Very easy to beat man dont be worried. before i had my blower there was this red 98 trans am that wanted to race me from a dead stop and a roll. i beat him by so many cars off the line that i let off. then from a roll i pulled him like 4 or 5 cars to 100 mph and after that i just coasted. it should be a breeze for you and just remember that its a LT1 which our cars should beat really easily.

97's are LT1's
98's are LS1's

i took a 97 trans am from a 40mph roll when i was in 2nd and instantly i had several car lengths on him. i have it on tape but i cant upload it onto my computer because i dont have the software yet. the guy told me he wanted to sell his car because he lost to a mustang. his was a manual too. advice.....shift as fast as you possibly can lol

98-02 camaro's/trans am's have 6 spd's and if the only mods you have are intake lt's and o/r h I believe he will walk you, but goodluck and race him anyway.
