i did beat a 5lt vn, on the great western highway, st marys.
it was an auto though.
the 5lt vn is pushing about 130rwkw and weighs 1500kg
the lancer is pushing about 121frkw and weighs 920kg
the thing can light it up in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, it doesnt do too bad.
power range is about 4000-5500rpm and once your in 5th gear its over.
a 5lt will rip you from about 800mts onward.
