all im saying- ive got a 600+ RWHP truck, it runs 11s on 24" wheels... it gets 19 mpg @ 75 mph. IMO its very impressive and a good example of the blank canvas of an already impressive 400 hp package that is the LS. BUT i have a 2.0 liter cobalt ss i paid less than $20k for brand new, spent $600 and it runs high 12s. gets over 32 mpg on the highway, high 20s in the city. thats all im saying, no insult to the LSx here  |
Ok, get all that but one thing you guys fail to mention and see as factors in the other cars you are mentioning are weight and areo. We all know 911s are very light and areo and Evos are light and AWD which is a big help and minis I mean come on that says it all. Fact remains put the big engine in these small cars and keep everything the same and they will be even faster. The Vettes prove that so all your examples pretty much fall by the wayside.
