Neighbor wants to race!
So my neighbor who I never talk to comes up to me today asking about my car. Now he is a much older guy, in his 40's so to him these cars are "gay". He owns a 97 mustang gt (5-speed) and wants to give me a run next week. He isn't stock, has x-pipe, borla exhaust, intake, chip, headers, and some other ****. (Not too up to date with mustangs) Anyways he is talking all this ****, and I was wondering if I had a chance against him. His car sounds mean as ****, it’s not turbo or anything but still.... By the time we run I should have my Fujita intake, but that’s all. So... do I have a chance?

you have no chance wit just an intake...plus hes an older guy so i'll just sterotype him and say he knows how to drive his car...
the race would be a waste of gas after you shift into second....
get S2 and a smaller pullet and other bolt ons like said earlier. its just a walk in the park for the GT.

If he has upgraded PI H/C/I then he should be pretty quick. The PI H/C/I is whats in the 99-04 GTs and thats is a pretty popular and fairly cheap mod to do on those cars. They make more power with just that than a stock 99-04 because they have a higher CR. Add that to a full exhaust, gears, CAI, and tune it should be a solid 13sec car.

Wow... WEIRD.
All the Cobalt guys are saying it'll be tough or that the Cobalt will probably lose, and the Mustang guys are saying the Cobalt has a good chance.
Hell has frozen over
