Thats a ricer saying haha. If my car had NOS and a turbo you would have been killed. The fact is the S2000 stock doesn't have a turbo.

I was driving out to carlisle last spring and a stock soltice with a plate that read 2FAST4U was driving in the slow lane. I read his plate and was instantly bothered so i poped 3rd gear vtec by him. slowed down to let him catch up than destroyed him. Change your license plate or get something faster you homo

All of the reviews I've read for both cars have them at about 5.5 sec for 0-60 and just under 14 in the 1/4 mile. If you believe one is faster than the other it's because you have a bias - in reality it will always be a driver's race.

true, but from a roll, i'd bet turbo lag does it in unless the sky brake boosts.

i didnt buy one largely because of the turbo lag. the NA s2000 takes off right away, but the turbo sky has to wait for the power to spool up.
NA S2000 takes off right away I wish. this car doesnt really move till VTEC. I drove my friends 350Z and the thats the take off right away feel cuz of the torque difference that the s2k seems to b missing

Oh, that's true--I didn't remember that.

I really just hate waiting for boost. It really ruined the fun of the test drive for me when I took a Sly Redline out. One of the first things I did was get on the freeway in top gear and step on it. It went like a Miata while the boost built and then suddenly it pressed me back into my seat and took off. I hate the wait.

On the torqueless S2000 you have to shift to get it, but the power is there as soon as you can put it in gear. I feel powerless waiting for boost, but I feel like I'm the problem when I don't shift fast enough.
