I like to know my role, and know where I stand when someone revs me. Being a new S2K owner (2 months now) I haven't seen an all encompassing thread here. If there is one just post the link and I'll close this one. Anyway I decided to try and make the the all encompassing S2K kill or be killed thread.

Let's try and get a list of things the S2K will beat/has beaten (stock and mods are ok but please note both), the list of cars that are a drivers race (again stock and mods are ok), and the list of things an S2K would lose to (the smallest list no doubt ).

Please note this is STOCK only - no mods...that would get really complicated!!

"in a straight line, 1/4 mile distance, from a standing start."

No Smack Talking...start another thread for that!!!

You might want to add no smack talking because that will take up most this post and shifting through that crap will really suck. We will create a smack talking post dedicated to this post later. I'll start I guess. Stock first
1. Acura RSX 2. Audi TT 3. BMW Z3 4. BMW Z4 5. All PT Cruisers 6. Ford Mustang V6 7. Honda Civc 8. Honda Prelude 9. Hyundai Tiburon 10. Infiniti G35 11. Mazda Miata 12. Mercedes-Benz E-class 3.2L 13. All Mitsubishi Eclipse 14. Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L 15. Porsche Boxter 2.7L 16. Saab 9 3 17. Toyota Celica 18. Toyota MR2 Spyder
I think that does it for stock.

And you better stick to, "in a straight line, 1/4 mile distance, from a standing start." Or things get even stickier.

Dreamcation's Eclipse should be noted as "stock" because some common modded will eat us for lunch. And the stock one's won't rev on you.

Is there any stock front-wheel-drive that'll beat a stock S?

I believe none of the stock BMW 3-series non-M will beat us. Same for the 1.8T motored Audi/VW rides (stock). Stock Nissan 300Z and Mitsu 3000 (Dodge Stealth) won't beat us.

The Mustang GT is a driver's race (near even). Rumor has it the Nissan 350z is a driver's race.

I only listed stock cars because moded cars will get a ton of smack and there's too much detail to explain.

I can:
Skoda
pre-new Beetle Beetle
any stock Chrysler K car
AMC Pacer
Chev Sprint
Geo Metro
VW Thing
old style Mini
Tribant
VW Rabbit
VW Eurovan
Audi Fox
Hummer H1
4 cyl Jeep Wrangler
The aquacar
Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Toyota Echo
Nissan Stanza
Mazda 323
Porsche 914
And any entry in the Nanaimo Bathtub Race.
*** Stock of course. If you put a 426 hemi into any of these, it'll blow your doors off so fast your ears would pop.
