Have to agree with SCed ones keeping their character.

I had a ride in danw's before it went bang and it feels the same, but there's a lot more of it

Adman, id really like to see a stock S2000, your car (gears) and a Comptech car all lined up for a sprint. Would make great viewing.

I think KStokell was saying a while back, that a geared car kept up with his S/C car upto about 100....?

[QUOTE=Bibbs,Apr 23 2007, 04:12 PM] Think my bonnet swap lost me about 4kg .. my boot swap saved me nothing as I re-enforced the boot with fibreglas and steel strips to mount the banana spoiler too.

The mirrors saved me 1.5kg

I don't think the geared car against an SC car is a good comparision.

Geared will pull lower down and runs out of top end.
SC delivers peak power at the top end.

Yup but 0-100 it would probably be ok.

I will find KS and ask him to comment - im sure he took his S/C off in favous of gears as someoen kept up with him! Hard to think it possible in theory...
