Guest Spargo Report post Posted September 14, 2005 And? They've been pulling 130hp/L since 1990. Nothing new. Combination of slide throttles, massive redline, massive fuel, tuned length inlet and exhuast, bucket and shim valvetrain, blah blah blah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spargo Report post Posted September 14, 2005 That thing would rev to 13K easy. No doubt in my mind, no doubt at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 477 Report post Posted September 14, 2005 An S2000 is 240hp, with a 3 year 100,000km warranty and they're 6 years old. Peak power at 84, max engine speed, 85, sounds great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
