I think it would almost be a driver race, but you have the weight advantage.

Actually, the XRS has VVTL-i, and I'm pretty sure that the XRS only comes in Manual now. Originally, there were autos, but there is no point in having an auto with that engine, so they stopped building it, just like they should have never built the auto GT-S's.

They're fast, assuming manual trim, but it would definately be a drivers race given the difficulty in driving the GTS to its potential. Quite a few dont break out of the 15's (or worse) in the 1/4, but the really good drivers can. Oh, and if its auto, fill your tires with lead to make it fair. Auto+GTS= 17's maybe 16's

Yeah, I'm planning on getting it into the low 15's... like 15.2 before I do anything else because I wanna make sure I can drive (more like launch) well enough to make the mods work. The 15.5 is from my first time to the track and a 2.331 60ft. If I can get that down to 2.1, I'll be where I want to be... 15.2, which I think is possible with some practice, a little less tire pressure, and less than a HALF TANK of gas
