you know for a fact off the line you will pull ahead? hmm. I think if anything you will pull ahead top end but he will probably take you off the line unless you launch at around 7k

From a dead stop i doubt you'll take him. But ask if you can do a rolling start from 10-20 kms per hour.

I raced one of these when it was new in 2001 or 2002 in a 328is which runs the 1/4 in pretty much 15 flat. When I got a good launch I would beat him by 1/2 car at most.
I don't know differences between 2001/2002 and this thing but I do not that they are no slouch

All I know is that I was head to head with a 2009 Camry...

I did have a passenger, but still... I was head to head with a family four door sedan! LOL


I've come to the realization that our cars aren't very fast in the straight line. You really wanna mess him up... take it to the track!

I wouldn't say that the s2000 is slow in a straight line. but it's certainly not fast compared to other 2009/2010 production type vehicles. But then again... the S wasn't made for going fast in a straight line.

this thread is stupid. why would you want to race a grand prix?
