It depends..... the first gen would destroy you.... but if it was a 1995 or 96 its possiable..... those years are pretty bad.... Plus it's front wheel drive too so it could be a drivers race... I have raced a fwd 95 talon with a 16g w/down pipe and exhaust.. he ran a 15.0 and I ran a 14.6 back than. So I won. I say race him... Just make sure you get out on him... dont spin or come out hard... or your over.... I have seen 15 second cars beat 13 second cars because of the driver. I have a friend with a 2002 Covette that ran 14.7 all day at the track lol.... He should be low 13's high 12's stock.....
