which is lighter? lol. christ, you are newb. a stock L weighs 4700lbs + driver and fuel. so 5K lbs easy. if he is stock you will be able to beat him easily (stock L runs 14.0 or so given a decent driver). pulley, tune, air filter and they run 12.90s easily on stock tires. all in the setup. Ls launch very well, atleast as well as most TAs with a decent driver.

ofcourse, you could just quit your talking and race him. you should be able to beat a 5K lbs pickup right?????
