Thinkin bout goin to the 1/4 track this Saturday, wht could my T/A run?

Hey guys a bunch of my friends and I are thinkin about hitting up the 1/4 track this saturday and i jus wanted to know about where i would stand.

1995 Trans Am T-Tops
61,304 Miles
Tires were new when i got them, Rs have a lil less thread than Fs do now
Automatic w/ Performance Mode Button (Redline shifts, shift to 2nd around 70mph)
My only mod is a K&N FIPK that I just found out was on the car when i bought it lol

Any guesses where i would stand ET and Trap Speed wise? A friend of mine says I'll be lucky to hit high 14s lol (he drives a bmw 328i)

Oh and heres a stupid q maybe, some guy i know wants to race me for $20-$50 and i wanted to know how that would go?
2003/04 VW Jetta 5-spd manual
1.8 Turbo Engine
Some racing rims and summer tires
He just got his new ecu upgrade, supposedly hes running 19 psi to stock turbo now and says 220hp/215tq (his guesstimate, no dyno, stock was 150/150 i think or 180/170 according to msn autos)
That is his only mod besides the tires and a stage 2 clutch (I think, friend told me but not 100% sure)

So Do i have myself a tank and a half of gas for sure or what? We're gonna race either at the 1/4 track or do a 20-30 roll or somethin.

Thanks in advance,
Ado

You should be able to spank that jetta, they run like mid 15s stock, you should easily hit 14s depending your traction. i am also going to the track with a bunch of friends saturday. Rt 66? in joliet
