I would not call someone driving a 50k car a "dumbass".....

P.S. don't race a GS 400.....

I was dead even once with a GS400, and I have an auto with Headers and Intake, so I think a well driven 6-speed should be very close- Probably be able to keep up with a GS400/430, but I doubt it could "smoke" it

400/430 is pretty damm quick if slightly modded..

I can't wait to find out.
I think it will be the same result, cause most people cannot drive high hp manual cars. The limited slip will help a bunch on the launch ONLY if he does not rev it too high. I think most people have a better chance winning a straight line in an auto than a stick.
