The Modena is a 4.0-4.4 sec car, never seen a article that said 3.6 sec. Also, that race sounded like a semi-ricer flyby. I lived in NY, that is pretty crazy driving fast down there (pretty hairy). If you plan on doing too many of those 7K launches be careful, the clutch & dif on the S2K have been known to disintegrate from too many of those. Especially during the break in period.

I have heard several people don't burn a DROP of oil by winding the motor out since they day they got in it. I wonder what the % of oil burning is for those that followed the break-in vs. those who didn't in the S2k?

My first loss was an F355... Something about Ferraris just makes you WANT to lose to them!

Here in Newton we have Ferrari dealership. One moring I caught the owner driving his red modena. Beautiful

I heard he goes out and open that thing on the track. As I heard, he ran 1/4miles 12.1seconds. That was agaisnt 99 Viper who ran 12.9seconds.

That would've been fat ass drag race to watch.

When I saw the title I figured you ran up to one and used your California Duster on it since that was the only way an S2000 driver could dust a Modena. You seem to have found another way.
