I'm confused..........only because you clearly stated that the S 2000 is not as fast as its claimed to be yet you claim that you love it etc............you claim doesn't bother me at all (even if true), its just that there appears to be a contradiction between when you just said in the above response and the purpose (or the message) of this entire thread.

Again, don't get all bent out of shape. Your cars are not in the same league as a C5 straight line wise. Because a C5 would put buslengths on me, and your car can't.
Go home.

A stock S2000 cannot hang with a C5 in a race, straight or otherwise, and I'd gladly flame anyone that says they can. Not sure where you are getting your info from. A stock S2000 can, with the best driver and in the best conditions run a 13.7@102. A reasonably good driver can run 14.0@100. Your number is 13.8 and I'd say that's a good driver on a good day (we are talking bone stock here right?) I say that your loss is consistent with the math. If he got 2 on you in only a few hundred feet then that's about right. Your expectations are not consistent with the laws of physics is all.
I'll say it again, your 2 car loss as witnessed by the video is consistent with the 1/4 miles times you quote (13.8 and 15.1) give or take the skill of the driver (which we don't know, he may suck). Your assessment that you should have been beat by more is flawed and so is your hypothesis that the 1/4 mile time for the S2000 is overrated.

Damn why all the hatred towards Kleefton he's very much so a fan of the S2k, what he drives shouldn't make a difference. Big ups to you Kleef if your going to Atco let me know, I'm replacing motor mounts Friday so I should be able to go.
