Default S2000 -vs- 330i

Alright guys, how do we do against stock 330i's. Has anyone run with one? I have a friend that has one and wants to go - I don't want to lose!!!!! He has driven my car and thinks he could take me- What do you think? We are both stock.
thanks

I walked one pretty hard from a roll on the freeway a month ago. I had the top down, too.

I walked an E46 model with a "33 i" decal on the back - your guess is as good as mine

I spanked a 2002 330i coupe from a standstill and a roll, it was no problem at all. Both cars stock.

A well driven 330 will do 0-60 mph in about 5.8 secs. and run the 1/4 in about 14.7-14.8... should be no match for a well driven S2000. If you race from a stop and blow the lauch you'll have some catching up to do.

so are s2000s. I don't know why some people have difficulty. It's rev up to VTEC range, let go of clutch......that will give you a good enough launch to beat a 330 beamer 10/10 times. Really not too hard.
