Its just funny how people will still talk smack these days...like he didn't know that post would eventually show up here ... LOL !!! what a jackass!!!

with that said... this friend off mine had the same car in the early 90's
to make a long story short I had a GEO STORM GSI... witch has about half the power of my S2k.... and he tried count less times to take me and never could.... he wound up selling it and buying a 280z can't remember what year but that was more competition then the 85 RX7...... all I have to say is BRING IT !!!! LOL!!!!

An S2000 vs. a near-stock 1st-gen RX7 NA. That car is probably slower than a Miata.

I am sick of hearing this crap. I have been in/seen a few s2000s. Here's the low down. It's a friggin upper 13s car with a damn good driver who doesn't mind revving the shit out of it or a LOW 14s. A NA Supra, 3000GT, or RX7 without substantial mods (meaning a friggin similar timesheet) won't beat the car. Beating the driver is possible but that's the case in any car. I have heard many of my own people (3SI) think they can take the s2000 with the NAs. 9 out of 10 times it won't happen unless you have the mods like I have said. I had a slightly modded NA 3000GT that got the floor wiped by a stock s2000 (with just a CIA) from a stop, from a roll, from anything. I have no idea why the RX7 people bitch about their NA losing to this car. It's just a fact.

People and there silly 1/4 comparison. I get that all the time......"Well what do you run on the track cause I run 13's". Which is irrelevant on the street. And then when I do run them and beat them they can't believe it. From now on when that happens to me on the street I am going to bet them money. That my 14 sec 1/4 SC s2000 can be there 13 sec car.
