Default Can i beat this old goat???

1969 GTO 455, 4spd, 30 over, small cam, 3.90gears, street tires VS. me 2000 WS6 a4, flowmaster and MTI lid. We probably go from a dig and a low roll and to be honest from a dig i think ill get him from a low roll might be a tad bit closer tho. what do you guys think???

If thats "all" he has done to the car you should actually have no problem either way. A stockish 455 has good torque, no rpm and low hp. If he has a low 1st gear he'll get you out of the hole but you'll rope him in.
With the set up he has he's probly a high 13 car and u should be lower 13 sec car.
If his motor is built then u better watch out because my friend ran an 11.8 and threw a belt a good bit before the end of the track so he should of been even lower.
Good luck, and you should post the turn out !
