what to think?

A stock GT won't beat you unless you REALLY can't drive.

You'll have a little trouble with some Z28s (the LS1s). With some driving skill, you should win at least half the races against the LS1 Z28s ('98 and up), though.

You cannot put a set 1/4 mile time on cars b/c much depends on driver, etc. For example, let's just say Cobras and LS1 Z28s run a 1/4 mile ET range of 13.6 to 14.2. Some are even slower, some faster.

It does kinda piss me of when people with GTs, for example say stuff like "I can run 13s flat (that's 13.00) without ANY mods at all."

It's NOT gonna happen.
