You would also need to do MANY runs to be sure they would all turn out the same. Even a 1 MPH difference in starting speed could make a 1/2 car length difference from 60 to 100 MPH. Whenever I do rolling start "tests" against my friend's nearly identical S2000, the results can easily vary between runs by as much as a car length or two.

We try going accross more of the RPM range as well, starting at about 3K RPMs in whatever gear.

I don't think the advantage between final drives can really be summarized from a high speed rolling start.

I said that.

try the same thing, with swapped drivers. if your car is still half a car length behind (with the other guy driving) then you kno you got a strong s2000 and maybe all those mods (on the other car) arent worth jack.

From 60 to 100 mph, average advantage for 4.44 gearing is equivalent to about 13 pound weight advantage. Essentially negligible. 4.44 makes the most difference when starting from stop or low speed.
