100 foot pounds of torque will accelerate you just as hard at 2000 rpms as it would if you were making that 100 torque at 8000 rpms in the same gear, yet, per the formula, the horsepower would be "double"
so even if you can redline to 9000rpms, the car is not any quicker from my perspective.

From Franks (ghettoracer) website www.akmee.com
"We were instrumental in getting the TOP SETUP K20EG involved. We also pre-tested the car prior to letting ORIDO & DRIFTKING drive. K20EG received perfect 100 pts from TSUCHIYA and 97 pts from ORIDO on subjective rating. Which clears confirms GhettoRacer's tuning abilities."
Whats funny about this... is that Frank has no part in that car or setup. It was entirely built by Charlie.. the owner of the car and of Top Setup here in Chicago.
Frank is a skilled BS artist... thats about the best way to describe him.

I got his car into the show. It's a good car. I wasn't trying to take credit for building/tuning his car because I didn't do that. But if it wasn't for AKMEE he would not be there in the first place.

Reading this thread makes me feel dumber. I had a CRX and the del sol suffers the same problem. Simply put they have a **** wheel base. Yes, if you put a h22 it would be fast, but **** so would a miata if you put a 2.2l inline four and turboed it (think of whatever motor it is they swap into miatas -SR20,F20,etc). Oh and for the record.. the miata/CRX HF is like 2100 lbs vs the del sol being 2300ish.
