with your mods there is no way you will beat him...maybe off the line for a lil bit...but if he really has 500+ hp and you have whatever you do with your mods in your sig then he will get you....not to mention how light those cars can be....but hey do it for fun man.....

If it's a 93+ you're probably toast.

Those weigh 2800lbs, with just 330whp they're pretty sick and that's a highly achievable number with just more boost, exhaust, intakes, and a tune. If he's got a single you're done. My best friend had one with a T78 putting down 439whp on pump gas and that thing walked LS1s w/ 150 shots and a cam.

You're only chance is hope he's close to stock and it's from a dig... they can't launch and lag is a bitch.

Hate to break it to ya but guys with 5.4s w/ custom intakes, race gas compression ratios, ridiculous cams and so on are having trouble breaking 500whp naturally aspirated. Your buddy's street car is probably making 375-400 and that's pushing it.

If I lived in stupid communistic Cali I wouldn't own a sports car!!! I would own a freaking Prius or similiar. Getting your FREAKING CAR CRUSHED FOR STREET RACING screw that I would never street race track only.
