Well since I hate the eclipse you automagically win. Seriously though Id say you will win especially from a dig because those fwd cars love to sit and spin.

I doubt that the Eclipse weighs less than the Vette unless he has done some weight reduction. Even if it does weigh 200 pounds less you will still smoke him.

With an automatic and a 2.73 rear I say race him from a dig. That’s the only real way to race anyway; right?

You have a Vette AND an LS1 you my friend are invincible!
