I would have to say it would be a drivers race. If you have 2 people that can't drive for shat, then the svt will win. The spec v is a hard car to drive right...the ass loads of torque and short gears makes it difficult to launch, but not impossible. I never raced an svt when I had my spec, but I have driven one that had intake and exhaust, and after driving both, the spec feels faster but the svt handles better. If you can get a decent launch down you should be able to hang, but from a roll the spec will beat you every time.
