it should be close, 05's run high 13's and if you drive your car right you should be able to run that also

What do you mean caught 3rd? As in spun the tires? I'm not to sure you have 250 at the wheels, seems a little high. BUT.......... the 05's don't put out like they should with 300hp. I think if you're gonna have a chance, you're gonna have to launch good and hit every gear just right. They are supposed to run mid 13's stock, I've seen it, the ones running high 13's aren't the greatest drivers.

lol, even w/ his mods and great driving skills, he won't break 13's. :Zip2:

don't bet on beating an 05 GT w/ those mods you listed... they're putting out way more than your car--300 hp.

05's are around 260-270rwhp and run mid-13's at 104mph.

Your not likely to beat one given equal drivers.

An 05 Gt can pull 2.0 60fts. stock.
