Honda S2000 v Supercharged GT86 & MX-5: DRAG RACE

Modification your vehicle with :

It's time for a showdown!

We've got our hands on a S2000, and it's going up against a tuned MX-5 Mk3 and a tuned ! The concern is, which will triumph over the quarter mile? Let's take a closer take a look at the stats.

Starting with the MX-5, this would generally produce 162hp and 176Nm of torque from its 2-litre 4-cylinder engine. Nevertheless, this one has had actually a supercharger fitted, and it now puts down 260hp and 280Nm! This power is sent out to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual, and the cars and truck weighs in at 1,132 kg. With all the mods included, this car is valued at around ₤ 13,000.

Next up we have the . It's also powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder that produces 200hp and 205Nm. Nevertheless, much like the MX-5, it's had actually a supercharger fitted, and it now puts down 280hp and 300Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed handbook, and it's the heaviest automobile here, tipping the scales at 1,270 kg. It's likewise the most costly cars and truck here, with a value of ₤ 15,000.

Finally, we have the S2000. It's had no mods fitted to it, so its 2-litre 4-cylinder still produces 240hp and 207Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels by means of a 6-speed manual, and it weighs in at 1,,260 kg. As it is now, the car is valued at ₤ 12,000.

So the GT86 has the most power, but does it have what it takes to nab the win? There's just one method to discover … LET'S RACE!

Thanks to everyone for helping us set up this race:

      If boosted will be in a different category of POWER, so the race will have no sense. Even with 0.4bar of boost will pass 320bhp, but is very difficult to manage a very precise LOW boost at that s2000 engine, because wastegate actuator have no time to full open in the up range revs.
