Red Turbo 8 in Naples / Ft Myers

You ran into my Dad the other day with the SC S2000 at the gas station. He said you have quite the nice 8. His S2000 is pretty sick, vortec SC with everything done and around 340 whp.

Anyways he said nice car

I am not saying they raced. Since that is against the forum rules. But if they did I would guess the 8 would lose by 4 cars by the end of 2nd gear....

In fairness the S2000 has:

Vortec SC
10 lb pulley
550 injectors
AEM ems
Tien adjustable suspension
4:57 cryo hardened rearend
Custom intake
Custom midpipe
Neuspeed exhaust

and a few other things....

There is an easy answer...

Take my post and replace "if" with "did" but only in a fictional world.

Also I would like to see a 8 with the greddy kit putting down a 340 whp

its not a greddy kit.... it is actually a kit from peurto rico... but it had to be reworked and tuned up by mazsport.. www.mazsport.net.... i am not advertising but it is silly to say that a 8 cant have 340whp.... i think evils car was close to 340 if not it was 320 with a stock exhuast on it...

swoope you may be right it might be to far but htat kid can be all over the place sometimes... its strange to see a boosted red 8 and it being someone else

I know evil miata has a gt35r turbo on his car. It is not the greddy kit.

All I was saying is he said the 8 was a nice car, but we both thought it would have been a better run since they are pretty close. But the 8 was pretty far behind.
