Oooh. You're getting in trouble all over the place since you got back Lemons.

To the OP: You shouldn't even worry about what it takes to beat a gt500, unless you have some vendetta against someone in a stock gt500

I suggest you just build the car up properly as money comes to you and there are plenty of threads on here that explain just how to do that (not going into it).

In the peculiar case that you are just interested or do have said vendetta, then it depends on where you want to beat them.
At the track, just as others have said, all it's going to take is bolt ons, sticky tires, and a stall (gears will help significantly too).
From a roll you can go either the 100+shot route or the mild H/C route (though a nice cam and tune would fit the bill probably).
I personally would suggest the H/C route FIRST. You don't want to get addicted to the bottle early on too much like some members on here... *Cough, Cough* Confuzed...Cough* I keed, I keed.

Or you could skip all that and buy a GTO... I hear those are CRAZY fast!

Well....yes and no. The IRS for the Cobra hooks much better on the street as the car can squat more. The SRA is far better for the strip and saves a ton of weight.
For a 100% drag car I'd throw in a SRA with 3.55's, 315+ wide tires and an automatic

Well it's just a way to give me an idea as to where I would stand with one ("bench racing" if you will). The chances i'll see them real often around here isn't very likely. Just thought it would be fun to know since i've never ran one and I don't go to the track.

So all I really have is magazine racing and how fast people "say" they are. Please don't take that away from me.
