I'm sure many of you have gone to this extreme edge of what the S2K has to offer...

When was the last time you did this?

And how long did it last? 10 seconds, 20...30?

Lol, it almost sounds like an orgasm...

What a metaphor...

The 6th gear redline of an S2K is equivalent to an amazing orgasm.

BTW...what's this I hear about it being safe to rev the S2K to 12,000-13,000 RPM (with a Spoon attachment)...

Have a good weekend everyone

 

Sorry to disappoint, 12k rpm may be shown on the Spoon analogue dash but you would need an awful lot of mechanical work (valve springs, timing gear, ECU, mapping etc.) to get an F20C to run safely up there

In (in)famous 175mph Turbo Dave video clip the S2000 is running damn near the redline in 6th, I guess you need to ask yourself how long you would feel comfortable at those revs in any other gear, let alone 6th

 

I've only done 140 in my s2k (on my way to Phoenix), and I was nowhere near redline. So, are we talking the 175-mph neighborhood? Where would I be able to get the car going that fast (without risking a humungous speeding ticket)?

DAMN! 140mph, how did the car feel/handle Calc?
i am too chicken to go over 110 : (

is 175mph the top speed on stock s2k's

 

I think turbo dave had a lot of goodies installed on his car to go that fast.

anyone seen him around recently?

 

I've heard of a certain person going 145 with the top up and from "what I hear" the car is pretty stable. Definately doesn't have that "all hell's breaking loose" feeling that some cars have at speed. That car slowly pulls more and more, but doesn't show any signs that it wants to stop. The car's stock. Of course, this is all "what I heard".

Once again I will toss out my favorite two words:
Driving School

 

I went 150mph down the Interstate 5 in cali. I had my top up and I still had some RPM's left. Actually quite a bit, I was still pulling hard at 150. But it was completely dark and I decided it was safer to slow it down instead of maxing it out. It was so fast I felt like the road was just being eaten by the front my car like you wouldn't believe. I was at 150 for about 8-10 seconds.
