With NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWZ! Nope, a GT would be a match for a newer GT sort of, then you would probably get owned. I dunno, I can own 7th gen GT-S easily in my car but thats cuz the only 4 down here are all automatics and the kids think their cheap parts add 100 hp

a 6th gen GT will easily beat a 7th gen GT.. but a GT-S.. they have bad turbo lag.. and maybe if you combine that with an automatic trans...

I think you mean lift?
I've seen one GT-S that used lift through all 6 gears and he was actually keeping up and was next to my rear quarter panel. Lift is actually badass on a GT-S and can screw some faster cars. Dunno about the GT thing, their nothing against me but if a 6th gen GT can beat a 7th gen then thats cool. |

GT-S is not turbo'ed so what turbo lag? and yes the GT-S would own your 6gc GT. i have one sitting outside and it was pretty quick with the AC on full blast. |

What does the A/C have to do with anything? You lose that .000000000001 HP with having it on

a 00 GT-S will spank your ass, for sure. If the driver is competent enough..
if it is an automatic GT-S, you may be able to not get your ass handed to you so badly. auto gt-s's are slow as hell, because lift engages at 6000rpm & above. no amount of good driving can make up for that problem. they have to mash the pedal and pray for the best. i'd try it out. if they have a 6 speed, and know how to stay in lift, you won't stand a chance. good luck.

An auto GT-S was no problem for me, and i test drove a TRD edition GT 5 spd. I don't think i have ever been more dissapointed with a Toyo in my life.

actually a/c affects the HP alot. that is why some people remove the compressor pump to free up some more HP. if a/c did affect performance the under driven pully system would be less popular. |

Correct, the A/C surely affects the hp.
The U.S. GT though is really so slow that there is no contest with the 7gen GT-S. The SS-III with the Beams engine would give the GT-S a hard time but i am not sure if it would win as i think the GT-S is prolly lighter and if 6-speed then it may also have better transmission changes. |

I think the GT-S will win the race.
I agree with Neoklis about the weight,now about the SSIII VS GT-S it is a drivers fight and i think that if the SSIII have a good lounch then it will keep at the end. |

a manuel 00 gts would severely destroy a manuel 99 6 gen. i guess a turboed 99 would give it a run for its money. i would guess though that even a auto vs auto the gts would still win with or without the vvti kicking in.

The Matrix XRS in P.R. get better quarter mile times than the GT-S. But they're heavier, right? Shouldn't they be slower?
