If its a base probe then the neon should win pretty easily, if it's the GT...watch out!

Races more often then not are not determined by power. I have seen 300hp NA cars destory 450hp forced induction cars at the strip. Its all about reaction time and driver ability and launch. Granted if you are making gobs of power you will catch up, but more often then not the lights have already come on.

that is true

i've beaten some DOHCs, V6s and GSs


but also power to weight ratio is something big
i'm still debating on if a 400hp corvette could beat a 500hp GT500
