Thor wins. She'll do some damage -mostly some light scratches from what I've seen- but sooner or later Thor takes her down. A ground stomp, some lightning or whatever a writer would use in regular comics. A hit and run tactic can only last for so long. It'd be similar to a fight with Mongoose.
Does she still have the Zoom upgrade?

yes, but lightning was not affective when she was hit with it the last time. It's gonna take a lot more than that.
Or the time before that. She deals with lightning powered foes surprisingly often 🙂

I think you're underestimating her strength, Cheetah can cause a lot of damage. If it wasn't for her bracers Wondy'd end up with major injuries almost every time.

It's a permanent upgrade. Cheetah didn't draw on an external power there, Zoom showed her how to unlock more of her own speed, and she showed it again in her next Wondy fight.
It's been a while since I read any issue of that arc that didn't have Superman/Wonder Woman confrontations. Was she amped? Because I can't recall of an instance of Cheetah ever being that strong.

When was this? And what type of lightning hit her?
I highly doubt that Thor's lightning would not be enough to take down Cheetah. I think she fought one electric based foe once. Maybe the Superman villain.

I still can't remember the Cheetah ever being that strong. Superman himself seems a bit surprised that she can hit like that.

Really? Any scenes come to mind? I'd be surprised if she did anymore damage than Wolverine. I don't remember much regarding Cheetah before the Flash tie in with Rucka. I always found her incredibly....meh so I never payed much attention to her. She'd pop in as a villain and I'd mostly skim through it.

Okay. That would definitely make this fight harder.

Yes but it's the same power, and Barbara's the more dangerous of the two.

Not an amp. A different user, but one who was less experienced with the power. I'll note that Cheetah wouldn't have done so well if he hadn't caught Superman off-guard, but Cheets has long been strong.
Cheetah's first appearance had her tug-of-warring with Diana, or for a more recent she can hold Donna back with one hand http://i26.tinypic.com/2q2mmty.jpg.
Here's her doing major damage to the supertough Firestorm too.
Cheetah's strength has always been relatively close to Diana's.
I've been racking my mind about the male Cheetah and all I recall is a power transfer or something done by Circe. I think the male version was intended to be superior or something.
Nah, Barbara came after him to reclaim the Cheetah power and if anything she had the edge.

(Barbara's the darker colored Cheetah. Donna showed up to protect *him* from *her* 🙂 ).

Really? I'm pretty sure I've seen Diana manhandle her and shit. One scene happened pretty recently. I think it was when Diana's fat blonde friend was kidnapped.
I always thought of Cheetah as being at best Thing level strength wise and on average in the Luke Cage class. I mean I was aware of her first appearance but I always viewed that in the same light as I did Wolverine's first appearance.
Do you have any other scene besides the tug of war one? I want to know if this is consistent.

I just checked my collection and I don't have this issues on hand so I'll have to take your word for it and hope your not leaving out or forgetting any info.
Frankly, if Cheetah is nearly as strong as Diana/Marvel plus on that level in terms of speed, she should rip Thor to shreds. Superman should have been gutted as well. At least, on paper. Once your on that level, cutting anyone below Trans should be easy.
What's the most damage she's done to Diana?
Thor's piercing durability has been pretty good recently though. Wolverine didn't do as much damage as I thought he would and he was withstanding slashes from the Disir. They easily cut an Asgardian to pieces and were able to even cut off Hela's arm.

Cheetah did, the 'Zoom upgrade' to her speed.
Giganta* and Psycho didn't. Though Giganta did get a new outfit around that time when she joined the Secret Society around Infinite Crisis, and has gotten better with her size (mainly not so easy to trip).
*Funny fact, Giganta's not really that much of a long-term WW villain despite her fame from Superfriends. She had about 2-3 pre-crisis encounters, and then another 2-3 post-crisis ones before Infinite Crisis that aren't crowd scenes, including one where she didn't have her giant body yet.

Rise of the Olympian? Eventually, but Cheetah got in several good shots (with an inner monolog on how almost unstoppable Minerva was) before Diana was able to grab her.

Nah, Cheetah's been consistently nearish to Diana (though I'll note there's times when Diana's been pretty weak, and she'll be written to match), baring a few obvious massive PIS moments like Salvation Run of writers who have no idea how the character normally is.
It's more her toughness that's lower (though still fairly high). Once Diana can actually get in a position to dish out damage things tend to turn in her favor, it's just that's very hard to do. Cheetah's all about the offensive blitz.
The Cheetah is, after all, a god.
Do you have any other scene besides the tug of war one? I want to know if this is consistent.
Not as many clear-cut tests of strength, but she's not afraid to go physical. Even does the tail slap thing sorta like the guyCheetah did against Superman.
Or an old one of Diana have trouble holding her back. Similar here, a few runs later.
What's the most damage she's done to Diana?
She's beaten her, and given her a number of claw wounds on several occasions, but I'm hard pressed to think of a time that says "Wow, that's a major injury!"
