V8Killa, I somehow overlooked your post. Without mods the VR4's are capable of hanging with a 5.0, maybe outrunning it by a little. The Mitsu's are tanks, and it shows after they get a real good launch.

I've raced a couple and beat them both with a near stock 88GT, and a near stock 87GT. From a roll at about 50mph. Like 90dpscoupe said, a 2.0 60ft time is totally believable from your average VR4 driver. They bog off the line horribly if the driver doesn't really know what he's doing.

If they don't get the jump, outrunning the 5.0 on a 20-100 run isn't gonna happen by much if it does at all.

Course if any 5.0 wants to really whoop *** on a VR4, race them best of 7, their AWD system will blow itself to pieces on the 4th launch.
