Default WS6 w/ suspension vs. Evo-stock
A guy on the cobaltss forums said that his trans am ws6 with a tuned suspension caould easily keep up and probably beat an evo(with power mods, no suspension mods) at autox. I was curious to see what everyone thought about this... let me know what you think

Depends on just how "tuned" the WS6 suspension is. I believe it no problem.

Long, heavy, RWD car? Iunno. IMO it'd take a lot. But Evo never was an autoX king.

It all depends on who is driving and what tires they are running.

i'd say it's very possible. even with stock suspension, the newer WS6's get decent traction with the right wheel/tire setup.

Gearing and acceleration definitely goes to the WS6(LS1s never lose). Its a drivers race.
