Dad's reflexes aren't what they used to be.

Add 600 lbs to your twin and that's what a corvette would do with an FA20 haha

The frs looks like a sedan compared with the vette

Now the supercharged LS1 in the FR-S! Oh lord.

Really? FR-S is shorter, narrower, and 1.5" taller. I think it's the lens effect.

Also ~250lbs lighter.

More than half the HP, actually.

Neither car is as fast as an Accord V6.

I'm not putting down the Corvette. It's a great car, I'm sure. It's just not a smaller car.

Unfortunately the fa20 is an overrated motor when it comes to wheel hp and the ls1 is underrated. To the wheels I would consider it below half.

Only the twin would lose to an accord v6. Never seen a stock accord run low - mid 12s. For a v8 equipped vehicle the corvette is pretty small... and it outhandles the twin to boot. Flat out c5 + corvettes are better performing cars.

Also just for record.... c5zs are closer to 3100 lbs and come with almost 400 hp to the tires.

(obviously ls6 motor and not the model corvette pictured)
