I don't know if you are talking to me, but all I know is I won. Can I explain it, nope. Do I understand what circumstances need to be true for me to win? nope. Was my car in front of his when all was said and done (minus the fly-by), yup.

One thing that is not being taken into account is the variation within the F-body line. I use to own a 93 Formula (LT1 6-speed with the performance package). NO ONE here is going to be able to convince me that my S2000 is faster in a straight line than that car was at ANY speed. Now, if you start to think about the weight difference between the Formula and the fugly-boddy-cladding-and-power-seat-equipped Trans/Am, there's going to be a little difference. Ditto if the T/A didn't have the performance package and the 3.23 v. 2.73 rear end. Automatic-equipped? Add still more time. Of course, the thing that adds the most time to F-bodies is a bad launch or a surface with little adhesion (wheel spin).

What does all this mean? On a grippy surface, a well-driven 6-speed LT1 Formula or Z28 with the performance axle ratio WILL beat a stock S2000 no matter how well the S2000 is driven. On the other hand, I believe a well-driven S2000 would beat a stock automatic standard-axle-ratio-equipped Trans/Am.

 

i have no doubts a TAwill beat an s2000 just about everytime, but in this one case, it didn't...that is all

 

Reaction time counts at the track, so I'll believe you can win even against an LS1.

I'm glad you have a witness for your street race. Only because he got his tires spinning before you revved up for a clutch drop. That alone normally means you lose. But with a witness all I can say is that TA driver should stick to picking on Yugos. How embarassing.
