Default 13.8 1/4 mile time

Which publication was it that got a 13.8 1/4 mile time for the S2000? I really need a link to that information. Thanks.

I believe it was Motor Trend, but don't quote me on that.

I was pretty sure it was MotorTrend too. They had 2 tests. The first one, they got like a 14.2 or 14.4. I can't find a link to the 2nd test.

There really is no link.

If you look in the November issue of Motor Trend, you'll find a 'review summary' toward the end of magazine.

You'll find it there, and for every other production car in the U.S. for that matter...from price to quarter mile times.

You should also find identical information in Road and Track's review summaries as well.

Don't know if they're online though.

Road & Track made the false 4.9 claim posting the NSX times for the S2000.
