Well if your signature is accurate, and what he says is true, its a matter of weight ratios.

Keep it off the street. And choose lose if you wish to pass his course. ;)

Sorry to say but your L48 wouldn't stand much of a chance againt the German "Pacer" wonderkar. The better race would be a performance C2/3 Vette or any C4 but the 1984 model, it would be no contest!

Take off the sheep-skin seat covers. That will help!

yes my signature is accurate. He asked how much my car weighs and i said i think its 3600 pounds and he said that his is probably more like 3900 or more. We wont be racing on the street, well not side by side. I'm gonna let him borrow my gtech and i will do mine afterwards.

gotchashawn- those arent seat covers man :lol:

solidLT1- the engine in my car is not the L48, its a built up 350. I dont know how good DD2000 is but it gave me 330HP for my buildup.
