If your a really good driver and hes a really bad driver yeah you can win.


No you should be able to give him a good run dont know if you will win or not it would be close

If you are as good a driver as you are a mechanic you should be alright. Anybody that can squeeze 210 hp out of a cam, intake and carb change can work on my car anytime. Just tell him that his shoe is untied then yell go!! It will work trust me, he is driving a Pontiac.

Yeah, they came with 5.0's and the GTA came with a 5.7. If it is a stock 2 barrel 400 sb you got him beat. They were rated at 265 hp. But like he said, it aint a stock motor for that car so it could have 600 hp.
