Because he has the K20 he will stomp you stock(N/A). Honestly remember he has all that weight up front on his tires for traction and ways up too 300lbs less than you. There was a k20 civic that raced me and he kept up with me pretty good and was all motor. I only beat him by a car length! There quick little fudgers! Yet, just remember your in a S and he is in a Civic. Last time I was in a civic I didnt ever get the looks from people I get while in my S.

As for the idiot that posted S2000 was not built for drag racing! Neither is a Cobalt SS yet if you watch Sport Compact NHRA what is a drag car. You can make a car into anything. Also honda made it quick for what taking turns. LOL a Miata will smoke us taking turns so what was the S made for???? For People to make them to what they want and enjoy its all around performance!

By the way.The S2000 was not made for drag racing.
neither are mustangs, camaros, civics, wrx's or motorcycles... they are made to drive on the street from point A to B. But people use them for drag racing & have a good time doing it.
Some cars just need more upgrades than others to be good at it.

You do know he said an Ep3 Civic,not a Eg,EK Civic.The Ep3's weight about 2730 lbs.So i don't know about stomping the S2k.Depends what kind of motor work he got.....

S2000 are common as Civics now days… I saw 7 S2000's (3 Red, 2 Yellow, 1 Black and 1 Blue) on my way into the office this morning… In the S2000 it’s like I’m invisible (just another car) nothing special, but in my other rides I get a great deal of attention…

It depends where you live. In Cali I saw S2000s all over. In Indiana they are very rare...a lot of people ask me what it is. Then they are very surprised it is a Honda.

I've had more people comment about my S2000 than my Porsche Turbo.

I purchased my S new in 03 when I went up for the race at Indy… Went up for the race and came back with a car… Had a great time while I was there...

So i was at the local barber shop with my barber and we were talking about cars and some how he told me he knew the EP and started telling me what he had. He told me he said that he had a k24 with a K20 head with 75 shot of nos, guess he was lying to me when he told me he just had a k20 with bolt on's.

The fact that you have Slosuzka Blue didn't help you.

a k20 hatch with bolt-ons should beat you anyways though...
