who would win?

so who do you guys think will win?

me-- 06 ss/sc, stock except for a torque dampener. power-of course you all know. rated at 205 hp and 200 tq

him--05 subaru wrx awd, 5 speed, completly stock. power rated at 226 and 224 torque

this will be a 1/4 mile race. i think it should be close. i have been in his car before, he gunned it and he shifts slower than me.

ok lets hear the UNBIASED (if possible) opinons.

I think it'd be a drivers race. I think the Subie should win due to its better power to weight ratio. Plus, he could dump the clutch and get traction whereas you'll just roast the tires.

That's my two cents.

Get a good launch and you will have a good chance of catching him.
(if he shifts slow that is)

i say the best launch takes the race. if he gets a head start on you its gona be hard to run him down cause their awd is amazing. if you leap on him your "faster shifting" should keep you ahead. good luck

You should be able to beat him, but the problem is, if you're not perfect at launching your car you will lose. No matter what he will kill you off the line, he will always be consistant due to the easy launching of his car.

TD will help, but you will probly still slip the clutch and do a little wheel hop. I would say practice before you race him.

the best way to find out is not by asking questions..... you need to get out and race it to find out.... not sit here and ask
