The question is not by how many cars... but by how many football fields...

Brush up on your driving skills, get some stickies (nitto drag radials), back up with a bottle and depending on who is the better driver, I believe in you. Make sure you know how to drive with the bottle. I almost got cremated by a guy with little experience and a bottle. It really scared the s#@* outta me. I love my car.

I agree on the bottle, but you never know, sometimes you will take someone down that you are not supposed to but it sounds like you know this car pretty well so I doubt that will happen :-/

He's got at most 500 hp (crank), so he'll beat you but it won't be football fields.

a 383 tpi style motor will be hard pressed to put 400 rwhp through an auto unless is has a huge cam and huge heads....my 1990 lpe vette put 333 rwhp through a 700R4, but it would also run high 11's...had lots of torque. He will beat you, but a 150 shot and tires you will be right there or beat him.

My standard input to these threads ....


You should bet him $500, go and buy nitrous ... and if/when you win, use the money you won to pay off the nitrous.

Umm... what the hell kind of question is that? Seriously... First off, its on the street. Pretty much anything can happen Second, we can't measure how well either of you drive over the internet. Third, Car lengths are nowhere near exact, and there is that whole "what is a car length" debate as well. Fourth, what kind of race? Dig, roll?

You get what Im saying?

What MillaTK is saying is...there is no clear way of saying what the outcome will be as far as car lengths are concerned. Anything can happen on the street. Just race him and let us know how it goes. My guess is he'll put 4 cars on you from a dig up to 110 and from a roll about 45-120 about 3 cars. Hell, I'm just guessing here.

JUST RACE HIM AND FIND OUT

We have no idea. He could have from 350-550 hp, and you could be jesus christ himself in the driver's seat.

GO RACE
