Default S2000 kill

Last night while I was driving home an S2000 kept on getting next to me and speeding off then slowing back down. We caught a red further down the road and we both knew it was on. We both took off pretty easy then I heard him get on it so I did the same. I heard his V-tec kick in for a second but then I got above 4000 rpm and my exhaust drowned it out hahaha.I was a good CL ahead by the end of first andby the time I slammed it into second andgot up to65mph he was a good 2-3 car lengths back. He wouldn't even pull up next to me at the next light lol. Man I love this car.

Yeah, I'd like to run an S2K myself, but more over a 350Z. I thought I was gonna have a run with a Z a couple of weeks ago, but dude lost his nerve I guess. Nice kill.

Nice kill and I'm not surprised at all. And why do some of you wanna run an s2k? They run mid 14's stock, so your S197's shouldnt have any problem.

And from what I've read on here...there isn't much to be done to them except for f/i. Unless you race 'em in the twisties they shouldn't be an issue.

I've never really investigated what type of mods you can get for them, but all I ever see people add is exhaust and intake. Then there are some with a turbo or S/C. A turbo really wakes these things up, but if they arent F/I, than they shouldnt be any problem.

EDIT: I know the k20 in the RSX-S is a pretty good motor, but I'm not sure about the one in the s2k. But the RSX-S with exhaust, intake, header and tune with K-Pro or Hondata can run very low 14's, and some have hit 13's. So maybe with these mods on an s2k they can run mid 13's.

Maybe if there's a 12 yr. old behind the wheel. There's been plenty run high 13's bone stock. I actually think there's been more run 13's bone stock than new edge gt's. They'd give an auto s197 a good race from a highway roll, if not beat it, because they wouldn't have to downshift.

There is no way that more S2000s have run in the 13's stock than a new edge gt. I haven't seen the forums, but I know from various car reviews and driving my friends S2000 that they are not 13 second cars stock.

You can say whatever you want, but s2000's are most definately 13 second cars with some practice. If you click the link you'll see a bone stock 02 ran 13.648, and I haven't heard of a bone stock new edge doing the same.
