Mustang GT vs. Z06
Ok, so a guy I (unfortunately) know has an '03 Mustang GT auto with headers, full exhaust, 4.10's, throttle body, chip etc. Your usual bolt on car. Obviously right now he's not even a brief concern of mine, however he says hes gonna get a 3500 stall, NX 100 shot and what he called "Stage II Cams." He says he runs 13.6's @ 101 mph now (never seen a timeslip so I dont know for sure) but I'm wondering what he'll run/trap at after all his proposed mods. I know this guy is gonna get this stuff - I'm pretty sure hes not a bullshitter.
So what will this guy run and trap at? Am I safe, and if not, what mods do you think I will need? I'm feeling a 100 shot is good cheap insurance. (All he needs to know is its stock )
Thanks

A buddy of mine has a 2000 M5 GT and runs 13.8's with a couple bolt-ons. Hes one of the best drivers ive ever ridden with. On a 75 shot and slicks (not D/R's) he ran a 12.8. I think his car might be a bit of a freak. Its his DD so he doesnt even think its a quick car but its decently fast for what it is.

Pilfered without remorse from the "Millenium Motor" article
Specifically, it’s a Dupont material called "Nylon 66" that is a mixture of a Nylon and glass fiber reinforcement.
1997 Corvette® LS1 V8 engine has a fuel-saving injection molded nylon air intake manifold. Key benefits of the one-piece, thermoplastic manifold are weight reduction, improved engine performance and reduced manufacturing costs. The manifold is molded of Ultramid® glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 resin.

BTW the composite intake can take it for a while
