Default auto 95 3000gt Vs. manual 08 tC?? who would win

hey whats up
my cousin just bought a auto 95 3000gt non vr4 last week and keeps talking junk about my car but i keep telling him that i could probably walk him easy with my tC... he thinks his new car the fastest thing ever on 4 wheels lol

i personally think i would have to miss like 2 gears for him to beat me, im not one for racing much so i probably wont go out and find out the real outcome for a few months but it still be nice to have something to throw in his face in the mean time if i am right

what do you guys think would happen if we race?

They're heavy for what they are. It's a drivers race, at least for you. All he has to do is mash the gas. What a valiant display of skill.

just an update ... took him by over 2+cars...he got a good launch and stayed pretty close off the line his nose was to my door ... then i pulled ahead a bit more about 1/2 a car and stayed even in our spots till around 50mph after that i started pulling on him up till 90 where i shut it down and he did the ricer fly by lol... apparently they have a horrible top end


o i found out he also had just put in a new downpipe and midpipe or something like that which is supposed to adds like 15whp

As far as 300GTs are concerned, pretty much all NAs are dogs. Big, heavy, underpowered.
