My dad asked me last night how a stock TT soarer would fair against an R8 Clubby?
I didnt know?? Anyone out there tried this out? :-)

A stock TT wouldn't have a chance. Add a turbo back exhaust, FMIC, and youll keep up with it. I blew my DD turbo's racing one down a highway on ramp :-) Had about two car lengths on him, dual lane onramp that begins with traffic lights, so it was a pretty even launch etc.

As others have said a stock TT couldn't beat it, but do a few mods to let it breathe better and you should stand a chance.
I have two friends who owns HSV's one is a VY Clubsport, the other a VE GTS, both of them are yet to beat me haha!

Stock he will hose you, get a few mods into it and you'll wipe the floor with them. I've taken out a few 295kw (297?) clubbies in my beast without breaking a sweat.

Go big single..... you wouldnt even waste time on V8's .... (or rolling starts with 99' STI's as i previously found out )

on a serious note..... just look at Daniel Clarke..... ok, you may not run a 11, but it goes to show what a few tweaks can do for you.... maybe a 12 =(good bye commodore :-) )

Yeah, take Dan as an example, and keep the twins. Then you don't even bother with 99-08 STI's off the line..
I'd rather launch in front, and stay in front.

There are two R8 clubbys on the list but they are both worked and charged and ran mid 11's.

Going by those 1/4 mile our soarers would need to be 200rwkw+ to be in the same league.

I ran a 13.17 with 187rwkw, the Soarers have a bit of a weight advantage.
