Ok, A kid I know has a 69 firebird with a 389 that has been stroked out. Its auto and we estimate that it has some where around 350 hp. He runs a high 12. But he needs suspension. When ever he takes a corner the rear end lifts up and to one side. He also has a 3.42 gear. He has Nos on it and he runs a high 10 when it is engaged.
my car is a 87 iroc 350\350hp with a 5speed.
I have a 3.45 gear ratio.
Some people that have ridden in my car and rode in his also say I can take him. Untill his gives it NOS anyway. But im racing him all motor if I deicde to race.
However I dont think I can.
Can you shed some light on this and tell me what you think and how close would it be.

I personally think with 350hp and a 5-speed you should take him. Your car should go high to mid 12s, with traction, but you also have to worry about driver error. The auto won't miss a shift, and you would have to nail each shift to stay in it. If you do that you should take him, but race and tell us how it goes.
will do.
have to wait tell winter is over though.

Believe me I hate living in the North section of the country. No good racing on the track or the street.

Gotta love that Firebird though. Especially if he has that 400 hood! That is bad ace. But, you have a nice car, but what is the traction situation on both sides? That would play a good deciding matter.
both of us have bad traction.
but. he has spon the tires so much has has no tread and they are about ready to blow.Its a very high 12. last time he went he got a 13.
