the truth is also an s2000 is outmatched by a car that traps 106 on the high end stock....vs a high end of 103 on the s2k...
should go drive one...

a 3 mph trap is a pretty large difference....Don't know how much quarter mile experience you have or racing you do...but 3mph trap difference is a few cars...
and yea they are pretty torquey 300+ft/lbs at the crank...vs like 150 ft/lbs..
and I said 3mph vs an s2k that traps on the high end...not all stock s2k's put up 103 traps...more like 100 mph traps..

Engine torque gets you out of the hole, once your moving it has very little play in the outcome of the race. If your car weighs more it eats up more torque to get it to the same place that a lighter car with less torque would, ok. This is why the Mustang is a week performer for how much power it puts out. 300tq and 300hp should rape an s2000. But the compared trap times hardly say this. My car putting down 225hp and 146tq to the wheels at 2750pounds will also trap 106, and the funny thing is that its not even built stock to be a strait line car. Its a cornering car, you know...a sports car!

I'll cut to the chase and bypass your week argument because its not worth replying to. I will however educate you a bit so you don't seem so silly next time and will either have more to work with in your next argument.... or figure out that you don't have one, either way.

106>103 (average stock s2k is more like 100 mph)....That will cause the GT to walk away...End of story...
BTW please save your explanations...I'm a graduating ME about to go into the work field...I don't need that kind of run down...believe me
Also noticed you said "Will trap 106"...does that mean you have no actual time slip of said CLAIMED trap speed??? In other words, did you just lay down some fancy bench racing/ricer math??

dont know why you're still talking about torque when I talked about real world trap speeds, which are the final word...

if it helps you sleep at night....
I didnt pay anything for my degree...scholarship did that...But I'm done here you just want to argue...and the fact you had no time slip and just bench raced your car to a 106 trap is enough to make me stop here...

glad to see another guest in the street encounters with no purpose other than to bash the car the website is based on.
Can you quote where I bashed the car please?? Maybe I missed it
