Both cars are 400HP. He doesnt have a prayer especially with a 800lb weight disadvantage. unless you really lack the driver mod...

Never underestimate the competition...take it to a drag strip and find out. Assuming you win be a gracious winner. If you lose demand 2 out of 3.

It's kind of hard to screw-up a straight line race with an automatic.

It is, of course, only my opinion, but no matter who would win the race AT THE TRACK, your friend will still be driving something that looks like it came out of a cartoon.

I see more and more Camaros now and they look more and more juvenile. It's a junk car compared to the C6.

you'd be surprised what people can screw up. Spend a hour on Youtube should take long to prove my point
