Aunt bought a 01 ws-6

Right now, the Ponco would kick your butt, even bone-stock and with the automatic and a clueless driver. Whatever you gain out of the hole, Aunty will reel you back in on the big end, as you already know.

You need some gears, very good traction and a few more bolt-on's to run mid-high 13's, which should put you ahead of the WS-6 automatic, but you're still very vulnerable on the top end (70 mph-up) and could lose there unless you get a huge lead at the start and can hold it.
Her lack of driving skill will help; kill her off the line and hold the lead - if you can. Good luck.
