...raced a Z4 3.0L two weeks ago.
had my girlfriend with me, he was alone.
From about 130 Km/h to 220Km/h I pulled just half a car!

I am not completely stock (cat-back exust, Comptech icebox), but I believe that these two cars are just ...too equal!!
he prob just let you inch out ahead just enough so he can check out your gf

Hello to you fellow Greek fast drivers. I am from Athens and so far I have only raced one s2000 up and down the Kavalas Avenue. He had some modification to his exhaust and I am completely stock. We raced twice at the green light and I won both races easily. At 60 mph he was behind me about 3 car lengths. As far I could see the problem with the Honda was traction so as a result before the second gear he was one car length behind me. What about you, do you have any other experiences with Z4 3.0?

You should be messing with them, because they're a good challenge for our S2000's.

They're certainly not any faster, and probably not any slower...although mag tests I've seen say differently. Its a great match-up in my opinion, and I personally can't wait to run into one.

At the green light we both started as fast as we could and the s2000 left behind easilly. The same thing hapend twice.
From a rolling start we were about equal. My z4 is completly stock and has 5000 miles on it.
umm..... used 2 have a LS/Vtec hatch(Currently for sale)http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1008620&page=1 if you wanna check it out... well 3 people in the Hatch with no passengers in the Z4... we had about 3-4 car lengths on him.. and we raced 3 times.... ok the hatch is faster than the S2K but with 3 people in it.. come on.. and there were some pretty big guys in the back of my car.well thats my story...

Please explain why your hatch is faster even from the s2000?
In my country these civics were max 160ps (stock) from a 1.6l engine. Unless you have a turbo charger I can't see how you could even provoke a Z4 to race with you.

I just described my experience previously but maybe the guy with the S2000 in your case decided not to give it a try. Oh! I forgot... I did race another Z4 3.0 that my cousin's friend has and we gave it a go and I beat him back then but he told me that he didnt made a good start.

Because he is a rice-boy and is clueless.
