Default GXP vs WS6?
There is this kid I know (def not a friend) who keeps talking all types of junk about his WS6 beating my GXP. I have constantly asked him to put up or shut up and yet he always has an excuse on why he cant line it up. I am curious if I would have a snowballs chance in hell on beating him. He has no mods just stock with an auto tranny and all I have is a K&N CAI. Is it possible that I have a chance to beat him?

As long as he doesn't just smash the gas you're screwed from a dig. You're screwed no matter what from a roll.

your talking about an LS1 WS6?

One answer..no..these are under rated cars in the HP department. You will get him off the line but thats it. He will pull you in and go right past you.

Ok, so maybe I'm putting down a LITTLE more than a CAI LS4. BUT fact remains it'd be a good race, not a raping. Especially if it's a 00 or earlier WS6.

What's that have to do with anything? 98-02 any differences are negligible. 01-02 are sometimes thought of as "faster" but nothing one bolt-on wouldn't fix.

This isn't helping to prove your original point.

The difference is maybe 1 or 2 tenths in the 1/4. Not really worth mentioning in this context IMO.

So now that that''s cleared up. How is it going to be a slaying for the OP to race this car?

Sarcasm I get, and give. For instance my last post. It's obvious to see you know, but since you keep asking I'll humor you.

More power, more traction (generally speaking), less weight = not necessarily a slaying, but OP isn't winning without a absolutely horrible driver in the T/A.
