assuming ur talkin bout the quicker ones, lets say the SRV 92 to 96 ones, or even the 99&up ones..
their not that great off the line with no torque, but launched well, they have some ballz off the line, never the less, their quite fast higher end, so he'll probably would own u than

They are pretty much equal, about the same horsepower to the wheels. I am an auto and Ic na beta one from a roll, so you should have no problem especially with good launch.

Contour SVT, Prelude Type SH, and the 4th gen Max are all pretty close to each other in overall 1/4 mile ability (although I believe the Maxima to have the overall performance edge). The Max is the torque king here, so if you launch well, you can take them.
