S2000 is an engineering marvel for a mass production vehicle...
What I don't get is it has 240HP and weights 2809lbs. The Mustang 2000 GT has 260HP and weights 3500lbs.
Yet, the s2000 at the track runs 13.7, and the 2000GT 13.7.
I don't get it...
Is it about the torque at 305 for 2000GT and 153@7500rpm for the S2000
or ...
could it be because that little 4 banger is driven towards an exagerated "peak" HP of 240HP at 8300rpm and the stang has nice full curve full of HPs maxing out at 260HP?
I mean 240HP is great but it's only a severe peak,... right?
