I think its interesting when people bring up "it's his power to weight ratio that will help him out" as if its the only thing he's got going for him... Ever car has a "power to weight ratio" why can't you just say its the amount of power he makes lol? In a basic sense power to weight is what determines acceleration.

Because I know even with his 125 shot I will still have more power than him with me on pump gas. The light weight is the only thing that will help him and that's the truth of it. If I was to put my engine in a car that weighs what his does it would be no contest. I'm not saying thats the only thing he has going for him, hell I would love to own that hatch myself, that is an awesome setup he has and I have been planing on doing something like it my self when I start back work. I already have a good k20z3 motor and tranny that I am going to drop into a hatch.

If you put your engine into a car as light as his, you really think you'd get him? I don't think so. It's more than just power to weight. It's how the power gets put down. Honda makes great naturally aspirated engines and great gearboxes that put power to the ground efficiently. If you put your motor into his chassis, your traction/spinning problems would get about 100x worse.

For sure, it would be spinning but when it hooks up it would be on. Maybe it would not be that bad because I would not be pulling as much weight either. Nothing some slicks or dr's would not help. I think it will be a good race as it is even with me being 900lbs more than him.
