This guy is the street racing king of S2ki. He beats any and everything while basing all his information on vague youtube videos.

An auto vert might be a decent race with a great s2k driver. Just because some people run low 13's in them doesn't mean anyone can do it. I've seen more than one of them run 14's all night long at the track.

hey buddy..
ill upload a video for you real soon me vs my friend's 335i.

you probably can't drive for SH*T and bring your little self to my city and ill show you whats good.




btw you're an idiot, in that video the m3 runs a 12.6 1/4 mile.
how the #### am i basing my information on that saying i can beat a E46 M3?
your ignorant as* probably didn't even watch the video



anything happens on the street you dumb sh*t, you probably get out-driven all day so you lose to every car that's almost as fast.

as for some people, we OUT-DRIVE most drivers on the road making it capable for us to beat cars slightly faster than us.

Listen man I'm not 10 years old like you, your posts reek of immaturity.

Don't bring up drivers skill involving a roll race. Start in your power band and shift 2-3 gears. Secondly you're missing the point here, the cars in question are faster than a S2000 with out a doubt. Rather than acknowledging that you beat the drivers you ramble on about how fast your driving/car is. So I can pull on a LP640 if the guy at the wheel is asleep, does that change the fact that the car itself is easily capable of pulling on me? No, end of story.

And of course what I said flew over your head about the M3 and youtube video so I'm not even going to explain.

you idiot, do you not read?
i said i OUT-DRIVE most drivers which means i outdrove the M3 i raced.
I already acknowledged that the m3 is faster on the straight line by alot when i posted the video.

They'll run 13.0 with a good driver...I've done it. There are plenty of vids with them running 12's with a great driver and some DR's. More importantly they are capable of trapping at a little over 107mph which is about 6-7mph faster than the S2000. If you think the M3 is not the faster vehicle then you're fooling yourself...anything can happen on the street. How does an M3 'sound like an automatic'...and the SMGII tranny in the E46 M3 is a manual tranny with a hydraulic clutch and no pedal...it's not an auto.

I admitted that the guy missed a gear, that's a delay, and that made it hard for him to catch up. I had another race with an M3, he was ahead like 2 cars. I just posted this video as to show that if an M3 missed a shift, or didn't start at the same time as the S2000 it's hard to catch up. Eventhough he started first (M3) the miss shift delayed him big time.

Yep...you have have to have a pretty substantial power advantage to make up for poor driving.
