Just as an example, my friend wanted to race my car from a roll with both cars in 4th gear. I had a bolt-on LS1 (344/356) and he had a bolt-on 350Z (245/230). We were dead even for a good while until my rpm's came up. I was like WTF!? I found out later that 5th gear is 1:1 in a 350Z.

First off, the car is not under 400rwhp (430rwhp). I stated it's 350rwtq @ 2500rpm (peak RWTQ 403). Second, you brought up that I would not pull on you. I stated I was racing a stock car and just as your car has 200rwhp over me, I know guys with 200-300+rwhp over you, that would look at your car as you look at mine.

Dave has no reason to lie. The pedaling thing isnt from loss of traction, but coming off the floor andf back down again with the gas pedal. Whats spo hard to believe? A 420rwhp fbody in 5th gear cant pull a 300rwhp GTO in 4th gear... better rear gearing, more power, less weight... seems like simple math to me.
If I were going to make up a story, it would be a lot better than this.
On the highway from a roll. never even downshifted (5th gear) 70-140. Screwed with him a few times making him think he had a chance and just peddeling to hold him off, floor it and pull on him like a ****..

How about this. I have a buddy with a ~440whp M6 GTO. From 70 Ill get him to go from 4th and his day has a built stroker in a Z running STOCK 3:42s in the rear. The dad will go from 5th. And we can see the results.
Ill see if he feels like doing it.
