Nice win. I can see the 3.7 being a drivers race with an older GT.

Excellent run! I gotta go test drive one of these new V6s. Its nice knowing they have some performance left on the table as well.

From what I've been seeing, a 3v S197 is more or less a drivers race with a 3.7, with the slight edge to the 3v. Is this correct?

I would say it would be a good race for an 05-09 GT. IDK, personally I think the V6 would maybe have a bit of an edge from a roll.

It would appear so! Not sure about the Auto tho.

On paper yes, I think stock for stock that is the case. I cant wait to get my 3.73s installed and chip/tuned!

Average ones will run mid 13s@105. Skittles are better off from a roll with their wrong wheel drive.
