Red October is a know it all. Just got his job in the district as the lead IT trouble shooter and thinks he is the man, because our computers are always breaking and we depend on him. He is cool, but is just so arrogant. Red is so certain that his car is the sh_t. I need to renew my plates tomorrow and then air it out a bit, then I plan on meeting him for the cold war. Will be taped.

Did you see the OP's mods? he already has a cam. and a bunch more. The 5.0 will need least full bolt ons and some great tires and gears to have a chance to hang on a roll race or dig. Not to mention he better be able to drive his *** off.

His mods.
99 z28 m6 stripper, lca, pro kit springs,TA, paces. coated race headers, tsp duals, 231 cam, dual v. springs, tit. retainers, ls6 intake, dual timing chain, fast toys ram air, whisper lid, shaner s2 TB, asp pulley, HP Tuners, nitto DR rear slicks, F1 from tires, collector ed. rims, magn. wires, harlan shift light, adj. panhard bar.,

I would run him from a dig first. FActory tires suck on the mustangs. Skinny and slick as ****. He will blow them off. Then when he loses let him try to make it up with a roll race. Again he will still lose and most likely spin again cause he will have TC off. If he leaves it on. The TC will cut the throttle once it spins a little and you still win.
This post is just a bunch of bs bush beating. What you really want to say is the mustang is slower, but you just can't bring yourself to do it without adding 15 asterisks.

The mustang is stock..It should be slower then the OP's car.

After all some one posted stock is how you get from dealer. Ford installs SC at the dealer on even new 5.0's. With a warranty and all. So that blower would be stock.

Dealers can also add an aftermarket lift kit to Trucks, doesnt make it stock. But we should ALL realize, that in this case, with the OP's mods, this shouldnt even be a topic. We should have a pool going, as to how many cars the Ls1 is gonna win by!

I want to calculate the odds of victory or defeat. What do you think? I am game, but I hear the new 5.0s are pretty quick.
it depends on whether or not you are a better driver. if you are equal or better its not really a race. youll will by busses.

Lol.. I know a guy that owned a trans am 35th Ann clone and a 350z... He upgrade the trans am to an ls3 vette and a v6 5th gen.

He's a cool guy though.. Loves/enjoys cars, just not modding so much.

Are you for real ? Your wife took a position at a dealer and you are that dense ?
