This race has already happened.... Let me know what "should/has" happened and I will post results. It was not what we expected.

I'll give the CTS-V the edge just on HP alone. I'd say ~2 cars. I feel once the launch is taken out of the equation, and both cars are moving from an equal speed, weight doesn't play nearly as much of a factor. Just curious though, that gears does the M6 TA come with? I'm sure it's higher that 3.23s. I'm thinking 3.73.

I'm guessing the TA is yours and even though the CTS has the 400 horse LS6
vette engine....from a roll you probably out drove him and I'd bet the race
was a dead draw.......

Unless the CTS-V driver is braindead, he'd start from 2nd and should pull you. Its a bit high in the 2nd gear, but its way too low to start in 3rd. 45 or 65 rolls would have been the 2nd and 3rd spots for the V. I'm guessing the 50 roll is the TA's spot?

He should have pulled on roll, lost on dig.

Done this with a stock stalled auto car & the V1 took it by roughly 1-2 cars.

With a T56 in both cars, I'd say it would come down to the drivers.

I dunno. I pulled pretty good on a stock one in a car that trapped 110ish at the time. I'd say the wsex pulls 2 cars

Never raced with me shifting 100%.. Normal shifts (lifting gas/using clutch fully) I pull roughly 1.5-2 lengths depending on the race.. The lower the race starts the more I pull.
