Well you have to pick who you toy around with, some GT's will eat you alive, others yeah you could probably give them a run for their money.
I just saw a new Charger on the highway Sunday night that had a number in its window from running, and the dial in was 13.94, so I was like wow I could hold with a Charger if I wanted to play with him (Note this was a female drive, I'm not sure if that's an average time for those cars or if she just doesn't know how to drive).
BUT I'm now almost positive that my car will no longer keep up with something like that... I added 14lbs of rotating weight to my drive line by upgrading my brakes from 10.2" to 12" F-body ones... As Geoff said, no glory without sacrifice. In my mind the bigger brakes are well worth it, especially since I can easily squeeze more power out of my engine over the winter after I'm done fooling around with the nitrous this year
