As you can see I don't own a S2K. I'm not a troll either, I've made my email public. I'm here to see if a guy I raced south down Buckley is a member of this forum. He drives a Silver S2000. He's in the military.... he followed me off base and we raced towards Alameda. I was in a Black GTP w/ a passenger and a sticker on the window that said "RMCGP"
I'm just asking because I want to meet up w/ him and see if we can go stir up trouble sometime... I'm also curious of what that gauge on his dash was.

 

Did you win or lose? Details

 

I was going to try and stay out of that because I didn't wear any flame retardant clothing when I posted it if ya know what I mean...
I won... but... I have an intake, pulley, and light exhaust work. He was probably stock except for the gauge.

When the light changed I immediately pulled pretty hard off the line... his car got real loud (Vtec??) and he hung back there (about 1.5 CL...) and I was barely pulling away up to about 75-80 when I let off (Red light ahead) He turned off on a side road so I didn't get to talk to him. Remember that I'm over a mile high here... 5,800ft is where I got my 14.9... alot of S2000's are in mid to high 15's where some less aggressive drivers are about 16.03-16.1.

I'm not saying ALL races would go exactly like this cause I know your cars are tricky to drive... and I also am VERY aware that I may be able to take this guy in a race in a straight line from a stop... but in the curves or on a high speed roll would be very different.

Please limit the flames... I'm not here to ruffle any feathers and hopefully he is a member of this forum and will verify my story... OR EVEN BETTER:
A CO S2K and I can meet up sometime and play(straight line only please) and they can verify/denounce my claims.

 

no flame but I don't think he launched like most people do at 7000 rpms. I'm guessin the S2000 can do mid 14s in that altitude.

There's a link of a GTP with intake/exhaust/pulley vs a B20 hatch vs Prelude vs GS-T vs S2000.


Here are the vids with a GTP with your same setup, unfortunately it loses everytime, not trying to flame.

thanks for being open minded and not thinking that all races are exactly like that.

 

shists, links to vids dont' work. If you want, I'll post them on my server or something.

[B]Well.. at this altitude the fastest stock LS1's do about 14.5-14.6... and the fastest stock Vipers do 13.7's - 13.8's... There's a guy w/ a SC'd S2K that pulls 15.1's.... Altitude makes things crazy.

 

N/A's lose up to about 1.5secs across the board...
SC's lose like 1 +/-.2 (roots... centrifugal are diff.)
turbo's lose as much as .5... but many w/ a good driver can be almost as fast up here as at sea

Here's a neat link for you guys:

You can use it to see how you guys would fair up here...
(for those not too math savvy... take your ET and DIVIDE by the number to get your @ altitude number... multiply an ET to see what a time up here is comparable to at sea...)
I (traction permitting) would barely be in th 13's... 13.8-13.9

 

Wow a blown S2000 pulling a 15.1? Driver error.

I have run a 14.9 on a 90 degree day in the M coupe out at Bandimere -- it was fun to see stock automatic LS1's running mid 15's

Altitude sucks.
