Default Probable kill???

My dad just bought a wrecked '00 Mustang GT convertible. He has a rebuilders license and needed work. Anyways, I have a 95 Trans Am with Ram Air, K&N, Hypertech Programming, descreened MAF, and no cats. I run pretty good and get nice traction with my almost new tires. My high end has really improved with these mods. My question is, can I expect to show my Ford-Loving brother that my TA is faster than this GT? We're both auto and the GT will be stock except if we decide to get a catback for it. Even then, how would I do?

I think you have the upper hand,but I have to call it a drivers race if he gets a catback and really good traction,run him and find out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

You should kick his ***- I sell Fords and all stock GT's are slow. I'd expect him to be high 14's at best stock. Place your bets!!
