Yeah well I don't have that silly air box anymore..
But that suv has a really wide powerband and I have to give it props.. I wasn't expecting it to be that fast so yeah I had my top off & I never used my airbox lid because when your moving it doesn't matter

Good kills. Good to see some races from a stop!
An FX35, pre 2009 (280hp), trap around 90mph in the 1/4 mile. The 09+ with the VQ35HR (303hp) trap around 95mph in the 1/4. Neither should be an issue for you or any S2000. There is also an FX45 with a 4.5L V8 (320hp I think?) that is similar to the HR. The new FX50 with the 5.0 V8 traps low-mid 100s and probably makes somewhere under 400hp and will easily beat an S2000.
I know trap speeds don't mean everything in a roll race, but I can't explain why a DE or HR FX35 would do that to you. Only thing I can think of is you mistakenly didn't shift at redline and were out of your powerband.

I don't know why it was as fast as it is.. But my friend that was driving it has a 370z so he knows what he's doing.. It's not like it was a soccer mom or anything

Should be a slam dunk for the S2000.

I'm sure one of the hp/weight analyst will give details on why I should have beat it..
If my math is correct the..
EX35 power/weight is 12.6lbs/1hp (3752lbs total) link provided
S2000 power/weight is 11.9lbs/1hp (2864lbs total) wikipedia
If I'm wrong please correct..
