Ok, I like Corvettes. I now own an S2000. I had a Corvette. If I ever decide to brag on just one car, which one will it be? So, I searched the specs, got out my calculator, sharpened my pencil (unsharpened ballpoint actually) and compared the two.

The hottest Corvette: 385 hp and 385 ft pds. torque. Those are impressive figures. All from 5.7L.

The hottest S2000 (they

 

i say if you really like the Z06vette(which is the car whos numbers you posted) wait for the 2002 z06 with 405 hp!! btw there is a difference between s2ks THE HOTTEST S2K are THE RED ONEs!!

 

i'd wait for the new toyota supra... aka 4000GT.. looks like a real exotic car... anyways.. i love my s2k.

You can't really compare different engine sizes like that. I bet Honda would have a heck of a time trying to get 684 hg out of a 5.7 litre motor. Take morocycles for instance... The 600cc Yamaha Sportbike (YZFr6) makes ~110 hp at the crank... the 1000cc Yamaha (yzfR1) makes ~ 150 hp. Straight math says the R1 should make ~183 hp. So the loss is somewhere. It's more difficult to get a larger engine to spin as fast as a smaller engine. The R6's redline is 15,500 while the R1's is around 11.5. If the R1 could spin it's engine up to 15,500 then the power would probably be closer to the R6's hp/litre figure. Just think if the s2000 made as much power per litre as the R6... 366 NA hp out of 2litres. That would be impressive. But it's not going to happen anytime soon with out some really high redlines. And torque is more representive of displacement. So you aren't going to see many technologies raise torque in smaller engines.

 

I'll take a Z06 over 2 s2000's.

Well...maybe not...

 

I will take 2 S2000 over a Z06, that's for sure.

I think I had heard that Corvettes are driven to compensate for small ... feet.
