S2000's with a good driver are 14-14.2 second cars.. but they're still just a Honda.

What mods do you have? They can run anywhere from high 13's@101 with a good driver to really bad numbers with an inexperienced driver.

You may have blown out a spark plug. My brothers trans am did that at 130 and it sounded like the noise you described, just VERY loud

Yep sounds like a blown spark plug. Happened to my stang like 3 weeks ago, at low speeds though. It sounds very much like how you described only under accel.

Open your hood, keep the car on, and look at all the coil packs. If one moves excessively, thats where you start. Turn off the car, pull out the coil pack, open your spark plug, and check out the threads and gap, if any. Mine were all melted and the spark plug was just sitting in it. Ended up payin Ford outta the butt to have it heli-coiled because the 4.6l Mustang plugs are soo deep in the motor that no other shop could fix it but Ford. It sucks, but thats life. Always use a rubber hose to thread the plugs before tightening and always torque them to 15lbs.
