# I raced a VQ 5 speed with all the goodies, against my VE auto with all the goodies results...

From a dead stop I got the jump, he spun pretty bad. By the time we were to 65mph he had about 1-2 cars on me. Now from a 35mph roll I did gun it first, probably about 4-5 seconds before he gunned it when I got on the side of him...Oh we were turning left and I was behind him, he gunned it. That race I put about 1 car on him due to the jump and he could not pass me, we were dead even. Then he let me drive it, after I drive the VE 5 speed STOCK all day, I would say that the STOCK 5 speed will take out that fully modded 97SE 5 speed by atleast 1-2 cars 0-60. The 4th gen suffers from bad traction problems IMO. I was trying not to break the tires loose, but at 2k rpm they break. Now with the VE 5 speed they wont break until about 3-3.5k rpm. This is my second test drive of a fully modded VQ 5 speed and I am not impressed. The VE is 10X more fun to drive.

- I drove a VQ before I got my VE and I think that the VE feels much nicer to drive. n/m DaBoxSE (93SE 5spd) 00:59:06 7/05/2002 (0)
- To think i'm afraid of VQ's... I guess its cuz all the local VQ's around me are the fastest around... Evil Yak (93SE) 20:22:10 7/04/2002 (3)

  - I've raced a couple modded VQ's from a roll (with me manually downshifting)....I put some distance on them easy....dunno why everyone's obsessed with VQ's...nm James (92 SE auto) 20:27:17 7/04/2002 (1)
    - I agree, there has been lots of VE vs. VQ talk and when I drive the VQ it just doesn feel the same... dmontzmax (92 SE) 00:01:26 7/05/2002 (0)
