You should get the kill, just drive it like you should, bang the gears and powershift that shi$. Hell, if he has 300 rwhp then your screwed but why not, just don't put money on it.

If he truly has a 300+ hp GTP, he is running mid 13's. I do not know what kind of time you are running but it should be a fairly interesting race. I had a 1997 GTP. It had a cold air intake, smaller pulley, and a DHP pcm. It also had a cooler thermostat and plugs. The best time was 13.8 through the quarter. Not bad at all for about $400. GTP's can be made quick very easily. For everyone one that you see modified there are about 30 that are just cars that mom is driving to the grocery store. Be careful. You will find one that will open your eyes sometime.

Take care,

David

If he has 300 rwhp he has some serious money in the car, considering it is front wheel drive.

Take care,

I owned a stock 97 GTP (before I graduated to an 03 Cobra). I couldn't hardly hang against stock 99 gt's (course I only tried it once) If that guy is really putting down 300...you'll have a contest on your hands.



A couple hundred in mods, and you would have been beating them.

Take care,

David

Bringing this one back from the dead (only because I saw Sully's post here....another ClubGP guy!!!!)....I've owned a GP, not a GTP mind you, but a GT. Was a member over at CGP for a couple of years until recently when I acquired the Mustang....the GTP's, when modded right, are straight up nasty pieces of machinery...12's are all too common now with GTP's, and more people are bored with those times and shooting constantly for 11's, and getting them too. I would say that a GTP with just intake and exhaust, you would have no problem with...but a GTP well modded is going to be hard to beat, and if it is beaten, it won't be by much. It's mostly about race weight, driver, and mods.

Just FYI, If he claims 300 hp, the stock cobra with no mods pulls 316hp.... and with very small mods the cobra is easy to make faster----dust his ass.....
Three words of advice---
One-----Know your abilities and more important know your car (each one is very different)
Two-----If your afraid to break it, dont race it.... (and)
Three---Drive it like you stole it.... and never look back-----
Good luck---- april

I have never seen a stock 99 or 01 Cobra put 316 to the wheels. They are rated 320 at the flywheel. Most of the stock ones I have seen are in the 270 range.

I have seen others that put down 300 rwhp with full exhaust and intake mods.

I blew right past a GTP in my old cobalt SS/SC.  I know that my cobra is much faster than that, so you should be able to take him easily.

Well, this thread is REALLY old.  Did you win?
