I'm sure most of you have seen the vid of the S2000 chasing the Ferrrari 360's on a track, here it is just in case http://www.teamgt.it/varano04/360rossi.wmv

Anyone know what engine/exhaust mods the guy has on the car?

this was discussed awhile back I believe it's NA, as what others said also, because for one it doesn't sound like a turbo, and there is no distinct whine of a super charger. The car just plain handles well, think it has full suspension setup.

plus as you notice he only catches up with them on corners, not the straights when they blow him away.

Yeah I saw he very fast through the corners, but the car just seemed to have a lot of umph too. I've never had my car on a track so I've never had the joy of pushing full redline for more than 3-4 minutes at a time, his just seems to fast for stock in that video.

i agree also... it's an NA..... he falls behind on the strights... but he catches up really quick though the turns......

and you hear nothing like a supercharger or a turbo....

If you read the old thread, some of the die-hard track guys chime in. All three parties were taking sketchy entrances, dodging optimal apexes. If you look back on the video, compare where YOU would enter and exit and compare with what was actually going on. . .

. . . the S2K was just doing it better than the 360 guys, but still not perfectly.
