I don't think it qualifies as a kill since you didn't finish your run. He might have walked you. From the original post it's difficult to tell if it was even a race. Lucky for you both that you didn't get your cars impounded!

No. Sideway's car is just that fast.

The only point that would serve is to get a lightweight, dragster... which technically... is no longer an s2k...

but that's just IMO.

...but thanks for over-interpreting my statement...
There are several S2000s that have gone over 500hp but it wasn't enough for them, 3 of them with 25 miles of me. Cars are still S2000s running F20C and 2 now pushing 700+ to the wheels.

Of particular relevance to this thread, I have a K40 radar detector and laser diffuser. I also have 35% tinted windows and a carbon fiber steering wheel.

Regardless, your math doesn't add up. Go back to school.

mathmaticly thats 210whp and 240bhp end up being roughly 12.5%~ drive train loss.

Hey isnt 205*1.18=241.9 your math was correct too. 210*1.125 = 236 close enough. Did you see the dyno charts 210 on a stock S2K is on the high side.

Oh by the was i have a minor in mathematics. So nice try.

Also Mr. Mathematics as you know the ~(Tilde) means approximately.

No you will see most S2k are only getting about 205-210 rwhp stock... Your bad!!!
last time i checked, that was 12.5-14.5 percent and not 18

35/240 and 30/240

All these calculations and formulas are giving me a headache . . . this is the only equation that matters:
