Ok Tonight Im racing a bonestock 2004 Honda S2000. Were racing for $200. Who do u think will win. My 92 LX has C&L tru flo intake pipe, and 76mm mass air, 65mm throttle body, long tubes, no cats, mac cat back, 3:73's king cobra clutch, tremmec 3550. I think I should take them easily. They have a very short power band and I dont think this kid can drive.

they are supposed to be high 13 second cars, but a friend of a friend brought his new s2000 to the track the other day and in 4 runs the best he could muster was a 14.4

The car is bone stock he just got it and is a cocky asshole. Every1 hates him. He talked **** about my car when he had a bone stock 4cyl Accord finally i smoked his ass on camera by 20 lenths. I can drive and Im pretty sure I can take him. I heard they can only run good with an amazing driver.
If he just bought it he may not have the launch technique down yet. The new s2000 does have a broader power band but bogging it shouldn't be that hard and give you an easy win unless your planning to ran over 100 mph. Have you ever ran your car at the track? If so what has it ran?

But with this idoit I gaurentee hes gonna be in the wrong gear lol.. Its tough to race from a stop around here. A funny story with this kid. One night we were out in his 4cyl accord racing my other friends 4cyl corrola. He was gettin beat. I said ill show u how to shift this piece of ****. I won lol. He cant drive and especially the kid racing is not the owner. Hes jut puttin up the cash so the owner said he could drive. The driver is a joke. The driver is the one with the accord the s2000 owner is one of his best friends

Well go whup some bootay, I know punks like that who think they are all fast and can whup up on any V8 just cause they have an S2000. So far I havent seen one run better than a 14.5. I really hope your car can run better than that. Either way, head out there and see if he coughs up the $$$. Usually they dont.

Them....if you have those mods and he said he's "stock" but still wants to race you for $, you're in for an ass beating.
Disclaimer: may be dumbass ricer, but they usually won't run for that much $.
Uh.... Ricers don't normally buy a 30,000+ dollar sport compact and then race for money....
back to the topic:
I think he'll get ya, 5.0 LXs are quick, but not mid to low 14s.
Edit: I saw that he said it was an 04 model, they have a 2.2 I4 with about 170 somethin ft lbs torque now, along with a lower rpm powerband to work with. I really don't think you have much of a chance. However I could be wrong and he could suck. Soooo.... it all depends on how you two shift.

I don't know, i've barely seen an S2k launch, especially an 04 model....but I do know they're mid to low 14s and I don't know of those mods have his LX 5.0 into the low 14s yet.
