look at it this way
the gt500 is at tad over 4K LBS
the GTO is right about 4K LBS

THE GT500 has 100HP more than the goat

do the physics of the situation

when you have the same amount if mass to move with less force (i.e. hp)
the car with the extra force available t (the gt500) is going to win.

this is ofcurse asuming perfectly equall drivers
and bone stock cars.
Except for the fact that the GT500 weighs less than 4000lbs (3950), and GTO weighs significantly less than that (~3700lbs). 100hp is good for.75-1 second at the track in the 12/13second range. By your logic, a horrible driver will run a high 12 in a GT500, and a superhuman driver would run very low 12, bone stock.
ok so my #'s arent exact but you get my point
the shelby has 100hp on the gto which more than makes up for higher weight

and of course he dose not know. the automatics are faster then the sticks. though only bye 1-10th of a sec. ill post more details if you wish
Wrong...depends entirely on the cars in question...GM slaps in weak converters and programs the shifts to be lazy to
keep the trans alive as long as possible... If you change those things then the Auto is quicker but in stock form the manual cars tend to have an advantage not the other way around.
