power to weight ratio....Camaro is heavvyyyyyyy. Evo is all wheel drive helps it hook up good and quick, turbo, much much better suspension that is built for going around corners. yada yada yada. Bottom line, stay away from your friend's EVO or you'l find yourself ditching the GFX idea and taking out a bigger loan to FI your V6 to keep up with the Evo.

The EVO starts at 38k, so the SS is a better matchup. SS on the straights, EVO on the curves.

And its Top Gear. No, if they weighed the same, the Evo would still win. But considering the fact that it costs more than an SS, I don't really see why a V6 Camaro should be expected to win.

Is it a combination of the AWD *AND* the weight?

I love my LLT! But why, why compare it to a Evo? Anyone that knows about cars will tell you the Evo all day! The cars are also in to completely different classes. A well driven Evo can even compete with a SS!

Lol the only way a V6 camaro will win within reason is if it has full bolt ons and the race is a 20 mph + rolling start. We have to wait for some solid turbo kits to come out before we even think about evos. |

Yes. People need to understand that AWD's single largest advantage is the launch. After about 30 mph they wont accelerate faster than a fwd or rwd car of equal horsepower. In fact you can have probably about 5-8% less horsepower than an AWD and take it from a roll if you have fwd or rwd.

That is only true on a ~300hp car. Start talking about 600-700hp and it is a different story. The more power you make the more AWD becomes an advantage.
