Default Going to Mexico..

A couple friends and I are going to Mexico to get some runs in.

100% Stock G8 GT VS. a 99 Mustang GT with an SLP catted X-pipe and a SLP cat-back with short throw shifter and 4:10's. What does everyone think? I would have to think the G8 but the kid talks so much **** I wanna see him lose. Input? Thanks everyone.

I was going to ask, why the hell would you risk going to Mexico, but then I realized you meant Mexico.

What tires does the Mustang have? A geared 2v stang with some decent tires rips pretty well out of the hole. Ask me how I know.

Up top, the G8 will freight train him though. Keep the race going as long as possible (agree to do dig-120 plus).

Lol, never been a fan of Mexico. Just on "road trips" but he's getting a new set of Nitto 555R's. Long story short he smacked a curb breaking an axle so that's why he's getting new tires and gears. Also why the race is sort of delayed. Also, he MIGHT be getting a cold air intake and an SCT tuner. Not sure if that'll happen before that race or not. We'll see. I'll take videos.

On a side note my other friend has an 04 GT with some more mods and it runs damned hard. If the 99 loses we'll line the 04 and the G8 up.
