nope, not the economy..this is part of our lives not our whole life..we are also busy watching our kids grow, getting married, and living life. Also remember we test parts on the car and things break as well. Case in point Redstar's car has a rear that took us a while to get right and a tranny we also tested to get sorted out and the testing to manufacturing back to testing is such a lengthy process..so we try new things to get it out on the market for customers. Team PR has done a brilliant job and I'm sure the numbers will come down for them and for us. Good luck everyone.
Congrats on the marriage!

I understand that you guys are trying out various setups, but it shouldn't take too much to get it right. Shoot, there are cars running 8s on Apexi N1 ($1300) suspension setup.

He most certainly is...and while his times are certainly very good there is obvious room for improvement. No hating here..simply telling you how it is. Getting an S2000 into the 8s shouldn't be trivial. I think people are trying to make too much power and can't apply it on the track. ~2500lbs, ~650rwhp, good suspension and slicks is the recipe.

Just ignore 2qyk4u. His fuil drag build was obviously going to be the best ever which is why he didn't complete it, because it was going to be just that awesome, but he feels it's still ok to talk down on people who have done it.

Also his wife's 400whp Evo is definitely faster than this slow P.O.S. 9 second drag card.

Anyway awesome work. I don't care if your car is 18 different colors. 9 seconds is 9 seconds.

Keep talking like that and people are going to start referring to you as a genius. Interestingly enough I still hold the record for the highest hp S2000 with the least amount of boost.

Sorry but that S2000 looks like a$$. At least when I was building a full drag S2000 it was still going to look badass.

Its easy to make power when u have money!!! But driving it is a different story! Not sure how long this motor is gonna last, but if its done right and driven right then it might last along time

Couldn't agree with you more! And in the racing community, you practically need an endless supply of money to be competitive!

My S2000 never made it to the track when it was FI...and it never got a chance for a full tune either.
