Hmm, he has a 12 Bolt but only exhaust? are you sure he's not lying? but if thats all he has u'll get him, that rear hurt him more than helped him if all he has is a catback, or does he have full exhaust?

You should be able to take him no problem. If its only a catback then you have nothing to worry about.

*agree with above*

He is full of it in one way or another. Even if he has FULL exhaust, drag radials and the 12 bolt he won't be running 12 flat at 118 without a little "go juice".

Either he has more than exhaust/gears or you will drag him on the top end.




This sounds like a really good excuse to order yourself a lid. Can't be <$130 for a solid 0.1/1mph in the 1/4.

if the guy has a 12 bolt i would think he would have a little bit more than a cat back...did you hear any suspicious idle on that engine....this guy could be messing with you...just go race him

No offense but your 2.73 gear sucks ***. I think his gears are going to work you.

Get some 3.42s and kick his ***.

Oooo 2 tenths will really help.

Might as well go with 3:73 at that rate for that extra 1 more tenth for a total of 3.



Kick his *** Seabass!

Damn that's funny!

Odd. Either he is lying through his teeth to sucker you in and has many more mods, or he's as dumb as a post. Don't let him get the best of you.

Tell him: If you say you have those numbers, you are either blatantly lying about your mods, OR you are as dumb as a sign post and have no idea what you car really runs.

my brother has a 95 M6 with CAI, 4.10's, & blowmaster cat-back, and with my 02 M6 with 3.42's, i took him off the line and up top.

with your 2.73's and auto, he'll take you pretty well out of the hole, but if you go 1/4 mile or more, you'll most likely catch up and pass him (assuming all he has is the 4.10's & cat-back, and isn't spraying or anything)
