And this little piggy cried "wee wee wee", all the way home (After getting by the S2000).

The new 605hp GT500 Super Snake only runs 12.5 in the quarter. Mustangs aren't exactly the pinnacle of engineering efficiency.

300 hp at what RPM?? 240 at what RPM???

EXACTLY.


Uhm.. I don't care if they are 5 or 6 speeds. Final gear is trivial.

S2K still loses.

They beat me to it, but yeah, I'm surprised you didn't look at the weight, if you were going to bother pasting in the full specs. You can put a 500 HP engine in a tractor trailer, and it still probably won't move that quickly.

I figured it'd be a driver's race, but I was hoping the gearing in the S2k would help out.

Put a couple of people in your back seat and let me know how it goes.

240 @ 8300

300 @ 5750

But what on earth could that prove? And gearing, whether you like it or not, does affect a cars performance.

moogleii

Final gear ratio may be trivial, but what's that have to do with having 5 versus 6 gears?

It's not like having a 6th gear means it's just a gear that the engineers decided to bolt onto the "end." You could keep the end gear ratio the same if you wanted to, and throw the extra gear in the "middle" and adjust all the ratios in between.

I think his first undoing was the front / rear balance coupled with 300 HP. Any idea what the f/r weight distribution is on those?

pdexta

75/70 I think
