My friend's brother has a 99 GSX and he test drove my car. He told me S2000 feels MUCH faster and that he needs to start modifying his car....He liked our car a lot!!!

 

I had a chance to play with a seemingly unmodified 3000GT with multiple roll-ons. We'd both pull back from traffic and blast from maybe 25 to 60 MPH and then have to brake for traffic ahead and repeat four times. I was in the "correct" gear each time and I pulled a car length quickly, every time.

Older version DSM's r faster than the newer ones, but a stock DSM won't be faster than a stock S2k unless it has more boost..

 

So once and for all...Will my stock S2K beat a VR-4 from a roll (of any speed)? (I realize it would be bad outcome from a light.) There's a guy I know who has a 1995 Lime-color vr4 with 18" chromes and exhaust with only like 35k miles...anyways, back to my question???

 

Off the line-------> NO WAY!!
from a roll ------> maybe, but he'll kill u at top speeds

 

I traded a fairly modded 99 Eclipse GS-T in on my S and let me tell you, my Eclipse would embarass the S in ANY type of straight line race. Dead stop, roll-on, highway roll-on, doesn't matter. They are very easy to mod. I would say with all of the mods to my Eclipse they probably totalled the cost of the Comptech S/C. My Eclipse dynoed about 350 hp to the wheels (FWD). I ran 12.8's at around 113-114 without slicks. On the highway, I would leave C5's in the dust at pretty much any speed.

 

Maybe mitsubishi thought it was the trend being that US lost

mazda rx7
toyota supra
nissan 300zx

 

if the VR-4 is the newer 94+ style with the 6 speed and the increased stock boost with 320hp, and the driver wasn't too terrible, then an S2000 will not beat a VR-4 assuming the VR-4 is on boost (not too tough, they have some mad torque at only 2500rpm) and the S2k was in VTEC. From 70+, the VR-4 should slowly walk away because of the 80hp advantage. But you have to realize, you won't find many stock VR-4s that have even decent drivers. Any VR-4 driver worth his snuff is going to at least have a boost controller, in which case the S2000 doesn't stand a chance.

 

I never really like the older eclipse's...the newer ones I really don't like.
