how the eff would he put that 500 hp to the ground? I have a friend who's running an STi with a little more power than that and he'll spin all four if he mashes it. Isn't it just wheelspin all over the place? Just wondering. Cool car.

[rage2]

Just need some speed. 100-250? :)

[syeve]

XES's prelude dyno'd 780WHP and had only minimal traction issues and it's FWD. LSD and drag radials yo.

That's where 4wd, billet tranny parts and a bit of extra weight comes in handy.... 500hp to the ground no problem hooking it up! That's a siiiiiiiiick S-2000 btw, not really my thing but def. a sharp looking car and pretty fuckin amazing to put down 433 with such little weight.

dirt. :bigpimp:

Seriously the craziest shit I have ever experienced. Ive been in my buddies 2009 GTR dozens of times and it just doesnt even compare. (Sensation wise)

Also, I hope he has this resolved. It's one thing to have 500 bhp. It's another to not trust it for more than 300 kms at a time. :dunno:

I'm with sk00l_u. I just dont' know if i trust my turbo'd car to drive 300km's.....

First, he's turboed. Second, 500 bhp in an S2000 is easily and reliably done with a supercharger. This guy was pushing 400 whp back in 2004. I've met him, rode in his car and he's got the same car today:

Last I heard, he was at 454 whp, that's well over 500 bhp. He's probably beyond that now and he drives it everywhere. No fear of driving over 300 kms.

Mine's supercharged at only around 350 whp and I'll do a road trip to southern California and back. Not even a hiccup.

[Ek9Max]

It's my car he's talking about. It's not really that crazy, he's just not used to fast cars.

And yea, it's been a month of driving it around, I would have no worries about driving it for long distances anymore.

umm what? unless your friend is running 185/30 tires or Nexen N3000's, it's impossible to be spinning all 4 on an STi. My cousin puts down almost 500ft/lbs on his GC8 on 235/45 street tires, only spins 1st

Hell, i'm putting down low 4's on my Supra and I'm only running a 245, holds just fine.

[mr2mike]

HP #s are debatable but I guess Max won't be switching back to an MR2 anymore.

Good to see the s2000 going strong. I wanna see it in person.

[Sorath]

such a baller, i think i traded waves with you 2 sundays ago by harvest hills

[CD007]

I've driven my del Sol with 393 whp to Calgary from Winnipeg twice now.
