I am sorry that you havent hit VTECH yet. I think the VTECH company has been doing good lately, please don't ruin it for them.

Hate to burst your bubble but the 6spd manual lsd equipped cl/tl-s cars run about neck and neck with a stock S2000 in the 1/4 with maybe a tiny bit slower e.t. Generally 14.1 @ 99-100 mph is not out of the question and most people can't drive their stock S to 14 flat @ 99 to save their life.

With who behind the wheel? It's a 260hp car that weights almost 3500 lbs. Best times I have seen is 5.9 0-60, mid 14 1/4 mile for an 03 6MT.

unless you've seen it with your own eyes, it didn't happen.

most of the boastings on threads are lies. While I agree people can get better times than the mags, they are not THAT much better.

So, wanna compare said 14.1 best case time for the TL with a magazine time for a S2000? You should compare like to like. In this case, the best documented for a stock S2000 is 13.6.

Oh, and I could've sworn the TL/CL type S cars only put out 200 to the wheels, just like the S2000. Similar power, almost 600 pounds more weight....hmmm.

First off, there is no such thing as an 2003 6spd manual TL-S, only the CL-S came with that option in the last couple years of production. Second, the transmission in the TL and TL-S is CRAP! Drivetrain powerloss is HUGE!. I know this because I watched a couple TL-S dyno on Dynojet and they only put down 190-200whp! Assuming you know how to drive, the S2000 will easily run away from a regular 3.2 TL autotragic.
