Default Fbody vs GTO

around a road course which would really win given equal power between them?
also, given the same suspension mods. i.e. shocks, springs sway bars, could the solid rear keep up with the IRS?

It's really a tossup IMO. If the Fbody driver is that good, he'll give the goat a hell of a run. If he's just mediocre, the gto will wax the track with him.

did you guys miss the "equal power between them"??? the f-body is lighter, if it has the same power, and same suspension mods... f-body will wax some ***

Goats never lose you fools , seriously you can put wider tires on the F-body and its already lighter so I would pick the F-body.

dont have any personal experience with it, but the GTO has IRS. theoretically it should be able to handle better than the camaro, but the camaro is lighter, so who knows.

Ive driven both and i can say the GTO feels like it handles better. Not sure what would happen getting both out on a course though.
