Alright...so it was a boring night and I was with my friend cruising around. We stop by this one place and I see a friend of mine with his 2000(I think) trans am. Since there was nothing else to do and it was late he asked if I wanted to run - I agreed.

We went to a local highway and went from about a ~45mph roll.

Three honks ...... I got raped, he just flew away.

Is this right? I think he was stock and I would consider myself an ok driver as well.

Thanks~

 

Sounds about right.

 

The LS1 (98-02) T/A is most likely putting down 300+ rwhp and 300+ rwtq in a stock trim.

Even though F-bodys do weigh more than S2K, it will still slaughter stock S2K.

 

Not to mention all TransAms have turbo boost.
Later models included super pursuit mode as well.















sorry for lame knight rider reference, couldn't help myself.

 

Sounds about right. A car that traps around 100 mph will lose badly to a car that traps 106-108. It's like in the other thread: a car that traps around 110mph will lose to a car that traps 118+.

 

Good death

Sounds like what would happen when a stock S' takes on a low 13 second car

 

joo just got owned

 

i find it hilarious that you expected the outcome to be any different.

 

Don't feel bad. The same thing happened to me when I first got my s2000. It's not meant for dragging. Challenge him to an autocross event and you'll be seconds ahead of him and he'll have the feeling of being spanked when he's sliding everywhere and slamming on his brakes at every turn. The s2000 is a very athelitic, well-balanced, nimble track car. Use it for what it's made for and you'll enjoy it and find it more challenging in autocross or road racing instead of illiegal dragging.

 

It is true that S2K has an edge over the F-Bodys on the twisties, but the most of the encounters occurs on the streets/hwy for a straight line race.

As for twisties, I like my Z06's performance.
