I believe they are both somewhere over 2800 lbs... the difference in weight is negligible.

When they refernce Gs they are talking corning, not straightline acceleration.

To answer the posters question, if you have 2 cars of similar weight with similar HP they should have similar 1/4 mile times.

Basic physics tells us that ... however, there will be other differences, tires, gearing, powerband... and of course driver skill.
