From a dig or roll? What gears do you have? What tires is your buddy running?

Hmmm well on one had he has the gear advantage, but is also on 19's. You having the stock stall is going to hurt from a roll though. I think he might get you from a roll but who knows

Im going to say the M6 car will win if he can drive it from the roll.

if you go from a dig you may have a chance if you hook better

If the roll is from 30 or lower I think you have a chance but if its higher then that and he can shift above average then it goes to him.

M6 from a roll.

If i were you I'd be installing a stall soon. Definitely worth the money. Best mod for an auto IMO.
