Of course i will lose a lot of races. That wasn't my point. Can somebody here please take me serious?
I just want to buy a s2000, because it is a beautiful car. You don't see them as much as STI, 350z and evolutions. I want something that other people don't have. I like being different. Over time when i modify it i don't want to be disappointed if i race a similarly modified 350z, evolution or a sti. I would rather let the better driver win, and not the car.
Thanks

non rev up 350z is a drivers race. Stock vs stock.

s2k and 350 are dead even. If you want to win buy a cheap 00 model and put a turbo in it.

you can make an s2000 run a high ten quarter mile without building the motor, just a bolt on turbo kit, head gasket, clutch and 225 wide drag radials. Let me see a 350 do that.

S2000's are capable of 13.7 bone stock, with a 4.77 gear you can run a low 13.

S2000's are fast if your not a puszy ass driver.

www.streetfire.net and other street racing websites dont have any s2k videos. and if they do they show it being beatin by 350z,sti..
i really want to buy a s2k. but i dont want to buy it and then get beat by anybody, you know?
I will probably be supercharging it.
I had a supercharged s2k, it was fast. But there is always something faster.

And some advice, if your looking for a daily driver, don't buy-to-mod. Try to get what you want right from a car right out the box.

350z Twin Turbo track times, on "low" boost.

From what I understand, the motor is stock.

*Edit* After looking around some more, the block is sleeved. Not sure if that is considered a built motor. I still think the 350z can get into the 10's with a stock block. But to your credit, it doesn't look it has been done yet.
