I do agree with you on the STI and EVO numbers as I saw those on the track as well and the vette clearly can outrun them on the track - as for the 3000GT - well at least it has the better looks of the bunch listed

I realize some of my fellow Kalifornians [I'm in the Bay Area] are sensitive and don't like straightforwardness, so I'll try to be more PC and emotionally in-touch in the future. I'm a young guy, but I'm old-school at heart, which means that I call a spade a spade: This State is infested with too many *** cars and I don't like them!!!! Feel free to inquire about my health or stress levels in the future; nice to know you care.

I don't like taxes and I don't like bickering over the Internet. That being said, you're probably a decent guy in real life; we just interpret the posts differently.
I also meant no disrespect to V Vette, as my post was preceded with this sentiment. My reaction was one of shock, as I don't consider any of those cars a "threat."

Mitsubishi VR4?? That is so old school. From experience, my Supra Turbo smokes the VR4 AND my C6 smokes my Supra.
Modified anything is a different story. A Lingenfelter TT C6 will smoke all of the above if you want to talk about "modified".

Ah, I long for the good ole days! My 1961 fuelie didn't get beat by much of anything on the road. Maybe a Chevy 2-door biscayne with a big block, 4 speed and the right rear end gears. Today, speed is cheap and talk is cheaper. Have a nice day.

How about the Neon SRT-4 with an aftermarket turbo? I know of three in the Central Texas area that run low 12's for a $30,000 TOTAL price (new car + supporting mods). FWD so they're hard to launch but they do run strong. The one I just traded had all Mopar mods and ran 270HP/302TQ SAE corrected at the front wheels on a Dynojet.
