1990 200 tqw vs S2 vs RS2 datapoint

[Lewis, Gary M]

Ok, I didn't actually have them all together.  All I have is the 200 tqw.

Anyway, I ran a 20 to 40, and a 40 to 60 mph test.  Sorry I didn't get them
all, but I was too busy.

20 - 40 mph 2.5 secs
40 - 60 mph 3.3 secs
vs...

mph     rs2    s2
20-40  5.7    3.8
30-50  3.2    2.9
40-60  2.8    2.9

Rpm comparisons don't really apply, gears are different.  I was at a higher
starting rpm in the 20-40 case, and in a different gear.  I believe the
S-cars are 6 speeds.(?)  My 40 - 60 test I was at a lower starting rpm, but
I think the comparison is much more fair than the 20 to 40.

I was thinking that taller gears probably favor the RS2 turbo over the K24,
as you can toss that bigger turbo's torque over a wider band, and you only
have to spool it up once with a bypass valve.  My K24 runs out of puff at
5000 rpm.

I'll do more tests in Aug with the RS2 turbo installed.
