the vr6 should win. They pull pretty good up top vs down low.
i raced a 02 or 03 vr6 jedi with a 5spd(or maybe a 6 I dunno). Off the line he won, cause I had my crappy dunlop's at the time, but caught him in the middle of the 2nd gear. But after 2nd gear, I was only mildly walking away. Probly 2 cars by the end of 3rd gear.
they must have vtech or something, cause their 3rd gear is pretty decent from my experience.
