Hey guys, I was coming up to a stoplight and saw a black s2000 convertible with the top down. I really wanted to see how I would fare up against this car. I believe his car was stock but can not be sure as I did not get a chance to talk to the fellow. He was in his early 20s and I gave him a look and pointed forward. Since the streets were cleared, otherwise I would not even think about it, we both decided to go for it. The light was already green lol but we waited there until both of us were ready. Thats how empty it was, no cars behind, in front, or to the sides of us. On the third Honk we both would gun it. As the third Honk sounded out, I pulled out in front of the s2000 and had a 1 car lead on it. By early second gear pulling to 3rd the s2k pulled 2 cars in front lol. As we approached another light, roughly 4 blocks down from the starting point he was like 6 cars in front of me. I have absolutely no mods I think the only reason I got the lead was because he didnt want to smoke his clutch so I am kinda sad I did so poorly against it.

wantnone,

Hey, can't win them all.

But if I see him I'll make sure to let him know a fellow rotor-head says "Bye!" .

Clayne, thanks for the backup, but I don't think your Rx7 can beat a s2000. Those cars runs 13s stock! and they handle really well too. Thanks though!
