he better have a blown stroker or something to run 9's, but i wouldnt bet on beating him either way. He should be able to outrun you from a 40 stock. Bolted he should walk away from you easily. Unless you have a pulley/tune i dont see in your sig...

the s197 stangs will take a stock-ish SS quite easily. they are known to run mid-high 13s stock, 300hp and 300tq. with stage 2 vs stock GT might be a good race.

basically, i think he's got you. most likely not a 9 second machine, but he'll take you.

anyways good luck and let us know the outcome

I'll second everything that has been stated already..

Unless you've got a pulley and tune of some kind I think he'll get you easily, even stock.

With just Stage 2 I pull dead even with them stock from 40.

I seriously doubt he's got a 9 second car but hey.. never know.

if hes got a 9 second car n is running street tires when he runs u.. he will probably have a problem catching traction b4 he blows your doors off.

more than likely his ***** nuts and bolts but even so its a fucken v8 no way and i already know its automatic but that wont matter cus when that huge hunk of fiberglass get movin you wont be able to catch him so you best bet is to use you comp modes and jump oout in front as fast as possible without blowing up and given it all you got but he is gonna blow your doors off tho..

i know a chick that has a mustang gt and i drove it...that **** weighs like 23948239842934889234lbs

WTF? all I managed to gather from that is V8=uuber?

Just because it's a V8 doesn't make it fast.

Good luck man, I myself have raced several new GT's and have beaten all of them from a roll..2 of them I know for sure were stock auto's..the other was an M6, and had that kick ass duck-tail fin on the back.. got them all from a roll by half a length or so. That's when I was stock w/ airbox mod.

*puts on the flamesuit*

IF... that Stang really does run 9's... with that...
IF... he can drive at all and feather the throttle enough to get SOME traction....

No freakin way in all hell are you going to even THINK about touching that car...

stock ss/sc = 100mph trap at best.

stock s197 = 105-106 trap at best.

100 is an INSANELY slow trap for an s197. they RAPE PI gt's and those are a good race for stock ss's.

Yeah, they're not all that special. It takes someone of pretty decent driving knowledge to get the full potential out of that vehicle IMO.

But anyway, I highly doubt its a 9 sec car if its his DD. But even with that being said i would say he will walk you like your not even moving.
