Default 430s vs new 350s

Hey guys I was wondering if our 430 will mess with any of the 350s GS or is doing freeway pulls every time I see there like "no way I'm racing my new ****". Lol.we have a lot of torque and a big ol v8.

Run them! Stock for stock It's a close race till 100+mph where the v8 will let start to pull away.

You should practice gate shifting so you can hold certain gears, it makes it quicker on rolling runs so you don't have to wait for the car to downshift.

Hi, I have a 430 and willing to run someone with a 350. I'd probably lose cuz I think that my previous 98 400 is faster than my current 03 430.

Those GS350s can be very quick. What they lack in torque is more than made up with better gear ratio, an extra cog and more horsepower (~16hp). I normally don't like bench racing, but the GS350 has no problem trapping the 1/4th mile a little over 100mph where our cars are slightly under. That just means their top is as good as ours, if not better. Our 300hp is rated under the old system.
