Default 99 FRC vs. 05+ GT

Well I'm bored so I thought I'd share a story of a friendly race. Well me and my buddies were all socializing and one of them had a blue 05+ GT with exhaust. One of my other friends suggested that we should race, so we caught a light. It turned green and we both took off, we were neck and neck for the first gear (I was spinning, running over sewer lids and pot holes). Once we hit second I jumped and began a steady pull. When I hit third is when I really picked up the pace. By the time I topped out third I hit 110 and started to slow down. I was probably around 4-5 cars ahead or so. I took a ride in his car and was quite surprised; it sems like a good solid 13 second car, a lot quicker than I believed them to be.

Yeah, they're solid mid 13s cars stock, especially the 3.55-geared manuals.

Manual can run the 13. I think the auto runs 14.0.

Automatics have gone as low as 13.6... either one should be running 13s anyday of the week, provided the track/weather conditions aren't complete crap.
