well this wasn't really a street encounter i was at one of our local tracks in maryland and i just happen to get lined up next to one...and remember this is my first time ever racing my s at the track..so i really dont know how to launch this thing yet..didnt want to launch at 7k and lose my differential so i started at a bogus 3500 the first time..long story short is i lost and had a crappy time here is what the time slips said


S2000 -- 350Z
R/T -- .990 (bad) -- .590
60 -- 2.144 -- 2.226
330 -- 6.175 -- 6.169
1/8 --9.412 -- 9.368

1000 -- 12.157 -- 12.074
1/4 -- 14.488 -- 14.354
MPH -- 97.26 -- 99.50

i know didnt represent that well...still learning where to launch at...on a brighter note my next run i launched at 5200 or so and ran a 14.099 at 98.06mph the next run few more times at the track i'll figure how to launch her better and hopfully get very low 14 high 13..sorry for long post

 

No need to apologize. Looks like your second run was MUCH better. It is a really good time, especially since it's your first time out. Do you have any mods on your car?

 

what model year is your s2k?...i ran a 13.8 with a horrible alignment that costed me 2-3mph on trap speed and about .1 on my et when i was stock....my slip is posted somewhere on this site..launching try revving it up2 7500-8000 and kinda ease of the clutch...you should get 2-3 rotations of spining the tire then hook....good for 2.0 60 foot times

 

i got a aem cai....and the year of my car is a 2000 with 62xxx miles on it..ya i was a little nervous for the first time..didnt want to be one of those people who run a mid 15 in thier s2k cuz i have seen alot of people do that at the track..i'll probably come back in a few weeks and try it again

 

Good times man! I hope to get around the same time as you when I decide to go to the track.

 

Very nice for the first time! I ran a 14.5 the first time I tracked the S

 

no need to apologize, those are great times

 

The 14.4 is "ok", but only a 97mph trap ?

 

Don't worry about the lose it happens. The only Time I went to the track I beat 2 buy a fair amount. They are a really good challege with a good driver

 

nice run! 14.4 is pretty good. iam pretty sure with some practice, you'll hit 13's. alot of 350z drivers hit mid-high 14's and some even in the 15's. i've driven my friends s2k many times and its pretty hard and tricky to launch. i have a 350z and i always race my friends s2k and its a drivers race. from a dig, it depends on who gets a better launch. but i usually lose. from a roll, i have a slight advantage, maybe 1/2-1 car. if i can have one more car, its will be a s2k.
