Default S2000 vs Santa

So I was at the light when I heard some jingling and suddenly this big sleigh pulls up. The reindeer all had intake and exhaust and the sleigh was running Volks. I revved and this big guy in a red suit said gave me this sneer. I asked him if he was boosting and he said "ho ho ho" so it was on. I dropped the hammer at 4k (cold pavement, not much traction) but pulled on him by about a car length through 2nd. Those reindeer have a lot of torque down low, the front two pulled up to my door midway through 3rd before I hit VTEC and moved like Mrs. Claus at a milk and cookies party. I shut down around 110 and needed to catch an exit, plus Santa needed to go airborne to deliver some goods I guess.

I think that sleigh might have done better if it weren't carrying a few hundred thousand metric tons of gifts, anyone know what kind of power those reindeer put out? what's the conversion between HP and RP?

i was watching fox 5 news in nyc and they did some calculations and santa will need .0008 sec to park, drop down the chimmy placed the gives on tree and stockings, eat the milk and cookies, climb up the chimmy hop on the sled, and take off. There is no way you were ahead of him at any point. Unless like someone said before they spiked your eggnog.
