vw/audi 1.8/2.0T engines are no joke after mods! $600 gets you an ecu flash and 50+hp.

Yea I did use LC on that run. Software flash is the best bang for your buck mod on these cars.

See thats what I was thinking. I know S2k's are 13.xx cars stock and my car modded is low 14's and maybe breaking 13's with some better tires. The thing is, there were other s2k's running that night and none of them touched my time. Same with Rsx-s, and even a few Srt-4's.

Whats so funny BlownAP?
Alot depends on how you launch your car. The S2000 in your vid had a horrible 60 ft time.. Stock S2000's will pull 2.0's and 1.9's 60ft's with a good launch. I think you got away with one..Here's a few times from basically stock s2k members...

no disrespect to the GTi, since my friend has a 6spd mkV as well and i like the car, but a rwd car losing to a fwd in the 1/8 is just wrong

Lol..No an S2000 losing to a GTI is just wrong..

My friend has an APR stage 2 MKV + bolt-ons, and managed to run a tenth slower then I did stock...He ran 13.8@101...The best time I've seen for stage 2 MKV's is 13.7@102...Stage 2 just to run with a stock S2000 is pretty funny IMO. And they need boost on there 2.0 to do what we do all motor with a 2.0...And yet there the 1st ones to make fun of our torque, or lack there of..silly VW owners...Gotta love Honda!

Also my buddies stage 2 MKV weighed in at 33** lbs at the track with him in it. That thing needs to go on a diet before it goes anywhere.
