I think you'll be ok provided you can drive. Try to stay away from roll races with turbo cars.

Assuming equal driver abilities, I say yes from a dig, no from a roll.

IMO you have a much better chance from a stop.. the turbo ss has a some traction issues with 1st gear.

Idk if we will go from a stop. If we can find a place we will but most likely a few roll races.

Aren't the new SS/TCs good for mid to high 13s?
