what's not to like?

wet weather tires on a dry surface = bad for Amuse
long uphill straights = bad for Amuse


When Amuse is relying on the curves to catch up, but has crappy tires, there's no way they're going to win.

Lool at the hp differences. On any long strait it would be almost impossible to beat that type of power!

I will never understand this NA vs. FI thing. They ask what is better, FI, or light weight? My answer is simple: BOTH!

Torque is good
Horsepower is good
Lightweight is good
Handling is good

The more of these boxes you can tick off the better.

Don't believe me? Shame there isn't a video of the Amuse NA S2000 vs. the Amuse Turbo S2000. I think I know which would win.

Exactly, who cares which is better, If you gonna be building a race car more power and less weight is always the best.

If you're going to race heavier FI cars vs Lightweight cars on a track you're going to see the same thing as in this video everytime. The FI cars will pull on the straights and the lightweight cars will make up alittle time in the corners. It just depends on how long the straights are.
