That would probably be a pretty close race depending on his gears, but generally the 350 GTA's were high 14's or 15's cars. So you should beat him.

This should be a close race. I think the win will go to the better driver. Good luck.

You have pretty much the best times for a 305 TBI in its most stock form. If you can perform like you do on the track you may have a chance. A poor driver in an L98 should still be able to pull off mid 14's.

You have a nice ET there and I'm not sure what your mods are, but he's got like 340 torque/225hp.
I've seen them run anywhere from mid 14's to very low 15's.
If he gets traction, I think he's got you.
Btw, I believe the 90 GTA's had 3.23 w/ a 350.

I'm also going with the GTA on this one. That's if he knows how to keep his tires in contact with the pavement.

He's got the SD L98 240hp/340TQ. I'm going with the GTA because I'm biased but the better driver will win.

The 350 TPI was mid 14s, It would be a very close race...

they got 2.77 gears standard and the 3.23's with G92....
the 2.77 cars will run 14.50's but the G92 cars will run 2's and 3's all day...

it would be hard to bet against him
