What all do you have done to your car, and what car are you in?

305, prob at the wheels depending on how many miles are on the engine i give the car an estimated guess at 280rwhp but hey it dosent matter how much power he has the ? is can he drive that will tell you a whole lot about how the race is going to go.

really...305, damn...i drove it and it pulled pretty good, but i didnt think it had that much...i just have a 98 gt with the bolt ons, but its his first stick and hes been driving it for like two weeks and i have had my car for 2 and half years(so i guess i have a driving edge). thanx guys for your feedback

I thought around 255-260 rwhp was typical stock, no?

With just an x-pipe, pulleys, cold air, mass air meter, and throttle body, you should see around 280 RWHP, 290 LBs.

this sounds about right to me as well
also agree that unless he cant drive AT ALL, he's probably going to take ya

but remember that your 98 gt is about pulling 190+ hp to the rear, compare to 265 hp to the rear, even if your friend doesn't know how to take off, he will catch up to u and then pass u.
