The Mustang is a m6 not m5. My 2011 with tune, cai, exhaust went 12.1 @ 118 mph. So I think you will have your hands full.

Chances are very good (not knowing how many miles on your car) you will get your ego bruised when you lose. Maybe widebody kit will give you an edge (sarcasm here)

If he has to talk smack to give himself a boost on his ego, just remind him that he is having to pick on a practically stock C6 that is 7 years old. He can't do that to one of equal year

Should be close if you both can drive.

If he has a full tune with full exhaust and tires you are in for a world of hurt. Just a cat back and intake means you should mop him if you hook. But be prepared if its not till about 80 that you take him.

If you have stock sizes, these tires are actually narrower than the stock RF junk and have very soft sidewalls, smart choice for you would be to swallow your pride and pass.

So he doesn't even know how many gears his car has? Genius!

& if these are trapping better than my C6 w/the same mods, I might have to switch

trade in your LS2 for LS3 with Z51, M6, NPP and wider rear rubber. Or you could just grow up and show the other guy you are more mature than he is...

Just cat back, no tune, stock tires on the 5.0

Am I missing something? since when does 40~ more HP make up for a 600 pound weight difference? This shouldn't even be a contest.
