dang, 13.62 is good as hell.
Sev's car also puts out 210whp. So it is not your average stock s2k. I only managed to get 198.6whp on my dyno run. Looks like I got a weaker engine

IMHO, drafting isn't going to help that much at that sort of speeds... the 330ci is just a pretty quick car in general while also being more aerodynamic. Even tho it only has 225hp and weighs about 600lb more, it's got 214lb of torque so at a rolling start it's going to be able to keep up quite easily.

A good friend of mine has a 330ci, they're very nice. I ran him one time, I started in the same lane behind him...we both floored it. I passed him pretty easily. He jumped on his cell phone, called me, "I didn't know it was THAT fast!" But, I've got that engine whistle installed

I got my car dyno'd today (200.8hp with a K&N) and the guy at the shop said the 330ci is rated at 230hp, but puts out 217 to the wheels...they are severely under-rated. He also said the E36 M3 puts out low 200's, the E46 puts out 278, and the M5 does 340.

I'd watch out for those 330s...

Sounds like the SC is the way to go until someone comes up with a dependable turbo solution for the S2K.

My friend was playing GT3 for the PS2 and bought a turbo S2k that puts out 560 HP. Now that would be nice.
