Everytime I see this car in town they try and get me to race, or come to the track on weekend.

I talked to the guy and this is what we have.

99 4.6L Mustang
Cam (do not know size but sounds pretty choppy)
Intake
Muffler
5-speed

My car
98 Trans am
auto
slp lid
longtubes or ypipe

Should I go ahead and race him or do you think I should wait and wait till I install the ls6 intake?

go ahead, ls6 intake isn't going to make a huge differance. you prolly have him covered anyway.

if he's got cams then he's prolly got a few more mods then he's saying. gears, intake full exhaust ect ect. i think he'll get ya. if you got a stall you should have him covered

I know, this dude seems shady like he's not being honest..

but he had no drag radials or anything, and he took off quick one time and from the way it sounded didnt seem like he could drive all that well.

I won't race on the street so the only thing would be at the track where I would have my advantage.

I recently sold my truck and I am daily driving the trans am right now..but it's like 4 miles a day at the most to work and back.

I plan on doing intake, cam, stall and spray over the winter months.

i say put a converter in your car before you run him. and dr.

Only one way to find out. He is still likely a 13 second car

if he is lucky, i wouldn't be worried.

Even full bolt-on with cam 2vs struggle to get 300 to the wheels. If he can't drive, go crack his *** on the tree at the track and he'll miss a gear when trying to reel you in

If he can hook from a dig it should be a good race. I still give the advantage to you though.

A guy I know had a 03' gt with just cams/bolt ons/gears and ran a 12.1.

Every MPH past 40 works much better in your case.

I've had two GT's. 3rd gear SUCKS.

i seen 1 in stl do that but most struggle in the 13s

you should be able to still beat him. so i would go ahead and run him. my old 2000 Z28 was an A4 with shitty 2.73, and just a lid and loudmouth and i walked a 99-04 2V GT pretty damn bad.

Careful, you might have called just because everybody doesn't do that...

I say throw some drag radials on your car and meet up with him at the track. It's very rare to have someone call you out and offer to meet you at the track to settle, so that would be very fun.

While it is possible that he's got one of the well setup, well driven cam/bolt-on 2V's and will show up with slicks and skinnies, there is a much better chance that he's going to be running street tires and slow shifting his way to 13's.

Don't get me wrong, I love my z28, but my GT's have been much easier to shift fast than my camaro. I had pro 5.0, ram powergrip hd, steed quick release quadrant, etc etc. I chirped all the way into 4th with 275's. I'm scared to shift the z28 like that.

I have no personal experience shifting a 2V GT, but a car being easier to shift fast doesn't always equate to someone shifting it faster. I run into alot of people who don't know what a power shift is. So many bad drivers (myself included usually) is why it's always so impressive to see a stick car running awesome times.

imonmywhey

True.

There are plenty of s197 (05+) gt's in the 12's with gears and tires. But geared that low with a 5 speed sucks for a DD. 40 rolls suck

I wish there were more 2v's out there like this.
