My beautiful bride bought a Sky Redline...we have not raced,but, seat of the pants testing says it will be a close race. If you do not get a great launch - it will be lights out for a stock SS/Sc, very very close for one with Stage II. Side note - if you are counting on a Sky driver to miss a shift, beware, it may have an automatic tranny -5 speed.

I was one car behind one when he gunned it once... even or so for about a second then I just started to rip on him. I finished 2 up from 40-100.
Had another one riding my ass on the interstate for MILES, with PLENTY of opportunities to pass... so I dropped it into third and waited a second so that he knew my intentions... he got REAL close to my ass... and I gunned it. He stayed close for a few seconds... then I started ripping away from him.
I've got CAI, Stg 2, 2.8", GMPP Header, GMPP Performance Cat-Back... I dyno'd 263whp too.
If you have anything more than JUST Stg 2... you should handle them pretty easily.
I'd like to get a more formal race with one... just to see... maybe I'll go troll the GXP forums or something... lawl!

I played chase with one on rt. 28 once but it got to dangerous so I stepped down. It def. at least had an exhaust.
So really not a good way to tell how it would compete.
