Unlike the s2k , without a clutch dump you'd be struggling to break traction by 7k in the wet, absolutely MISERABLE. But hey if revving around at 9k makes you feel like the king of vtec then good for you. Personally if i'm revving that high i'd need to be in at least a sub 12 second car.

Well let's be reasonable here...
2008 S2000
Weight: 2765
TQ: 162
HP: 237
1st: 3.13:1
2nd: 2.04:1
3rd: 1.48:1
4th: 1.16:1
5th: 0.94:1
6th: 0.76:1
Secondary gear reduction: 1.208
Final drive: 4.100
Actual final in 5th is 3.854 (Plus you still have an extra gear for the hwy)
Giving you a TQ/Weight ratio of 0.058 ft.lbs per pound.
2008 Scion XB
Weight: 3020
TQ: 162
HP: 158
Gear ratios
1st: 3.54:1
2nd: 1.90:1
3rd: 1.31:1
4th: 0.96:1
5th: 0.81:1
Final: 4.31
Actual final in 5th is 3.491
Giving you a TQ/weight ratio of 0.053 ft.lbs per pound.
So basically, in the S2k, you have a car with the same amount of crank TQ, that weighs about 250lbs less, has 79 more HP... and shorter gearing (In 5th gear anyway, which is the only gear you use according to your never ending hill climbing posts)
It's pretty obvious you just have a hate on for the S2k, first you compared it to a Vette (Which you don't own..), then a Scion, none of which had anything to do with the thread subject.
So hows about you just GTFO and put an end to the outrageous owning that just took place.
(Disclaimer)**I might be wrong about which scion you drive, but you said 5th gear so I assume you have the C-150 5 spd.**
