It is idiotic because we're talking about a 30000$ souped up econobox (even Mitsubishi states this) vs. a lighter, higher HP, purpose built sports car. What's next, a Ralliart vs. Ferrari debate?
You stated that a RA wouldn't stand a chance, when in fact it does.
A car won't drive without a driver, so when it comes down to it, it is a drivers race.
Just some drivers are given a handicap with a more expensive/faster cars.
On paper the Vette should win, But its not hard to give up a second at the drag.

No it doesn't, going from a best of 13.5 to 12.4 is a big leap. It's not a driver's race since the cars are over a second apart. If you honestly believe they are close, you're very naive and should go post that in the Corvette forums.

Yep it sure is stupid to say that a 13.X second car isn't as fast as 12.X second car, damn math, always gets me. I never knew that 13=12.

Fact of the matter is there are plenty of Vettes that run mid-low 13's. No matter if you like it or not, good or bad driver. Just like I seen the 09RA's do low 15's.

But my initial statement was that a "lightly" modded RA (AMS RA) vs a Vette , would be a better race and the RA would indeed stand a chance.

AMS RA is down to 12.8 with bolt-ons.

It's ok Amby I expect you to reply back with another excuse.

especially if you are driving a manual. missing gears, shifting too early.

and most importantly bad takeoff.

12.9 isn't 12.4 now is it? I bet you there are Corvettes faster than 12.4 as well so should we compare the fastest stock Corvette to the fastest modified Ralliart?

Yeah because a Corvette really needs excuses, I dare you to post this on a Corvette board or even in the other cars forum.

...the argument was that a modded RA could stand a "chance" not necessarily win against a Corvette. Which is true. Don't see what the issue is here...

How am I "destroying" a thread, by being a voice of reason? Guess people want to just be able to say blatant bull**** without getting called on it. I wish I lived in a world where I could spew crap and not care.
