You guys need to chill it. 
Nobody is saying that SL65 isn't a badass because hell yeah it is. For $180K, it's oughta be.
For that money, I'd buy something else though. But I just felt like correcting you when you said modding won't make a difference. There are different levels of modding. Hell yeah it will make a difference if the S is heavily modded, with turbo and all. My point was that modding WILL make a difference. That is all to my point.

See, thats where I dont agree. I honestly believe this car will run very low 11s, and quite possibly high 10s with a good set of tires and some good gas. The beauty of it being that its a slushbox, so it wont take all that much to get really good times out of it. Torque it slightly, watch for wheelspin and youre done.
Compare that to launching a high hp turbo s2000. Do the big power guys even launch their cars? I seem to recall............no. Not to mention that the high hp guys have to deal with lag, shifting, etc. Have you seen the tq curve on a twin turbo benz? Its pretty crazy.
Sure, its 180k, but that wasnt the point. The car is what it is. If you spent 180k on an S2000 you might be able to go faster, but then you would be forever regarded as the fool who sunk 200k into a 30k car.
Enough of this, anyway. Im outa here.

oh sorry typo
chris actually should and parted out his turbo kit about 3months ago after he made front cover...
chris actually parted out his turbo kit about 3 months ago.
i am not really breaking down right now but actually laughing at you at the moment if you knew what went on at the boards then you would know that where are a couple s2000's that ran 10's..
i have a few question to ask you
have you run your car in a quarter mile?
what time did you get?
now stick on a intake what time would you get? probably .1-.3 off right or am i wrong?you're only adding what 10 hp at the most?
now say you're gonna put 400 more hp into your engine.
now mutiply the .1 by 40
that is about 4-5 seconds right? well if you can't do the math here it is .1*40= 4
and you can run .2 faster with cai and you can run .0 faster right?
well so you've added 400 hp to your engine... that is a proven statement. so 4+ seconds you're gonna cut off... 5 at the most... so even if you 15.5 then you would get times of 11.5-10.5
am i wrong anyone... and you really can't do this "rice" calculating cause i don't have every kind of car to prove this.
now feel free to edit my post but don't be like a baby and keep saying rice and rice this and rice that

the sl65 is said to run low 11's and this is a pro driver... and how would i know
i don't because i don't own a damn sl65 amg
i personally would have gotten a viper which looks better.
do you even know which way to hood opens in a ls6? probably not
damn yella thanks for chasing away this car newb.
and if you want to be one of these high hp guys i bet it would only cost you two s2000's one buying and one putting 30k into it
headlights are for my daily driver. chrome is for something else... not actually paint a body part...
and the ls2 s2000 is more of my project car you dickless

what??? winning? or lead? howso. by saying whatever you do to a s2000 it won't be faster then a sl65? now prove how far he is
also he makes faulty statements everywhere
this is rice
this is not
faulty statements everywhere... doesn't know anything about weight to power ratio.
probably can't even tell the difference between 4.77 gears and stock gears.
know shit about what can be done to an s2000... knows shit what was done to a s2000. thinks that the second picture is rice. when they should have looked like that in the first place. and he talks like he can read my mind.
oh yeah thisis basically my daily driver s2000 setup
adn most of the stuff would be going into the special one` with oem sidestrakes
