Don't know about this one:

S/C S must not have been tuned right, or he didn't have one at all, especially from being ahead in the first place.

It could happen due to bad driver, but if the S2000 got him off the line (which is where most S2000s will lose distance) then I find it rather suspect that it lost at all. Once it's on a decent roll, it's a tough car to beat. As one person said, a supercharged S2000 will hang with high 12s or low 13s cars from a roll...

That said, it is the street. Anything can happen.

Did I mention that I raced an '03 Cobra on foot the other day and beat it up to 10mph? He was having traction problems.... I almost had him up to 15mph, but I didn't have my Z-rated shoes on and I didn't want to exceed the 13mph rating on them. They're also badly heat cycled and sort of greasy... I could've taken him up to 20mph with a set of those new racing shoes, I'm pretty sure.

He is playing with his boost, especially with a 19 psi spike. Can't see his engine lasting very long at that range. Aren't those cars already having problems.

"How dense can you be honestly. It's a S2000, if you knew anything about them you would know that they have no torque even with a supercharger or hp to the wheels. How do I know it was supercharged because if you would of read above, a kid who knew the driver of the S2000 told my friends that it was supercharged and saw it get installed. My friend has a shop and had a stand alone management system, with a supercharger on a customers S2000 and tuned it and dynoed it, and it only had 191 to the rear wheels."

191 to the rear wheels with a blower eh? That's some magical tuning they got there...

Mount for free when you buy them or mount them free all the time? See, I'd be having to get them mounted constantly and if it's not free all the time, I'd be forced to go with another store......Sneaker Rack.
