The ULTIMATE VIDEO- 350z vs. S2000
The Build Up... A background to the source of the video...
As I promised... myself and 3fiddyz wanted to end this ridiculous controversy of what car is faster.
In the process... We had svtmach1 (jsep productions www.jsept.tv) there to film the whole thing
The video itself is amazing! in an hour he cut and edited the whole thing. He could have done more, and we actually intended on having 3 more camera's out there (but just found it to be not necessary for this)...
The setting:
Aaron- 3fiddyz: 2003 FairladyZ with plenum and intake- slight advantage- BUT... advantage neutralized with 200lbs Camera man
Joe- Joeking1978: 2002 Suzuka blue S2000- Stock! (with 18" SSR GT1's)
[/LIST]SUMMARY )

Joe,
nice video and you made some good points. BUT, the 18's slow you down and the the Z had an intake (which helps most of all at speed). Overall, good video and explanation.

to answer both of your topics... those 18's are lighter then stock... and have made no difference in my times (track tested)... with the exception of autocross... they break easier.
We had both cars dyno'd at the freshwater tour... We found the exact hp that the plenum and intake provided. By calculation... the 200lbs passenger exactly equals the same power to weight ratio...
plus... we had the EXACT same results in all the times we ran before he had it installed... If he doesn't have a passenger however... he will pull me more easily from a roll then in the video...
but thanks
for the good words!
(give some props to svtmach1 for filming and editing to though1 )

The 18's will slow you down due to the larger overall diameter, it's the same as going to taller rear end gears...not a good thing on an S2000. Throw some shorter gears on there and you'll smoke him.

Both of us know how to drive- in fact we were 3 and 4 best lap times (me first! -with shitty tires too ) out of 40 at the TireRack's autocross.

who says that all 18" wheels will automatically produce a bigger diameter?

that's why you get the proper tire with the right aspect ration so it won't screw with the overall rolling diameter.

F=mv2/r (force equals MASS x velocity x 2 divided by RADIUS
And also... WHO MOVED THIS FROM THE GALLERY!!?? wtf!? I put this in there for the video... obviously the story sounds like a street encounter... but you have to give a story to go with the video... there's already a copy IN street encounters... stupid.
