03 cobra vs. S2k who would handle better around a track.

[man]

The poll is misleading also. Practically everybody has agreed that the S2k handles slightly better, so it would get more votes. However, the Cobra would beat it around a track because the difference in handling is not very significant while the difference in power is.

But the difference in pwr/weight ratio is not...

My cobra made 404 REAR WHEEL HP stock and weighed in at 3645lbs.

S2000 makes 237 FLYWHEEL HP and weighs 2809lbs.

Cobra=9.02lbs/hp

S2000=11.85lbs/hp

Remember, this comparison leans in favor of the S2k because I didn't use its actual wheel horsepower like I did with my Cobra.

Oh, one more thing. I made 374ft.lbs of TQ.....What's that honda make?

While paper racing is silly, the 130-ish TQ that a stock s2000 will put down is masked by the fact that it has a 4.10 final drive. Gearing multiplies TQ so it might sound low but if kept in vtec throughout the gears the car is much quicker than it would seem.

EDIT: Ninja'd, dammit!

Actually, it is. From what I was able to gather from some Google searches, the 2004 S2000 produced 237HP weighing 2835 pounds. This is 11.96 lbs/HP. On the other hand, the Cobra produces 390HP weighing in at 3664 pounds. That equals 9.39 LBS/HP, which is a pretty decent gap. Not to mention the S2000 produces 161 lbs/ft of torque while the Cobra churns 390 lbs/ft.

Nice

Yeah, fuck pounds per HP. Lets talk pounds per FT/LB TQ.

Incorrect. The AP1 is about 130 and the AP2 is about 137 IIRC.

Either way, if it produces less torque, then that hurts the S2k argument.
