I told you this kid couldnt drive. S2k's need a good driver with skill to pull the numbers you are talking about. This is an idiot kid with no clue about cars. But I really wasnt impressed with the car. Im sure with the right driver its fast but i did get him by 4 cars. And Ive seen cars with less mods than mine run 13's so I beleive my car is an easy 13 second car. Gears alone are worth about .5 second on there own.
Gears are not worth .5 seconds on a stock or nearly stock 5.0.
Why dont you just post the vid? End all of the speculation and namecalling.

If the kid had any common sense he would of challenge you to a autocross or open track contest, and used his S2k to it full advantage. It always ends up being 1/4 mile times that seem to be the end all of car wars. I have a stock 5.0 ragtop with gears best time was 14:30's at 97 and I know I would not want a S2k behind me on a curvy road.
I like this guy. he's made the most important point within these 3 pages of BS and speculation.
The S2k IS NOT A DRAG CAR. It's meant to take on Other roadsters like the 350Z drop top, BMW Z roadster, etc. It's got a near perfect 50/50 weight distribution and will own the corners.

The S2K is a car that is basically tuned as far as it will go unless FI is added.
I remember a test where we put on a Comptech Intake etc and actually LOST horsepower. Mind you Comptech makes some excellent stuff.
There's a Vortech SCed S2K here that I am sure would be willing to race you for 200$ since he must be a ricer too because he owns an import.
I would hook up with him in SC when I get back later this year. hehe. Ricer or not, after my tour of kuwait City I will be willing to run nearly anyone...lol.

I read something like that on Hondaswap as well. Someone actually did a test on Honda spark plug wires vs (can't remember the name, but a very reputable company) wires, and the spark actually burned the fuel cleaner and hotter on the stock wires, with 80k miles on them or so.... this is vs brand new wires from the other company.

In my car (04 V6 Accord), stock, I ran a 14.4. I raced an S2000 stock vs stock, and it raped me, smaller engine, lighter car, much higher redline. This same guy went, and ran a 13.7 in his stock at the track I go to. I got in it and pulled a 13.8 as well. So probably it's that the guy that was cocky that wanted to race you just thought he was all badass, got nervous, and toasted himself. If it was me driving that S2000, I'd be starting in first gear at 20, not second gear.
So I highly doubt that stock for stock, S2000 vs 92 5.0 LX, that the Mustang would beat him unless the S2k shifted way early or just didn't know what he's doing. Just my two cents for it.
Actually all that is needed is an adapter to input from Camera to PC. Doesn't actually have to be "Digital". I sell electronics and **** (Well used to about a couple months ago) and that's one thing people always asked was if they could take their VHS tapes etc and convert them onto PC.
92StangBang.....of course stock for stock he'd win. And you say with your mods you doubt he'd win, well no kidding, mods do that to cars, they make them faster. So yeah, if you got the mods and are pushing mid 13's, and the best you can push out of an S2k is 13.7, then ya 13.5 > 13.7. But stock for stock he'd tool you.

I wonder where the 13 sec slip came from with an Accord. Must be some sort of happy track or tail wind. I wont say he didnt run it, but I have yet to see an Accord run that good, or even near the 14's. So whatever ya did to it, cool.

um ok, who gives a **** about how slow my ride is? That is nowhere near the point of this topic. If you're going to sit there and diss on the S2000, then get off your lazy ass and go run it, then post the video of you whopping his ass.
