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.
