My chances?

[Joshta]

First off, please don't say just race em; we will eventually.

i have an 02 GT auto with flows and filter. my buddy just bought a 96 Z28 6-speed which sucks for me. he has an CAI and i believe a LT4 intake. His LT1 was recently rebuilt. I know i'm outpowered, but as far as times go, how bad? And what would it take to make them even?

[camaroincal]

You would prolly run somewhere in the mid 14's in the 1/4 mile, if you're an average driver.

The Z28 would prolly run a low 14 with an avg. driver. So, if you out-launch him, or if he misses a shift, it will be pretty close I'd say.

[camaroincal]

Then again, if he has 2.73 gears and you have like 3.27's, I'd give the edge to you.

ud give him the edge? hes not running mid 14's with with a 02 auto gt with exhaust. probaly around 15 flat and 2.73 to 3.27 is only gonna give him like a 5 hp feel difference. i definatly say the Z28 will win

[Joshta]

just for information i have 3.27s and he has like 3.42s.

[Demonhunter]

get a cheap 75hp shot of ebay and beat him. With that auto you sucky sucky his tailpipe

99-04 GT auto's will run mid 14's all day long, chip em so the ECU controlled auto has more punch low 14's are easily achievable

[SMOKINGZ28]

I definetly think he would take you especially if he just had his engine rebuilt, if he has a lt4 intake he might have his lt1 converted into the lt4 and he would defitnetly spank you

[Joshta]

he's a good friend of mine. He bought a LT4 intake when the shop broke his intake fixing an oil leak on his 250 mile motor.

Say i got 4.10s and a chip, would it be a good race?

[SMOKINGZ28]

You should just start off with a cai, headers, y pipe, catback, 4.10's and a chip and you would get him

[neatofrito1618]

UDP's would be cheaper then headers and would have more gains

A STOCK 96 Z28 WILL BEAT YOU, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 6sp!!!
I believe they had 285hp and he has a stick! You have 260hp+15(maybe 15) with an auto! So let's say you have 270-275hp but you lose more power through the auto. Don't forget your buddy has upgrades also! So he's probably pushing 300-325? He also doesn't lose as much power with the stick, plus he has better gears. Those Z's run high 13's stock all day, and someone mentioned stock Stangs (99-04) run low-mid 14's all day, that's true. So get 4.10's, chip and that should make it a good race. Oh, don't forget pulleys (about 10hp). Good luck, you'll need it. I know they are on the dark side, but they are fast!!

[giddyup50]

Oh, I meant you have 260+15, 15 more hp with filter and mufflers, not with the auto....sorry.

[eillob]

My answer is D, all the above.
Your definately gonna have to bring more to the table than flows and filter, 4.10 gears and a chip are mandatory and even then I wouldn't get too comfortable. Sticky tires and a little giggle gas like someone else mentioned should do it.
