WS6 vs GT500 Since the GT500 was bought by my uncle I have wanted to run it. I was sure I would beat him when he was stock. Never got around to racing him while he was stock tho. He ended up doing a few things to the car such as CAI, exhaust, pulley, and 373s in it. Car runs awesome. I figure he is putting down 530 or so from videos I have seen on youtube. Anyways he sold the car to his son(my cousin) and I finally got to race it. The gt500 had a passenger. This is about how it went.
1st race... Started from a 40. We were both in second gear. He nails it then I do without honks. He jumped half a car then I stopped his pull. I shifted into 3rd and start coming back. Then he shifts and I fly past him. ****** goober shifted into 5th instead of 3rd. lol. He said his nerves got the best of him. First time actually racing the car since he bought it.
2nd race... Started from 40 again. I honked this time. Pretty even until 4th when I started to pull. Shut down at 110 cause of a turn on the highway.
3rd race..... Lucky enough to catch a red light. Dig time!!! The light turns green and I let him go. We are both on street tires so we both spun. Since he hasn't had the car very long I wasn't expecting him to do well from a dig. So he takes off first. Both of us spinning. I spun through first and went into 2nd. I started to peddle the throttle and finally got traction and got back into it. By this time he is a car ahead of me. I hit 3rd gear and start to pull on him. Same with 4th. I'm about 3/4 of a car ahead. I usually don't shift into 5th gear at wot but since it was such a close race I went for it. We shut down at around 130 with me a car ahead.
Overall some awesome races. My car shocked my cousin, my other cousin following in his gt, and a friend of ours. They were not quite expecting my cam only ta to beat his pullied gt500. Well it did. I've hurt a lot of feelings with this car but I honestly didn't think I would be out front on this one. Again the gt500 had a passenger. But I wasn't in my racing shoes. Plus I had my back seats and spare tire back in.
First win of the year against a pullied gt500... awesome!

Oh by the way, some people thought I was lying at first because of my track time(12.2 @ 115). This car can run 11s with a 9 inch. I slip the clutch of the line and run 2.0 60' times or worse. Can't afford a rear end right now.

You should of lost, period. There are just pullied GT500's in the 10's, that GT500 could easily run bottom 11's with a mediocre driver and a set of drag radials.
Especially from a roll, you're down 150rwhp and like 180rwtq. Unless you have a ton of weight reduction, you shouldn't win against an equal driver.
sorry, 380rwhp is just nothing these days, you should sell your car.

Yes I probably should have lost. But it's a street race you idiot. Anything can happen. And I should sell my car? lol. you sound like a mustang owner or a jack off.. one of the two.
I was not expecting to win. I said he had a passenger(200+lbs) and he had just bought the car and it was his first real race. Traction was an issue with him too. I'm not acting like I can beat every pullied gt500 out there. Just a fun few races that i had last weekend.

I've had that happen before. Pissed me off! A salesman was trying to sell a new Saleen S281 and I happened to pull up in my 99 Cobra with the procharger whistling. As I pulled up he told the customers "this car would easily outrun this Cobra here". I had my windows down so I heard him. I got out and told him we would go line them up right in front of the dealership and if he could outrun me I would trade in my car and buy that one no questions asked. He declined and said he couldn't do it.

Good races and kill OP! Obviously if the kid keeps the car and learns the ins and outs of it (and maybe gets a better tune?), he will come back and the race will probably turn out differently. "probably". Then you order your next round of mods. lol

Nice kill, man. Hopefully he gets some seat time and really learns how to drive that thing. Once he does you should be in a lot of trouble but until he does, beat him again and get it on video so you have proof that you beat him! 
Just to throw it out there, the pullied GT500s I raced both pulled HARD on me after both giving me the hit. I'd say through third and fourth one pulled about 2-3 cars and the other pulled more. They are fast as hell. And I trap 120ish depending on the weather (best of 121.8 on a cold day at a good track, 117 on a hot day at a shitty track).

Good race, man! Like you said, it was a street race, just because something should happen doesn't mean it will. (For instance, a GT500 making that much power could well have been spinning into 3rd, allowing the TA to pull.)
I want to know what Vin Diesel here drives
