So i have a friend wi a 2001 9-3 veegan saab which is entirly stock. He says he wants to make a run from a 30mph pull up to 100-120. (note. this will be done in a legal safe enviornment.) I have an 88 GT inake exhaust mas air meter 4.10 gears. He runs apx a 14.5 on the track. I have beat him plenty of times on the track, but he says he can beat me on te freeway due to his upper end is supposedly just really strong. I beat him on the track before i did the gears. Does anyone think he has a chance to win the race or am i in he money?

with your t-5 and the 410's you'll get there quick but probably wont be able to go mutch over 140 if that.

500 bucks seems overly confident to me. probably upped the boost or something.

you beat him at the track by how much? did he start reeling you in at the end?

Check for N2O... I just dont get the running for big bucks. $50 is all I'd bet even if I knew I could beat someone. Big money takes the fun out of it for me...

sadly guys we raced it last night and it won...those things pull f*ing hard!!!! Randall and i both ran him to make sure it wasnt driver error...from 30 on he totally wins but from 50 on it's close at first then he starts pulling hard in 5th...i was sad to see the money go flying by...luckily both the boys didnt want to race for that much and ended up only losing 20. So unless you have a cobra dont try veegan!

Your Mustang is basically stock. Does it run 14's at the track? Hadn't both of you run at the track before? The SAAB's trap speed should have been significantly higher than yours to produce the results you described. Either the SAAB driver was letting-off at the track or you were forewarned. You need some additional go fast goodies. It wouldn't take much.

That might be a little extreme, there are a lot of non-Cobra Mustangs that would handily take the Saab. Just not 130k mile '88 GT's....
