Do I have a chance!

OK, 2 of my friends and I are going to race on the highway.

first car: my car 2001 CL-S bone stock.

second car: 2004 SRT-4 Stage 1,Greddy Type S BOV, custom hard pipes.

third car: 2004 G35 coupe 6MT.

What kind of chance do I have.

First - racing is 99% about the driver....

Second - given similar driving, you haven't a chance in hell....you're gonna get smoked, methinks

If they both miss a shift, then you have a chance.

to illustrate
the 1/4 mile times i have read
I think I have seen 2001 cl type s around 14.7, maybe 14.5??
G35 coupe around 14.1-14.2
srt-4 13.9
srt4 with stage one probably like 13.7 or so with an average driver,
but people have reportedly hit that bone stock

I bought an srt4 recently and have been on the srt websites
I dunno the infinity and acura top speeds,
I have heard stock srts hit around 150-160, but some say the speedo may be like 5mph off up there for some reason

I don't think you have chance..... w/ out a miracle. Good luck, have fun and be safe. No shame in losing to either of those 2 cars.

I've seen countless well-modded SRT-4's at the track (Pacific Raceways and Bremerton Raceways) running mid-14's. VERY hard car to launch properly. If his friend can't shift then you have a chance from a stop to only get beat by a car length or so. If you're going from a roll then the SRT will surely give you a whoopin'. The G35 loses a tiny bit of it's RWD advantage if you go from a roll but it'll still beat you 9 times out of 10.

you don't have a chance. i've had many runs with an SRT4 with just bolt-ons and they pull like crazy. as for the G35C you will also lose. you need to start modding mang!
