Here we go again folks.

The guy makes a good case for avoiding 18x9's (at least if you plan on dragging).
FWIW, who are all these high 14-second owners who keep getting their 1320's quoted in kill forums? Ooops, must be Road and Track and Car and Driver editors borrowing the car. Anyways, you've got to love a site where one owner identifies the World Heavyweight champ as Lexxon Lewis.

Most people (98.7% very accurately measured ) that own an S2000 don't know how to drag it. In other words they don't know how to launch the car. ( Not really what the car is meant for anyways.) Plus there are those people who might be able to learn how to launch there S2000's but are afraid of the consequences. (premature wear and tear on the engine, transmission, and tires) That said it still anoyes the hell out of me that those people that intentionally drag their S2000's don't know how to do, and haven't learned to do it good enough to net the best possible results.

Don't mind those SRT boys. They're mainly just dumb shits. For example, they were telling me a 102mph trap speed at the 1/4mi is almost as fast as 118mph.

The SRT-4 is fast, run downpipe/CAI and boost upgrade you will hit 12s on stock tires.
Never compare a NA tuned car with turbo, they are in different leagues

UL... you beat me to it, I was going to jump all over that one. A Neon SRT with an intake, downpipe and 'boost upgrade' running 12's on stock tires. I think you have the Neon confused with some other car. All of the times I've seen thus far are 14 sec. times... that must be one hell of a boost upgrade, we must be talking space shuttle boost upgrade.
