The best sex is usually quite ugly. Sweaty, nasty, smelly, god awful faces, every possible fluid going in one direction or another, and both people must be genuinely ashamed when they complete. Ideally they cant even look each other in the eye.

lolol

Just watched an LS1 Miata versus a 466 RWHP C6 Corvette, doing a 50-125 roll.

It took nine seconds for the winning car to do 50-125... and that car was the Miata, with a couple car lengths between them.

 

[MotF Bane]

So that's a car with around 300 WHP (unless there are unlisted mods), and weighing 2500 pounds, beating a car weighing about 3200 pounds and having 466 WHP.

Corvette carries 6.87 pounds per HP. Miata carries 8.33 pounds per HP.

 

[MotF Bane]

Using 2550 pounds for the car weight, and the following power figures...

LS1 = 300 RWHP. (85.7&#37
LS2 = 355 RWHP. (88%)
LS376/480 = 415 RWHP. (86.5%)

The wheel versus crank values are fairly close, but I think 86 is the most accurate figure (and 14% is a commonly agreed upon figure), so I think the LS2 value is off, and I'll adjust it.

 

[MotF Bane]

345 RWHP seems closer, it gets it to 86.25%.

 

[MotF Bane]

The LS2 shows 50 HP more at the crank over the LS1... so at the wheels, 45 HP over, which puts it in the vicinity of 90% transferred. So, we're in the right ballpark. If I wanted more accuracy, I'd need a lot more data, or at the very least, to use numbers other than ending in 5 or 0.

 

[MotF Bane]

Ls1, 300 rwhp.
Ls2, 345 rwhp.
Ls376/480, 415 rwhp.

 

[MotF Bane]

Stupid forum, take your caps lock blocker and shove it up your ass sideways.

 

[MotF Bane]

LS1 gets 8.5 pounds per HP.
LS2 gets 7.4 pounds per HP.
LS376/480 gets 6.1 pounds per HP.

 

[MotF Bane]

It'd need 510 RWHP to reach 5 pounds per HP.

ned

 

[MotF Bane]

That'd take quite a bit more work.

 

[MotF Bane]

And, more troublesomely, a few grand.

Stafford got screwed on the Pro Bowl selection.

I'd really like the Laramie package, but it might be a bit more than I'd prefer to spend.

 

[eldorado99]

Laramie Longhorn is even cooler, but fuck spending that much on a vehicle

[MotF Bane]

Hard top Miata is worth more than soft top, and an aftermarket hard top looks be about $1000. The car looks better with a hard top, in addition to all the other advantages of it.
