Supercharged S2000 vs LP 640 Mercielago

Thread Starter
The last Mercielago that I raced was considerably slower than this one.
This Mercielago has had major engine modifications and runs 100 octane due to the higher compression.
It appeared he would be in the low 130s from what I saw. I did back off the throttle slightly twice, once for over a second. That muted my 3rd gear charge and took away the top end surge in 4th. I think I could have caught him and maybe nosed him out if he had stayed in his lane.

How does a RWD car give you torque steer?

Torque steer is when the rear drive overwhelms the steering and the car is pushed to the side with acceleration. It is impossible to hold it in the lane.
