My buddy has a 92 SHO 5 speed with 100,000 miles on it, and i want to race him. My SE only has 3500 miles on it so i am not sure if i will be able to take him yet. I want to race him from like 75 to 120. I got 2 more hp, but his engine is broken in, mine is still a baby. Thanks for the advice.

 

If he is running a y-pipe, It would be close. The '92 is a little bit heavier than the '89-'91 so go for it. If he is stock, race him! I assume you have a 5 speed, otherwise don't.

I doubt it would make much of a difference if he's 5 speed or stock if they will be racing from 75 to 120. Does it matter at those speeds?

 

greggmax-ya' have a valid point...

 

YES...it does still matter. 5sp are generally faster EVERYWHERE....at all speeds/rpm.

5sp's get more power to the ground. As he is running through 3rd you would be 3rd in an auto. The auto has a taller/harder gear than the 5sp. Thats strike one for it. Even if the ratio was the same the 5sp would get more of the power to the wheels as less is lost on the internals.

I agree Mike, if you have a slush box...GOOD LUCK!!! If you have a stick, it would be very close; It would probably come down to driver ability.

 

I have a 01 5 speed. I am also a better driver than him so i think i can kick his a$$. Thanks guys
