Question How would I do against a Supercharged 96 Mustang GT.

My friend has a 1996 Mustang Gt with a PowerDyne Supercharger BBk Headers Dual Flowmasters and BFG Drag Radials, stock trans with a shift kit.
My mods are a 2002 Z28 M6 Whisper Lid ,Cutout, Nitto DR's and a Flowmaster 80 series I plan on doing Duals or GMMG in the future. I just wanted to know how well I would do against his Supercharged Gt. Also more or less how much horsepower do you think he is pushing to the rear wheels.

I agree with hacking off the chockmaster but I just bought my Nitto DR's so I am a little broke right now. What mods should I do next I plan on LCA's and a PanHard Rod next because I get alot of wheel hop when I dump the clutch off the line. So I have to more or less ride the clutch on the start. I have to admit the Nittos have help alot then the stock Goodyear Eagle ZR tires.

Lets see, a 4.6L supercharged, headers, and Tires stang that should be running mid 13's - Low 13. VS your Z with Lid, cutouts. Exhaust and NITTOS. On an average stock Z M6 should be pulling 13.7, but in this case ur z should be at 13.2 - 13.3 @107MPH so its a very close race it will depned on who's the better drive.



You better beat him or else

Well lets see. A 96gt auto stock runs low 15's at best. So with his mods he should be in the 13.5 range. With your cutout open and if he has the stock verter i think you will win by a few cars. From a roll you will have no problem. If it were a 98+gt he would take you..

Hmm if wacko is a good driver I would think he could pull high 12s. I think you will pull him FWIW. Good Luck

You'll rape him. Those stangs are ****** slow, and Powerdyne is a blower that can't RPM worth a ****. I'd say he's in low 13s at best. Race him for money, I guarantee you'll take him.

If you wanna do forced induction, spend the money. Don't be cheap when it comes to a blower.

I think you will beat him by a couple of cars unless there is some hiddin mod that mysteriously produces 150 hp that you don't know about. I would race him for money too if he was game. I think you can take him pretty easy if you can get off the line. If you go from a roll you should be able to beat him no matter what.

Does it suffice to say that you will reimburse him when he loses?

Shiiiit, you can make fun of me right now, why wait?

But if stang is tuned worth a ****, the guy can drive, the moon is aligned with Mars and my left nut drops by Tuesday, then the stang will win!
