I have never run it so I figured 12's was a safe guesse but based on all the magazine articles i should be atleast 2 seconds faster then stock.

Do you even know what a stock GXP runs? I used to own an '07 TBSS. I had a few mods on it and it was not as quick as my GXP was when it was stock... and it ain't stock now.

I'll put it to you this way. I hope that CAI and exhaust he's running added 200hp because if it didn't, he'll be hard pressed to even get a glance of my kids' car seats in the back as I blow past him.

Thanks, Shawn! It sucks that you'll be out of town. I'm trying to get the rear suspension wrapped up before then. I hope the weather is good.

Maybe I'll even put some life-like dolls in the seats and see what the tech inspector does.

If it is written it must be true. Look at F/S. All stock 5.0's runnig low 10's spinning 9k rpm. I got you guys covered easy. 6 liter has to make more power then your 5 liter engines.

If you are refering to "F/S" as NMRA Factory Stock cars, you should do a little more research. The quickest "F/S" car in the country recently ran a 10.89. And that was with E7 heads... although, you can hardly classify those cars with the word "stock" at all! That is no easy feat, and I know they are no where near 9K. Your SS may be quick, but I think you are about to bite off more than you can chew saying you will take Dave's GXP by more than a car length with the mods you listed for your SS.

What Shawn said. Assuming that you're being truthful about your mods, you're the one that's going to get sawed off.

The second and only rule would be know your competition. My car is an open book. I would be certain to check over his ride before any money was laid down. Why do you think I added "assuming that you're being truthful about your mods"? Its pretty clear that he's hiding something. Either that or he just acting like a fool thinking he could beat my GXP with a basically stock TBSS.
