Default Got beat lol...

I was out messing around last night and my friend pulls up in his 2006 GTO 6.0... He just got done with doing his long tubes and a tune and already had his cat back and CIA... the car put down 380 hp to the wheels and does low 13's... I dont know what my car will push or what times she will run so we go and find a open back road... He's running his drag radials and im on street tires... I get him from the launch even though we both hooked up and i gat about a car on him off the line, he gets around me at the top of secind and puts about 2-3 cars on me before we shut down... I was actaully shocked i kept up that well considering my car has 142,000 miles on a stock bottom end that has never been re built and no stall....

He had also said some thing about removing some sheild from in front of the gas tank in the trunk and some thing else and said he dropped about 100 lbs earlier that day...
