Why are we comparing a Taurus SHO against a Camaro?

Not even in the same class of vehicles. 2 door vs 4 door. heavy vs heavier. ugly vs uglier.

being awd is the main advantage of the taurus.

Put some hot drag radials on the SS and I'd like to see them race. They ARE at the drag strip, and a lot of attitudes would change

Awd advantages usually are offset at the track.

I got raped by a Evo on the street because I couldnt hook. Then we went to MIR and I took him 3 times in a row even pulling faster 60s than him, and I got the ricer "I wasnt running full boost" excuse. LOL.

Awd isnt a real advantage at a properly prepped strip.

that depends on the tires the rwd car is running, too.

When I win, I win. When I lose, I say you won. I never make excuses. No need for them. If you beat me, you've got a pretty damn fast car. I judge that by how bad I get beaten, if it happens.

It's best to always be prepared though. That is why I am stepping it up in the tire department.
