is first manual and he is still learning on it, which I feel bad bout cuz it just snowed today. Of course I wont be racing him til spring so ya never know I may have a diablo by then maybe for christmas.

See my post in the other thread V6 vs wrx and trans am...

It's a drivers race against a manual 5.0. Vert is heavier so as long as you don't miss a shift you will either keep up with or beat him.

he has a huge torque advantage over you though, if u had some more mods then id say ud take him but ur pretty much stock....as long as he doesnt miss a shift, hell prolly win it (not by a whole lot, but hell still win)...

anyways just race him and find out ...good luck

you should be able to take him, hes got 2.73 gears and weighs a little more, its more of a drivers race, and race him on half a tank of gas and take out the jack and spare tire.
