Wes- I know that you ususally don't launch your car, but in your high speed video you must have gotten one hell of a launch. I mean as I was watching the video I thought about a supercar shootout that Motor Trend did a little ways back. I sure you know how fast your car is but I think these numbers put it in the proper perspective.

One Mile Acceleration

Wes 153 mph ~ 31-32 sec. (I' don't know if you ran a mile, but I imagine it was close)

Supercars

911 Turbo 161.58 mph ~ 30.89 sec.

Z06 160.7 mph ~ 31.32 sec.

BMW Z8 152.5 mph ~32.52 sec.

Ferrari 360 Modena 152.47 mph ~ 32.56 sec.

Ford SVT Cobra R 149.50 mph ~ 33.01 sec.

** Anyway enough rambling, you definitely get much respect for your S2K !!

No, I have a TD06 turbo. I had raced many MR2 turbos before, believe me Wes's SC S2000 would had beaten most of them, his car is just that fast. Any Houston MR2 owners that do not believe me, just challenge his car....my bet is on the Supercharge S2000, unless your MR2 have over 305 horsepower to the wheel (that's how much horsepower the SC S2000 is making).
