Drivers race. If yours is an A4 he may get ya, if your an m6 you got him. I remember running a cai only GT 01 and put maybe half car on him (I was a stock A4 with a LOT less miles). But Id put my money on you in the long run.

Should be a close race but you should come ahead if your car is running with no issues. I did race a 2004 GT back when I had my 1994 LT1 ta, he's had CAI and a loud exhaust, I did beat him good

Those gt's are nothing to worry about. I beat one by at least 2 cars when I was stock he had a catback. I am an a4 with 2.73s BTW. You should have no problem

i pulled a o4 mustnag with exhaust, cold air, and probably other stuff. within seconds of the light changing i was 1 car ahead of him. i beat him by a good 3-4 cars by the time he gave up. this was with stock manifolds and another person in the car.

260HP, and enough to keep dead even with an LT1 stock for stock or mod for mod.

Not even close...I raced my cousin a while back in his 03 GT. I'd say he's an average manual driver, my 95 z is an auto, ram air, !cat, magnaflow; gave him the jump off the line and still beat him by 3-4 in about a 1/4 mile. He was alone and i had a passenger. i only revved out to 5k in first and still pulled a 1/2 car, hit second and steadily pulled. with a really good driver, perhaps it could be a close race...

your t/a should definitely have alot better traction than the mustangs on the street.youve got more hp and tq but they are lighter. so like pntbll said, id put my money on you.

When my lt1 was stock i raced alot of those gt's and i was successful but there were some that would give me a good challenge. You should be alright.

Drivers race. I have a buddy who has a 01 Bullit with 5-speed and it was dead nut from a dig. From a roll I couldn't keep up. At the time i think all i had was a cai.
