That could simply be the result of running R-compounds vs. Street rubber, he does have his suspension on 'Full Stiff' for sure though. They do walk him bad in the straights.

The horsepower advantage definitely goes to the Ferraris, but the weight advantage goes to the S.

Im sure that s2000 has more than an extra 30-40 hp.. There's a video of him running against a E46 M3. He let the M3 fly by him on the sraight and he began chasing the M3. after about 20 seconds he was on the M3's ass. Im sorry but an extra 30-40 hp isnt gonna out accelerate a E46 M3. He must have a F/I

Uhh, no. The Challenge Stradale basically weighs the same as an S (~2800 lbs).

What you guys don't seem to understand is the concept of different drivers. The driver in the S is pushing the car much harder and is probably a better driver than the one in the Ferrari. But, who really knows the motivation of the driver in the Ferrari, maybe he didn't want to break his new toy. Who knows.

Thank you!

If he indeed is NA with an additional 40 hp...what mods do you think he has? Intake, exhaust, headers? What else?

Other than increasing the displacement, I know of no NA mod that will net 40 HP.

Well if you watch, you notice that it isn't his horsepower that allows him to run with those Ferraris. They pull away like crazy on the straights, he just takes them through the turns.
