>The upper stage being 110tons wet and 4tons dry does let it throw some very heavy payloads to high energy orbits beyond what you'd expect a gas generator kerolox to be able to do.
Yeah F9 S2 actually outperforms Centaur III with any real payload because it's so much more massive. Centaur V with a 5t payload has roughly about the same dV as Starship with a 100t payload from what I can tell.
