Default Help with car

I raced a 07 mustang today and we did from a stop he beat me i couldnt hook.
So 2nd race from a roll in first gear i jump like 1 car in front of him but once the car shifted to 2nd it pulled so slow and i only got about half a car more in like 1/8 race whitch is pretty sad on my part.
My question is what can i do to the auto 05 to not just beat him but to smoke him.

You should have smoked him stock. Are you running premium?

Whatever you do, save it for the track. Street racing is a non starter for anyone who is sane.

References to street racing on the forum are verboten. Read the rules and take it to the track!

This is besides the point, I just want to know what to do to the car. Perhaps exhaust,CAI, and a good tune will really wake her up?

I will let the other address street racing. We all know street racing happens, but somehow or another it is forbidden on this site.

Your car stock for stock should spank him pretty good. If you can't hook, then leave at a lower rpm.

The car shifting slowly is probably addressed in this thread.

Good luck and keep it on the track.

What was your 1/4 mile time? There are some supercharged stangs out there that will blow the doors off a stock vette.

I have the 4 speed transmission. I dont think it worth trading the car in to get a 6 speed, but perhaps it is? If i can get better time in this 4 speed for way cheaper then i think ill go that route.

Are you sure it wasnt a GT500? I only managed to put a car on one of those in my stock 6spd. If it was just a GT he was modded or you are running on 6 cylinders.
