I found the link... the STI gets beat in the straights of course, but being AWD, catches right back up in the corners. Im guessing the driver in the STI is better than the driver in the Corvette...

thats the conclusion I came too, that STI driver obviously knows what hes doing. Especially since the vette is supposedly on Hoosier Race Tires, which should help whip the vette around the corner, and with the proper suspension pieces and setup, that thing should be able to take some of those corners like its on a rail

you can actually see that the vette is waiting on the sti to catch up because he is showing that his car is much better he is going soooo slow into the turns and he has to be playing with the sti there is no way he was pushing it hard. plus we have no proof of the vette even being blown. or on race tires just someone saying it was. you know how the ricer world is trying to build itself up as much as possible

Yeah that all passed through my brain, and is the only conclusion
i can come with, but still not a bad little video. You can see a car taking the proper line while watching in car footage of a car running the right line. So, if you are new to road racing, you can learn a little something about that at least
