Are you serious dude!?! Holy shit. yes we've been through this before, and why is it hard to believe that the S is slightly faster. I never said it was no drivers race. Let's say both have equal drivers, and both launch perfectly, the S is going to pull the Z period. From a roll the Z will have a better chance because it's weight effects it's performence less. I keep hearing about some of these Z's, or S drivers being pulled on after 110-120, but in my experience it's yet to happen from a roll. Please define what a ricer comment means exactly since your so ready to call my comment one....
wait.... so you said "I never said it was no drivers race" and then you said "Let's say both have equal drivers, and both launch perfectly, the S is going to pull the Z period" So at the same time it's a driver race but then you said the S will pull period???? I dont get your point....

Even with the gears don't underestimate them...it still won't be a blow out.
with gears you can run with a GTO. that means owning a z, off the line and through every gear. not a race if the s has gears, just ask wisconsin2k.

At high speeds a stock S will not keep up with a Z. How do I know...well, I have the mods that are in my sig and at high speeds I barely hang with them. A stock S though, I'll beat.

The Z is a fast car but with gears, yes, you'll destroy a stock Z

yes, an S with 4.57's is faster than a Z. Before I was SC, I raced 4-5 Z's with my 4.57's and didnt lose once from a dig, or rolling from 30 or at highway speeds.

The gears will net a win for sure if you are a decent driver

[QUOTE=leatherface_ca,Sep 15 2005, 06:23 PM] Please explain why the S2k is faster than Z in a stock form? I thought we went through this topic million times already, it's a driver race. Simply saying the S2k is faster than Z in stock form is a ricer comment.... I love the S but we need to back up comments like that...... no hard feelings

it would be if they drive like me. from a stoplight roll to 90mph i've never had any stock S2000 do better than stay within 5 cars.

um basically yes...why is that so hard to understand. Here let me break it down so you understand clearly. Drivers race because both cars are very similar in performence. so what happens when one driver F's up, the other will win. Now I said the s will win if both drivers are equally good, and both nail there driving. I don't think I could say it as clear as that. Don't get me wrong man, it's looks like you think that I think the S is ganna kill a Z or something like hat. I am not a z hater, I like the z myself(even though I am not a fan of the looks of it).
