if you can drive, and have some kind of race tires, you're TA could be 12's. you'll take him no prob if he's got 250whp. good luck!

Don't worry, you will win. Just don't talk smack until after you win.

Please!! tell your friend to go to grandamgt.com. the only supercharger you can buy cost $3,900 dollars!! And the fastest grand am is 13.7 in the 1/4 mile and that was with a s/c and nitrous. no real point on spending that much cash on something that slow
