My first car was a auto 96 RS camaro they do pretty good they come with 200 hp out of the 3.8 and the 93 to 95's come with the 3.4 with about 160 hp. I think u should be able to take him if u launch on him good off the line u might want to do some of the free mods like porting and polishing ur TB and also fill in ur motormounts so u can get a good launch.

good luc
