Default bored and wondering

i have a 2007 gt 5 speed with the 3.55 gears(well dont have it yet but waiting on delivery)
i was wondering would any of these cars give me a problem. i would say i am a decent driver on a manual. i know some of these carsi could beat but i am only askin to see.(mostly because i know people with these cars, or people i have seen around here have them.)

now figuring that all are stock.
newerwrx (i firgure the sti would be a drivers race.)same with the evo, but if i am wrong let me know
cobalt ss the supercharged one( i think its the ss.)
srt-4
volvo 60r
mazda 6
rx8
charger r/t (i know i would get killed by the srt 8 ).
any of the base ls1( i figure they will beat me for sure). not the firehakw or ws6, i know i would lose!.
lt1
audi tt
maybe i will think of some more later, let me know what ya think.

Wonder how much he payed for the install?

Don't the 07's also come with a samller gear set for fuel economy? Do you have to special order the 3.55's?

You'll beat everything except the STi/Evo and LS1. The STi/Evo you can beat from a roll fairly easily and maybe even from a dig if they don't launch hard. At the track all those AWD cars take off so lame off the line. Like they just roll off the line.

Now the LS1 car properly driven you will lose to. The only chance you have is to race a bad driver(I've seen them at the track pulling worst times than me) or beat one off the line and not go into like triple digit speeds.

however, if many of those cars arent stock, even by a little, they could be much more difficult opponents.
