I have a question i havent seen posted here as far as im aware of. Anyhow, my dad is wanting to buy a Honda s2000 soon (between 2000-2004 year) and my question is will my 04 stock GT at least keep up with him or am i going to have to do some mods in order to fry that rice. Anyone know??

 

If your a good drive you will keep up and possible beat him. Thats what i have heard from people on the site.

 

you will be slightly faster than him, but in the curves, he will rape you.

 

All you need is some drag radials and you got him.

 

A guy I work with has one and he said he is running 14.5 to 4.9 in his. I dont know what they are suppose to do with a good driver but thats all he can pull. He says its not a 1/4 mile car, that its more less for top end and says he has had it up to 160mph. Thats a little high for a four banger if you ask me, but I let him carry his story on without a word from me.

 

thats true, its a track car, as in auto x

 

160 mph wouldn't surprise me really... 9000 rpms and a 6 sp will let you do that... but I'm not sure where the speed limiter kicks in on that car.

14.5-14.9 is livable, but I've seen them hit 14.2 stock...it's all in the driver and where you launch at.

and as nomo stated, he will rape you on a twistie backroad.

 

A friend of a friend was at the dragstrip in his new S2000, it had a new aftermarket cat-back in it and he ran low 15's all night long (man it always seems that everyone at my track runs slow... I suppose 90* with humidity does that?!?) - but then again I heard he drives like a 15 year old... no offense Juggy

 

new GT + S2000 = you are teh rich, go buy a S/Cer!!!

 

huh? he has the GT, his dad is buying the S2k...

oh and i never really caught this part of it... It's a good thing he wants those years, cause those are the only 4 years it's been produced. the 04 model is upgraded from the 00-03, displacement is upped from (F20c) 2.0 to (F22c) 2.2, redline is lowered these two things result in the same horsepower rating but more torque is produced(00-03s 154ish vs 04s 169), it gives it a lower, broader torque curve, and a more street friendly power band.

Aesthetic upgrades include front and rear fascia redesign, and rims are changed from 17" 5 spokes to 17" 10 spokes.
