6k-7k quick clutch slip and mind your rear differential. 1.9ish 60' times are possible.

What kind of tires are you running?

This sounds a lot better to me than "clutch drop"!

haha be careful you don't blow the differential gears. Our differential are notorious for breaking down due to hard launches. Just an FYI

Jeeez 6.5k drop? That can't be too good LOL.

IMO, I'd just stick to racing on a road course and autocrosses. I don't see the s2000 as meant for drag racing.

Autocrosses still require the 6.5 clutch dump if you wanna be fast.

yeah my best 1/4 time was a 13.6 and that was a good slip with still a ton of wheel spin. 2.2 60 ft, at 103.79mph. intake catback, testpipe.

Exactly, I used to launch my 5.0 at 2500, and that was pushing it.

Next time around, I'll try higher.

I'm running 4 different tires lol.

I'm waiting to fix something, then going to get new wheels/tires.

pics!? Im a huge fan of stangs

eventually Ill have a 69mach 1 in the garage some day. But the new 5.0 2011 stang is VERY tempting.
