I thought you might enjoy this. My S2000 dyno is very old (2005), but this shows how a pump gas GT3076R S2000 compares with a Cadillac CTS-V (stock M6). The first CTS-V run was ~10-15 hp higher, but the RPM pickup didn't work properly and so you get to see a second, slightly heat-soaked run. One nice thing about a S2000 with an A-A intercooler is that heatsoak doesn't dramatically affect power run to run.

 

Exactly. With the gearing differences, the torque at the rear wheels is very similar. The S2000 has much shorter gearing compared with a CTS-V, but with the increased redline, shift points are at similar speeds. While the dyno shows the power coming on later, the actual driving experience is remarkably consistent.

That is interesting! The S2000 picks up power where the Caddy drops off. Yet, both produce similar power.

 

Graph it by speed, that's a better comparison of what will happen on the street

 

Here's one with mph.
The S2000 made more power on earlier runs in a lower gear, but this one had the right speed range to compare with the CTS-V. The lower gearing ended at ~ 95 mph.
This is the first CTS-V run, before it heat soaked which is why it shows more power than the previous dyno graph.




Here's a second graph showing the shift point on the previous gear in the S2000. I wish I had a lower gear run from the CTS-V for comparison.

Nice. If the 2 cars weighed the same the turbo s2000 motor'd car would win in a drag race

 

Ctsv is a fat pig though. S2k ftw
