[s-cars] URS4 vs Camaro SS

[John Petersen]

I've got to agree with Bob, that a good RS2 based setup will be
significantly more competitive than a 1+ on the highway drags... but, a
question for you... Do you have a speed limiter? Even some RS2 setups hit a
brick wall at 130 because of the limiter, at which time you would watch
_anything_ without a speed limiter and enough power to push beyond walk away.
