DSE's 5th gen Camaro against their own second gen Camaro.

I don't remember the exact times, but DSE's 5th gen was a few seconds faster than their second gen on the road course. I believe they're similar power and both very capable drivers, but the advantages to the later model car are very apparent.

Actual results from Gateway 2014 between those two cars.

Looks to me like the PT car won that battle...
