The Corvette and myself had similar weight and were pretty close in terms of handling around here (he has expensive coilovers and a few mods). He was quick through most of the corners but I had a couple of places that I could make up time and he would toast me in the straights unless I got a really good exit the corner before. On a fast track like VIR or Watkins Glen he will be a good 5 or 6 seconds faster than me. I guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks when we hit WGI together.

WGI is a little more expensive than most events but it is a huge track. |
our little debate in the other thread ended up being RedZed and some of us talking about tracks and that his WRX has beaten the Z on some courses, where on the higher hp tracks it was a bit different.
I've had 2 Evo's so I know how quick they are even though i've never had one on a track. His point was that with the wider tires the Z has over the WRX makes it unfair, but with 265's on it he can run much quicker than a Z. My point was that with a computer controlled car (Symmetrical system Suby uses) that levels the playing field with the wider tires IMO. Hard to beat an AWD car with a comp that constantly monitors and transfers torque where it needs to be.
