I didnt know where to post in either track talk or n/a talk so i figure ill post it here for everyone to see!
i just recently time my car at Sacramento Raceway CMI Winter WarmUp 1/29 in Sacramento this past weekend. After all the research i read and watch about N/A s2k barely making in the 13s, i was afraid to go to time car. i was hesitate and didnt wanna be bum out if i didnt even break 13s lol, but anyway i went ahead and tried it. I drove 2 1/2 hours to Sacramento from Fresno,Ca with a couple of my buddies. Got there around 10am and went straight to time it. thinking i wouldnt hit 13s i didnt wear a helmet but did bring one for my buddies civic, and on my first run i hit 13.730 @101.45 bouncing 4th gear at the end. Damn i was surprise! 2nd run i hit 13.573 @101.48 again bouncing 4th at the end. 3rd run i hit 14.00s because i miss 2nd gear lol. My first 3 runs i was launching at 5k while riding the clutch and still bog out a little bit. so i decided to launch higher and go into 5th gear. launch at 6k and slowly let of clutch and skid good then caught traction and then the rest is history. I was able to hit 13.271 @103.68!!! after that i kept 13.3, 13.5 consistent. in total i had 8 runs and yes i know about the diff and s2000 isnt ment to go straight but who cares its about having fun with it. I did better then i thought and to my surprise did better then most s2000.

that is impressive, i've never tracked my S2000, but my SRT4 is only running in the mid 13's i feel like the S2000 will be slower
Mid/high 13's out of a stock S2000 is normal. But OP is in CA...and 13.2 is impressive.
The S2000 feels slower because of the lack of torque. A SRT4...or even something mundane like a V6 accord will take a S2000 in the typical stoplight derby. The S2000 needs a little room and a little finesse to get it moving.
Imagine a roll race between your 13 sec SRT and a stock S2000. With momentum, the S2000 is quick. Its just hard to get it moving...and OP did a good job of that with a 1.9 60'.
Awesome. If you had the added trq of the F22, lowered vtec, and a little more massaging with the tune/or ap1 ecu for increase redline headroom, I don't doubt someone could hit high 12's. My S has been a screamer lately with these cool winter temps. Been adding a lot of fuel to the tune to make sure its not running too lean, all that means more power. 55F is a nice temp to run.
