06' GTO VS 03' Lightning

Whats up guys. Well a buddy of mine at work and I have been talking trash for many months now. He has an 06' GTO stock. I have a 03' Lightning with a 6 Lb pulley, K&N air filter, chip, tuned, and headers. And a few months ago I just got a new torque convertor and it feels awesome. He says he can take me. What do you guys think? Thanks

Is he Auto or stick?

Either way I would say you have him no problem at all. Go from a stop. No 60 mph to whatever rolls lol.

it depends if its a ls1 or ls2. i beat my friend with a 5.7 from a 70 punch because he knew i would dominate him from a stop and thats the only speed he would race me from. automatics are faster from a stop than sticks he told me. i have 6 pounder filter and tune making 400 rwhp. if its a 5.7 race him from a stop and it wont be close.

With slicks, I beat one by 2 lenghts in the 1/4. He had an 06 with the 6.0, intake/exhaust.

It will be close. Race him from a dig and you should win with a decent launch. From a roll he may take you. Good Luck and be safe!

Oh he'll have a few problems.

Those LSII engines are awesome even bone stock.

I think he'll get you.

I agree....I don't think it'll be as easy as many think (if you do win). The Goats are fast.

Are you already qualified to give advice?

If so what do you think is the best motor oil for my Lightning?

Thank you,
