How long is a piece of string?
Way to many blanks to fill in What power does it make and at what RPM How heavy is the car How tall are the tyres What stall convertor is in it When does the power come in How grippy are the tyres What suspension settings/mods are on the car How good can your mate drive As you can see there are a lot of different things that will affect what the car will run
