Yes if you use your formula, but if you RTFP you'll see that he's comparing a 02 S to a 07/08 S which equates to ~45hp...still significant, but not the dramatic difference between your 98 base and a late model Spyder or S which is apples to figs within the context of Pcars. The comparison he's making is not such a huge jump. He'll get to sixty .5 seconds quicker, maybe do a little more than .5 seconds better through the quarter. From a handling standpoint, I'd bet the differences are even smaller, but then most of my "late model" Pcar experience is in their rear engined machines.
