More along the lines of 290 at the wheels.

Wes was dynoed at 271.4
Davepk was dynoed at 283 with a P-Flow TB resulting in about 10 hp+

He had a loose belt... There is also many quirks to be worked out still.

Once they are done, you should see about 290 out of a strong car with just the SC and the comptech exhaust system.

You're right Sev. I found the thread supporting the SC S2 HP figures.

SCS2k - "Mine did 196.5 hp stock and 292.5 hp with the supercharger."

RedDevil2000 - "Mine did 299.1 at wheels..."

SilverSurfer- "mine was 196.9 stock and 289.1 with SC."

A well driven E36 M3 is a VERY formidable adversary on the track.....it all comes down to driver.
They are a very close match, the stooks advantage is transition while the M3s advantage is comming out of slow corners. (ie. low end power)

Either way, those two cars are a very even match no matter where.

I don't know what kind of stooks you people have but it sure can't be the same as mine. I had an NSX before the Stook and no contest between the two cars.

My sister has an E36 convertible at the moment but her previous was the E36 coupe. Again, my stook simply can't hope to stay with it. The stook is 240hp. The M3 is 240kw. Sorry, that is simply much difference. Let's not even begin to talk about an E46 M3.

You sure you aren't discussing euro versions of the M3 here? The pre-2001 M3 that we got in the states is a 240 HP version. I have raced my friends 1999 M3 many times...and we are pretty much dead even. But, when the road gets really twisty I kill him..granted I am probably a better driver...so that is hard to judge. He launches well though for 0-60 or 1/4 run.

The eurospec pre-2001 M3 is of course going to be faster along with the new M3. As far as the NSX goes...maybe you got a bad S2000 or can't drive it, but i can hang with pre 1997 auto NSX's and pre-1995 NSX on the street or track any day.

A SC S2000 will keep up with a new M3 just look at the numbers.
2750lbs with 290+ HP at the RW.
3400lb with 340HP - (12-15%) 289-299 HP at RW
Again, the torquey engine of the new M3 will make up for the weight differential. Pretty much what you have is the exact same ratio for a stock S2000 vs old M3 as you do with SC S2000 vs new M3.

Not to mention the S2 weighs about 600 lbs less.
