thats cool, I meant to make that more clear to tho sorry bout that, But the wrx has full suspension mods and all other goodies. And the vette or equivalent to it can be modded also. I was just wanting to see what everyone's opinions were because I think that the suby would and could give the vette or equivalent a run for it's money in the mountains, now open road and straight stretches is a big no no.

Obviously, the better driver would win.
A great driver in both the WRX and the Z06: Vette wins hands down. It has a huge power to weight advantage and an aggressive suspension.
A marginal driver (most of us) in both the WRX and the Z06: WRX is more forgiving of mistakes than the big power rear driver. Assuming the driver didn't crash (he's marginal, remember), I think the WRX would have the edge.

Given equal drivers, the Z06 would probably be out of sight within a minute or two. These cars aren't even in the same class.

vette
Our wrx is 265hp at the wheels. We are only 2 to 3 seconds behind several z06's at laguna Seca. This month we're installing an s/r 40 APS turbo, and a quaife front lsd. Those three guys are toast.

a MINI Cooper S can hang w/ Lamo, Ferrari and Porsche on curves..
if you seriously jack up your suspension you sure can run w/ the Vette

In the tiwsties, HP is def. not king. Actually, most of the time, less horse power is better as to prevent tire spinage. Dunno, who wins this show down, but I'd place my money on the vette stock for stock, and if they are upgraded (both cars) then I would still pick the vette as its active handling, especially when in sport mood is like "OMG was that a corner or a straight line?"
