Grinding up the food chain
If we’re going to be honest, the S2000 lacks power and torque. Not this one. The F22C gets help pumping oxygen through its gills from an HKS supercharger that slams down 351 horsepower to the wheels and 239 lb-ft of torque. While some may still consider this moderate it should be noted the car only weighs 2,550 pounds. In the right hands, it’s a formidable power to weight ratio.

Microns add up
Small details on this car that don’t jump out add up to make a big difference. One of these small details comes in the form of chassis preparation called stitch welding or seam welding. The wing is mounted to the chassis for rigidity but done so in a way where a minimum amount of the wing is left exposed. All of this requires custom cutting and fitting of parts. If you ever wonder why properly built race cars are so expensive…this is part of the answer.

Shock and awe
One of the most overlooked parts of sports cars and racing cars are shocks. For this, Evasive Motorsports utilizes a set of custom valved TEIN SRC coils that deviate from the standard spring rates offered. Front and rear spring rates are just under 900lbs/in. which would be a considered fairly aggressive if it weren’t for the valving. If you’re wondering how much of a difference this makes you’re likely talking a second or two per lap.
