I want to see if a supercharged S2k can take a C5- Dallas area

I know a guy with the handle Reddevil has one. I'd love to see how it compares to my C5. I drove a friend's new 2001 red/black S2k last weekend and I really enjoyed driving it. Very much handled like a go-cart (good thing!), but it seemed to lack a bit in the power department. I ran to redline in first through 3 a few times, nice car, but just didn't seem to have a lot of power. I guess the power delivery is deceptive because of the broad powerband, it just didn't seem to accelerate even remotely close to how my C5 accelerates. I'd like to see how an SC S2k stacks up. Any takers? It would just be for fun, of course.

Having driven both I can fairly say there is a boost in power but nothing coming close to the C5. I would say it's the same as stock just more of it. You will rifle through the gears much quicker but it doesn't make up for those 4 extra cylinders. I would think it can do consistant low-mid 13s but nothing like your 12s.
It's just not built for that straight-line grunt and the SC wont close the gap. The extra power I found most noticable in the 5-7K RPM range.
Take a look at this thread to get a sense of the difference.

HondaGuy and I usually hang out with Red_Devil. I think he's going to the illegals on Royal ln. tonight.
I ran him on George Bush and he put 4 or 5 cars on me before I gave up. PM me your number and maybe we can schedule something.
I don't think I can do it tonight cause i'm going to happy hour to catch the Sixer's game.

I know you were looking to race SC S2000....
I'm not an S2000, but I would like the opportunity to race a stock C5 myself. Please let me know if you are intrested. See signature for mods.....
