something a little fun to waste time and anger some people!

if you are curious, find the SpD value for your car and post it here! (use MSRP for new car, whether purchased new, used, or a gift)

god dammit

you and your fucking side scrolling pictures

6/1/2007 9:39:51 PM

You know, if I had HTML, I would have resized it, or if a smaller version existed, I would have posted it.

Why don't you be a bit goddamn proactive and resize it to 1000 x 652 and I will edit mine out.

more proof the Z06 is the best bang for the buck.

2,007 for my silverado if you factor in gas mileage, its gotta be a -92,000

wtf is a mustang doing on that list?

6/2/2007 12:42:31 AM

They had to include a few "normal" cars for comparison...Mazdaspeed 3, Evo RS and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 are on the list too.

2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5

2529 lbs
$25730 msrp

=2735 SpD



p.s. winding road is good reading.

This list is kinda dumb. Hell, my V6 Camaro beats everything on the list except for the Atom.

Right up there with the Atom y0. SRT-4TW.

6/2/2007 8:00:36 AM

^^You're not supposed to use how much you put into the car, you're supposed to use the original purchase price. For a '73 Duster, you'd have to adjust to 2007 dollars. And then add on money you spent building it up if your specs are better than stock.

Sticker should've been $20,715.

the smart car beats out that entire list if you get the base model.

6/2/2007 6:20:21 PM

this comparison is pretty useless overall. It only really works for new cars...plus I mean is a civic really any fun? but it would probably score pretty high cause it's cheap.

6/2/2007 6:29:31 PM

2000 Honda S2000
(240 hp / 2809 lbs) * 10000 / $32,440 * 100000 = 2634

Not bad!

6/2/2007 6:46:45 PM

'67 VW Beetle was less than a dollar per pound ($1,640 and 1700lbs) but the measly 40hp brings us to a whopping...


wait for it

6/2/2007 7:01:48 PM

I think you must have moved a decimal point incorrectly or something, I got 14,347 using those numbers, although if you adjust for inflation the numbers work out to 2332.

6/2/2007 8:39:40 PM

the hype r is round 3500

not bad

6/2/2007 9:03:08 PM

i contend that an Evo IX is about the most overall performance for the buck you can find in any reasonably daily driveable, relatively new car...especially if you're willing to spend about $1200 for exhaust/boost control/ECU flash.

6/2/2007 9:45:02 PM

^^^ really?? i was using the MS calc, its no TI-83 so it might be my fault.

i got my car as a gift.

so it has a SpD index rating of INFINITY

6/5/2007 1:02:07 PM

they need to factor in top speed
cause as top speed goes up

$/mph goes up.

I don't think so buddy, lol. (not if you're going off stock)

'92 GS-R 160hp, 2680lbs, $17,999 (in 1992 money) = 3317. I know thats not accurate, but I'm not sure how to adjust my car's MSRP for inflation.

^^^well thats intersting, but that site is wrong. They have my car down for 2560lbs and I've had my car weighed at the track at 2640 (after I stripped it down of spare tire, etc.). I'm willing to bet they're listing the base model weight, without the options that add weight, or they're just wrong

6/6/2007 1:09:21 PM

^your car is a G3 though. I don't really know the differences between G3 and G4 gsr. The weight really doesn't matter much to me anyway. I'm not planning to track the car anytime soon.
