    This is pretty true, not so much when referring to hondas though a 475 hp civic hatch thats na would be a monster lol, but on average it takes a 100+ extra whp in a mustang to beat a vette, ask me how I know lol

    You mean - full weight to full weight, and from a roll. If the Mustang and Vette are from a dig, its completely different. If the Mustang and Vette are lightened race cars, its very different as well.

    yes let's keep going... so a mustang needs 100whp more than a vette to hang...

    but so does "any other" car

    so his vette was making 450whp on spray (yeah right)... but let's say it was and he still pulled the civic 3 car lengths. that MUST be because the civic wasn't making 550whp! YEAH THAT'S IT.

    He is wrong for saying "any other car" but in general when it comes to roll racing vettes have the advantage due to gearing in the rear end as well as in the trans...but when it comes to something with substantial weight difference and gearing such as your honda it doesnt quite apply, seeing as how h22 jones car went 12.5 with 25x whp, obviously a stock 350 whp vette isnt running a 12.5, with the normal driver. Its been shown in videos everywhere and in my personal experience that it takes roughly 100 more hp in something like a mustang to beat a vette

    Yeah they are a good platform I was just poking fun at the broad comment. I almost bought a vette until the geek in me decided on the m3 instead.

    redr1 is a close friend of mine. He just sold his C5 Z06 that made 440rwhp on motor, and he had a 150 kit on top of that. I drove the car enough to know what Vettes can and can't do. Stock for stock, they are the best bang for the buck.

    That said, you should roll race against his 911. It's pretty close to stock. :-)

    I don't do rolls myself, only digs.
