IROC-Z vs. Corsica

Ok, what do you think, I just got my 1990 IROC-Z with 305 TPI and w/c T-5 transmission out from a long hibernation in the frozen north. (near Buffalo!) Today I was sitting inside a deli, looking at a magazine and some guy in a maroon corsica pulls up and aked who owns the IROC. Being very proud of my car I immediately spoke up. He then asked me to race and I turned him down . Now I am curious, Who would win: ?

When I first read the thread I could not believe it was not a joke....

I had (actually just sold) a 96 V6 Corsica, while it was a peppy car with the 3.1, an Iroc it CERTAINLY was not. Unless your car is so sick that it burns a quart of oil ever 100 miles or so and barely runs, you will smoke him. V6 Corsica's run in the 16's at best. You should run low 15's.

If you have to ask, "who would win" your Iroc must be a piece of
crap.
