#1141, "Could I beat him?"


          

My cousin is coming in soon with his 2002 Grand Am GT 4 door auto. Is there any chance in hell I could beat him in a race with my mods? Thanks

No, You have no chance they are too fast they run like mid to high 15's stock I think and looking at your Mods you probably run like low 17's maybe high 16's. We have over 300 lbs on them. I'm no expert though but you probably have a better chance if it was an SE.

I beat a 4 door auto GT Grand AM before. I barely beat him, but it was a win nonetheless.

depends on your performance mods. they run 15.9 in the 1/4, so there is a good chance you could.

It should be really close. Being its a 4 door, its a little heavier than the 2 door(duh), so it prolly runs very low 16s. With your mods, your car should be just under 16. I would think as long as you get a good jump and dont miss a gear, you should win.

No shit. A stock RS 5-speed with a good driver should get in the 16.3-16.5 range. Also, we dont have 300lbs on them. They are heavier than us. I spanked one's ass by several car lengths on video tape last year. I should put all my tapes together and make one long tape and sell it as some underground racing shit. }> Naa. My luck I'd get busted.
