Default 02 SS SLP vs Saleen 281SC?

One of my good friends is unfortunately a blue oval guy. Being the bow tie man that I am I remind him daily about how small his v8 is. I can't really find much information on his car we haven't had a good go just yet and I'm curious what I'd be in for. I know he had a supercharger but I almost know he has a 4.6 & I have an LS1

Make sure you throw your Pabst can at his car and have Def Leppard blaring in the background if you pass him.

Nice kill!

I especially liked the Def Leppard blaring on the radio and the part when the beer can hit that slow supercharged 4.6! Good times for sure!!

Saleen 281SC is not enough info: what year? power varies from a claimed 350hp in the year it first came out ('99) to 470hp for '05-'10. Is it stock? Are you stock?

If both stock, here's how it should boil down: 1999-2004 you should walk away from. 2005-2010 (at least I think it was 2011 when they changed to the 5.0) it honestly is a drivers race unless he has the Extreme version which should pull you (claimed 500hp/500tq SAE but in reality it's more like 430 SAE).

No movie reference. Stereotypical GM owner who thinks his Chebby 350 is a mean fire breathing dragon and the piddly 4.6 is not worthy of your gas.

Good luck on your race, a little humility would make a victory so much sweeter. Save the trash talk for after you race him. Is he a douche or is he cool about it?

Wut eh ******.(spelling intended)

Gtfo with your bench racing that will never happen.

Clearly, based on your inability to read, you shall crash into a tree if this race does happen to transpire.

Is it wrong that Def Leppard is one of my favorite bands and that I do in fact love PBR. Aw heck.
