Don't you think if Honda found out something about a 'VTEC clutch dump' (lol) they'd lower their times on their own site?

You guys realize your arguning about the RX-8 VS S2000 in the mazdaspeed Protege section right?
Time for my saying! (thumb)
And thus another MSP section thread goes flying off the road of "on topic" and rolls 3 times before smashing through the wall of "What you talking about Willis?"

Because I still like the MP3. It's a great car.Matthew said:
And uh,....you wish the MSP was only 2/10's slower than the S2000. That will only happen in your dreams.
Step back down to reality with the rest of us. The MSP runs the 1/4 in 15.1,(rofl) the S2000 can do it in the high 13's. This may just be my "fuzzy math", but, I count more than 1 second difference there. That's not even a race. That's like 2 bus lengths difference.(rofl)
As a matter of fact, I just did the math. The S2000 traps at approximately 99 to 102mph in the 1/4. I'll use 100mph as a round number.RyanJayG said:
100mi/hr*(5280ft/1mi)*(1hr/60min)*(1min/60sec)=147ft/sec
So the S2000 is traveling at 147ft/sec. It beats the MSP by a little over 1 second.
147ft/sec*(1.1sec)=161ft
A school bus is approximately 50ft long? (Unless you are like Flat Black and Matthew and rode the short bus to school) Then it's about 20ft long.
So, that comes to approximately 4 to 5 buslengths. That's a close race.
(owned) But, this still isn't accurate. This would only be accurate if both cars started at an instantaneous velocity of their trap speeds. This is actually a exponential curve, that is much more complicated that just simple multiplication and division.

From what I've read, Vortec is supposed to be better than Comptech. The reason is because Comptech's compressor wheel is maxed out at it's efficiency at the stock boost level of 6psi. If you ever want to get a smaller pulley and raise the boost, it's a mute point because the air temps skyrocket because the compressor wheel is already at it's max.
The Vortec unit is supposed to be efficient up to like 20psi. Comptech actually uses a Novi/Paxton compressor. Just like how Turbonetics and HKS rebadges Garrett turbos.

Look, i didn't come to this thread to get into an arguement with a high school mentality kid. Flat Black simply stated an obviously wrong statement saying that the MSP can' outrun a 350Z. You have to be seriously stupid to even consider that to be a true statement. I stated that that was wrong, and I wasn't mean about the way I said it either. Then he decides to start vomiting stupidity out of his mouth. That is where this arguement started from.
