But before that, I'd like to do a quick little bench race and see what you guys think. Now seeing my car's numbers and everything (and knowing that my 14.8 time came from shifting way too late at 6k RPM), how do you guys think my match-up this weekend with the 98 Mustang GT is gonna go down? He's got the 4.6 with a CAI, exhaust, and some 3.73 gears he thinks (maybe 4.10s, he's not sure), and a tune. He runs a 18x10.5 tire in the rear, so he's got more meat on the ground than my 275/40/17s. How close is this race gonna be, seeing as his car is factory rated at less HP at the flywheel than I'm putting on the ground? Lol
Note: He's also never been to the track before or ever raced his car, so he's not going to have any prior track driving experience, but I'm gonna try to help him out with some tips to see just how close a race we can get.
