Default S2000 vs 03 Gt vert

New Honda S2000 manual vs my 03 Gt vert (mods in sig)

From a light we both gunned it. I spun way to much (less than an 1/8 of tread left) and still pulled hard on him. Raced to the middle of 3rd and had about a full car on him. At the next light I asked him what was done and he said full exhaust, intake, tune.

He hung alot better than what I expected. Even if I didn't sit and spin I would've only had an extra car or two on him which is much better than I gave him credit for.

Regardless, another one bites the dust!

Yeah, those peaky motors take forever in the powerband to achieve their max torque and it's usually unbalanced compared to their peak horsepower.....Whats making me laugh isthat the mpg is dead on with my Vette...and I have 3.8 more liters!!!
