Default which gives you a better top end and automatic or a 6M

A buddy of mine has a 04 cobra putting out 466 at the wheels it has a 6 speed. Would a 2001 T/A with an automatic beat him in a top speed race ?

Thanks for the help

Why would you do a top speed race? He would probably stomp you hard unless you have some major mods,

I agree

I think you would at least need to be cammed/properly geared/stalled/bolt-on's to be competitive against him in that type of race. Otherwise, I think you would lose badly.
