A guy at work just picked up an 06 gxp and I can tell hes trying to subtly goat me into lining up. I would asume that stock he's got me from a dig and all the way flat out even with him being front wheel drive? He claims 300+ hp stock and 0 to 60 in 5.6. Thats moving for a front wheel drive four door sedan if the claims are true.
I know hypotheticals are kinda silly but "hypothetically" what would I need in mods, based on the most commonly done around here, to assure a hands down win light to light?

I must admit the sly comments about how " thunderbirds used to be cool back in the day" from the owner of a four door front wheel drive automatic that can beat a sc kinda sting.

Whats the recipe to beat this car?

You lose. Something like 305 hp and yes 0 to 60 around or below 6 flat. Quarter mile low 14s. You need intake mods, blower mods, some head and exhaust work and a trans that you can shift.

Those cars are no joke. They have a 5.3 LS4 V8. I feel like my car could beat one but it would be really close (check my garage to see the mods I have.)

Gears, tune, blower pulley/upgrade to a 94-95 style rotor pack, port heads and exhaust upgrade. Just throwing 4.10s in might win light to light.

I ran 14.5s (not corrected magazine times, so compare to 14.0-14.2 posted times) with my 91 5spd after gears, ported heads, exhaust, tuner and 94 stock blower upgrades on 225 street tires.

There's always cheating... let about 15-20 psi of air out of his front tires. :)
