eh. Instead of speculating...go to the track and run it. Because I honestly don't know.

Uh.... Ricers don't normally buy a 30,000+ dollar sport compact and then race for money....

2900 lbs 3.73's and a 5 speed with a really near stock 5.0 equals and honest 13.9 if you can get it moving to the tune of a 2.0 60 ft. Trust me I have seen it.

I think 2000Si should go to his little ricer boards and stop comming here with all the info that he reads on the internet...not from any experiance.

Experience? You said...

He jumped on you? Yet you pulled on him by over 4 cars? Until I see the Video I'm not going to believe you.

From a stop I could see it as the S2K takes a PRO driver to get it's full potential.

They run 14 flat in the 1/4 mile but from a roll they aren't a joke. The worst part of a S2K in the 1/4 is the launch. From around 2nd/3rd they aren't a joke though.

Unless the driver couldn't drive for **** I call BS on this. Not saying it isn't possible however until I see proof I am holding the BS flag.

I raced a few S2K's in my time. Even raced a Vortech SCed one. I know and have seen what they're capable of.

I could be wrong and he could have been a ****ty driver but this story isn't the most believable to me.

Ok you want my personal experience?

Two years ago I personally watched a 93 5.0 LX with slightly more done to you get *** rapped pretty badly by an S2000 with nothing more than exhaust and cams. Since then that 5.0 was totalled and I haven't seen the S2000 around anymore either. but thats my personal experience.

Now onto your other statement. "ricer" board, you're the idiot kid, who street races by the way, that is coming on the internet to see if you can beat a "ricer" car instead of going to the fugging track to figure out what the hell you run so that YOU can actually have some legal experience.

Whats so wrong with reading things off the internet? So if I say I saw a 3000GT pull on a Trans Am it can't happen because I didn't personally see it with my own two eyes in person? Please. what happens is what happens. Hell, why should I believe any of your stories you've told in this thread? This is on the internet...and unlike you, I don't believe everything I read.

LOL 2000si is correct. You shouldnt street race but it is fun i gotta admit . But at the same time though 2000si Dude you gotta stop thinking Fox body mustangs cant run low 14 stock. My GT 91 runs 14.6 STOCK . To the tires with a 90k or better engine and a wore out 2nd gear and i shift like a old lady with a spin in 1st and 2nd. And my LX seems even quckier to me cause it is so light. I know some mustangs dont even hit 15s cause i have seen it at the track myself,but alot of it does deal with driver and gears. Like my 91 has 3.08 stock .Im not busting on ya cause i think ur aight but serious most mustang runs somewhere in the 14s and even some break into the high 13s. Especially the LX. MY LX weights 2860 and any mods i do it to it will mean fast results. I think the kid might of beaten this dude but who cares really lol.. Just good reading and i dont take what i read to serious. And i bet if he does weight 2900 pounds then his LX would probally run high 13s with his mods. hehehe but who knows.

2000Si said that 5.0LXs are quick, but not low 14 cars???!!
Total BS, with the mods he has he should easily be able to break 14s. You are correct in saying that it really depends on how the two drive, but to say that its a sure win for the S2k is rediculous. If it was a machine driving each car the same, my 200$ is on the stang, and not just because I'm bias, I like S2Ks a lot, but in this match up, the heavier car with more power just might edge out the lighter higher revving import.
