2000GT Convert can it hang with me??

Okay, my turn.

First of all, like many others have already stated, this is gonna be a close race (both 5 speed manuals). However, I'm gonna have to put my bet on the 88 GT b/c:

1) Lighter
2) 5 speed manual (if it were AOD, it'd be different)
3) 3.73s
4) Other minor mods.

This is all assuming EQUAL driving skill. Now I have to say I COULD imagine it like this:

Both come off the line at the same time, but the 88 GT gains about 1/2 car length through 1rst and 2nd gear. Then at about mid 3rd gear, 2001 GT starts reeling him in and by 88 GT's 4rth gear, 2001 GT has him by a front bumper.

I'm still placing my bet on the 88 GT though.
(but it's hard to ******* tell b/c I haven't seen Mad Horse's GT run. (arrgh)

Don't screw up Mad Horse
