The S54 has 260lbs of torque ... that's not far off the S2000 motor at 240lbs.

iLLM3 .. this is my old car, 300RWHP @ 3000lbs M3 semi-street legal racer. S2000 is 160 TQ , I forgot how slow it is on the straight line.
Mike, I was refering to the Corvette C6 cab. I believe the MZ4 will be quicker than both the Boxster S and the C6 cab on the track but C6 wins on the straight line. Even the 3.0L is an extremely fast car. I had one as a rent-a-car in Germany for a few days ... it was a blast.

Look how fast this S2000 is on the straight with "164 lbs" of torque ... Hill billy chasing him in a Z06. BTW same track as the photo above

If you are implying that a stock S2000 with 168 lb ft of torque can come even close to a C5 Z06 on any track longer than 2 tenths of a mile, you truly are a lost cause.

It all depends on the driver. The most scared I have ever been was in a Honda Civic.
