So who do you think would win?
It probably does feel that way; it has over 500 TQ at 1800 RPM (turbos!). But you should destroy that car. There is well over 1000 lbs of weight difference and nearly identical peak hp. The are limited to 130 mph and run about the same 1/4 mi. times as a stock 5th Gen SS Camaro.
