A full tank of gas (13.2-gallons x 6.2-lbs = 82-lbs) plus a 230-lb passenger with the top down?
That's like adding enough weight for more than a half-second drop in your 1/4-mile (or losing 30hp).
No wonder he was as close as he was.

Hm yea, it's AWD stock s2000 vs. EVO... I think the s2000 from any roll will put multiple car lengths from 110ISH on. From a dig, it will take the s2000 to about 120MPHish and then the same scenario.

Even if the Evo loses it's might at the high end, They were running on a 1/8th mile track. I would guess that speeds would be no where near 90 miles per hour.

Umm.....the mags never stated that the Evo was faster than a Z06. Down low and from a standing start there is NO comparison. But from a roll, my brother starts to pull on me in the upper speeds.

EVO please, not because I have an EVO, but the S4's driving dynamic can't be compare to the Mits.
