Default New edge vs. s197

How do you guys think I would hold up against a stock s197 5spd and auto?

I'd call the driver mod on this one. Equal drivers, you'll lose, but slightly.

Yeah, performance advantage goes to the S197, but not by much. It'll come down to driving.

+1. All you have going for you is the 4.10s.

Should be close/even in the 1/8th, but after that the S197 will creep ahead. The driver mod will play a big part.

S197 will win with a decent driver. However, it will be close.

If you were to get LT's, sticky tires, I think you will take him. You do have the weight advantage, but the S197 has the weight advantage.
