Hey guys,

I know S2000s are track and not a drag cars but my buddies and I are still going once a year just for fun. It was my first time with the S2k and I must say that while it is not a drag car, it can still do pretty good! My car is an AP2 2005, stock except a K&n FPKI.

My buddies best time (they all have light mods):

• Corvette C5: 13.4
• Infinity G37: 13.7
• Audi S4 2005: 14.3
• Integra 2001 JDM Spec-r : 14.4 (toasted clutch though)
• Genesis 2.0L turbo: 15.3

While these times are not crazy, we were among the quicker ones at the strip, everybody was complaining about traction issues...

Here is my time slip:

Reaction: .947
I1: 2.115
I2: 6.120
I3 8.895
E.T. 13.770
MPH: 100.379

So anyways, for all those who think S2000 can do anything on the drag... I was .3 second behind the C5 corvette I think 13.7 is pretty damn good for a car with no tork

 

I enjoy drag racing from time to time myself.

What was the DA?

Was the S4 towing something? A second S4 perhaps?

Excellent ET btw

 

DA?

I am not sure about the S4... AWD german are not that quick IMO. I think its just a big good looking confortable car that can pull stuff lol. He usualy made good times with his previous cars so I don't blame the driver.

 

DA = Density Altitude. What were the weather conditions?

Nice, not too bad at all... I'm a long time drag racer (20+ years) but I have yet to even try to launch my s2k hard because I know it wouldn't touch any of my purpose built drag cars...

 

I found this on a website, but this is probably in best possible conditions with a professional driver. 2005 Audi S4 0-60 mph 5.4 Quarter Mile 13.7

Nice time on the S. Thats a really quick et. I woulda thought it would been around 14.5 area stock. Good job. Im gonna take mine to the strip for fun next month and now ill have a goal.

 

Thx guys,

For the density, it was about 15 degrees celcius and pretty dry, a bit cold for traction but great for the engine.
About the altitude, I have no idea. The strip is 'Luskville dragway' about 15 minutes from Ottawa (canada).

For the S4... I think high 13 or low 14 would have made more sense for a car with 340hp... but I dont know lol, german cars ehehe. I had a BMW 330Ci sport package before and I dont think I will ever get another german car. No hate or anything but if not brand new, or below 75K km, I find that they dont perform.

 

Density Altitude is a function of Actual altitude, barometric pressure, and Temp. given that it was cool and dry, the DA was probably low (not a drag racer myself but I am an aviator so I use DA a lot)

 

Ah ok, then I have no clue what the DA was.

 

Yea, the higher the DA the less engine performance you get.

 

Correction, the S4 best was 14.3 not 14.6.

Sorry!
