There is this guy at our bimmerforums.com who has a lot of experience in drag race scene.
He is the one that ran 12.56 on a stock S54 M Roadster before.
Now he has outdone himself and drove his friend's S2000 and registered 13.66!!!
He also registered 14.11 for his new Acura CL Type S 6 speed. That is fast enough to give most S2000s a run for its money.
There goes another proof. Driver makes a LOT of difference. A LOT.

p.s. If you want to read about it, go to www.bimmerforums.com and go to "kill" section.

 

M Power,

Damn...pretty impressive. This guy must have the reaction time of Spiderman, and shifts gears like a Jedi Knight or something...

 

I'd need a video and a timeslip to believe that.

 

Great, this post is going to breed another batch of S2000 ricers out there.

I will be looking forward to reading, "Stock S2000 just took out an LS1" thread.

Now the ricers will take that 13.66 and make it sound like its a daily occurance.

M Power, you should perhaps tell everyone that the S2000 that ran a 13.66 was at ATCO. One of the East Coast finest tracks. Tracks where LS1's run low 12's with traction and minor bolt-ons.

About 90% of the So Cal S2000 crowd will never see anything past 14.0 in a Bone Stock S2000 with stock rubbers.

It is true that driver makes a BIG difference, but it also takes a GREAT track to give you great numbers. Driver just learns to adapt to the track better than others.

Unicron

Contrary to popular belief, reaction time DOES NOT affect E.T.

I can sit there and stare at the green light all day and still run the same E.T. as someone who cut a .500 reaction time. He will be ahead, but we will run the same E.T.

 

Hmm, looks legit to me. The guy seems to have a lot of respect from other people there...

Of course, that doesn't mean we can all run 13.66 in our cars.

ATCO, nuff said

I think thats where they ran the new 3.5L altimas to hit a 13.9

 

well, 0-60 time is the BEST time that car can get to 60 mph, not the average time of the average driver doing that. lol.

 

I don't see why it's hard to believe the CL running that time. That's what it should run on average I would think. If you think about it, that car weighs about the same as a Mustang GT and makes the same horsepower, and has better gearing. What does a stock Mustang GT run? Around 13.8-14.2 well driven, right?

I'd expect the CLS to be right around those numbers.

I also think they would give a stock S2000 a run for their money.
