So I am currently in Invermere on business with a few colleagues and one of them has a friend from Ontario out here for a few days. Daddy bought her a new '05 M3 Convertible and she absolutely, and I quote, swears on her life that her car is quicker than a supercharged S2000.

The fact that she weighs almost 200 pounds aside, I had to make sure her ignorant ass understood what a supercharged S2000 is capable of.

I told her I wished she had brought her car so I could arrange a proper ass-kicking.

I love when people can pull a horsepower number out of their ass but have no clue as to how much their car weighs or are completely clueless as to what benefits other cars have to offer.

Sorry if some of my sentences seem kinda bad but I am currently drinking and partying in Radium Hot Springs.

 

haha, a convertible M3 is good for low to mid 13's... a stock s2000 has a decent chance against a bad driver in the vert M3

 

Comptech mustered a 4.7 sec. 0-60 time along with a low 13 sec. 1/4 mile at 108 mph I believe with their supercharged S. Now Dave's S2000 has all the same parts (different manufacturer's on some of the parts but they all do the same thing) and then some that the Comptech S has. There is no way in hell a porky, cowl shaking M3 convertible would touch a pressurized S2000 unless the S2000 driver has no driving skills whatsoever. An M3 coupe should be had by a forced S, let alone the heavier and slower convertible. I am sure there are owners in the street encounters forum that could certainly verify this by personal experience.

 

supercharged s2k

 

I don't generally street race to prove anything. However, having owned a ZR-1 and a 400HP version of the old Viper, I can tell you that my current S pulls "almost" like those cars. Does the M3 vert perform like either of those cars? If so, then I would get "beat".
Remember the "legendary" race between the last gen SLK AMG and Bobby's Comptech S2000 (before it had an intercooler and when Mark owned it - no "gears")? The vid clearly showed that the S/Cd S beat the AMG. Would that M3 beat that AMG? (Since we're all just speculating anyway.)

 

reading this makes me want a supercharger even more

 

is this in a striaght line ?

if not on a road course a s2000 can kill a M3 on the tskuba track later guys,,,

 

I must have seen a different version of it. Clearly the AMG was faster and Mark was infamous for saying, 'my car isn't in VTEC yet, we need to run again!!!' and same result Anyway, doesn't really matter, I'll take the S/C S2K over the M3

 

Just look at the power to weight ratio. M3 conv. - 333HP, 3800 pounds
xvS2k - 340HP?, 2800 pounds. It's not even close.

 

Plus the 200 pounds worth of woman driving the M3.

S2KCal is bringing (hopefully) the car out during the next week since I am having severe withdrawl pains having not driven it for over two months.
