good luck! let us know how you do. if you car ran anything like zac's my bet is your going to slay him. especially if you can hook up, cause youve got rwd, and he's fwd, so youve got the advantage. he prolly has slightly more hp. especially with the nitrous, but i think it will be a good race.

Sorry, but you are going to lose. A stock TII with a ported wastegate, fcd and 3-1/8" single exhaust will run a 9.3 in the 1/8th mile. Btw, 8.2 is not a slow time compared to most other street cars. You will need a turbo and 275-300 hp to beat that time. Good luck and let us know how you so, win or lose.
