Default 99 Expresso VS 03 Grand prix gt?

There's a guy talking alot of trash about neons in my class, and I was wandering if there's any truth to it. He seems to think he has the GTP engine in his GT grand prix (supercharged VS non), and keeps calling my car a slow pos... his car has around 100k miles on it, looks stock, sounds like the Alternator is whining instead of a supercharger. Dual coffee can exhaust tips. Mine has about 165k on it, DOHC, 5 speed (performance B trans), 14" bubble wheels with new all seasons, UDP, 3.0 CAI, MM inserts, and a semi solid bobble...
Oh and we both have a system in the trunk.

Think I've got a chance in a 0-100 run, or should I just stfu?

you got it off the line to about 70mph...then he'll fly by you...but the neon is really good off the line...especially w/ fresh rubber and solid mounts.

Edit: I had my friend's Tbird SC up till then...he couldn't get off the line as fast...too heavy I had minor mods, CAI, mounts, headders, he had 3.6 V6 supercharged 5spd. w/ 30% undersized pulley on the supercharger.

So is it worth throwing a benny down on a 0-65 or 1/8th mile race, or would that danger this months booze fund?

if its supercharged or not he's got ya above 70... those 3.8s really come alive above 60 or so... but in an 1/8 mile race or 0-65 your probably got a decent chance of winning but remember it also depends on how good of a driver you are and how good he is...

The dude weighs at least 280... Im almost half that. His idea of a launch is flooring it as fast as you can. I'm not saying I'm a professional or anything, but I can drive. So even though he cant drive, his car is faster and will win? Dang, that sucks.

Default Neon Vs GT

Only the GTP were supercharged, you should be good to at least 60, then wave good bye.
