"You should be able to take him 0-60 and probably even 1/4 mile.
Your time should be quicker, but he may have a higher trap speed by the end.
Unfortunately, from a roll, the Camero SS has a huge advantage (read torque) and on any long run at high speeds he should catch and eventually pass you."

"FWIW- a stock WRX can hold of a C5 til about 80-85mph......trust me, ive seen it first hand. As long as the wrx gets a great launch, and the C5 gets an OK one...."


well that does it for me instead of a vette I'm getting a WRX

I like the guy who said he beat one till about 85, then shut it down.

I think most AWD guys are retards. I mean, why not race to 15 mph. They are sure to win that one.
