Nice death..a boosted S2000 should dispatch a stock 3V easily. Honestly a well driven S2000 stock should be a fairly good match up with the 3V having the advantage.

A stock S2000 is capable of low 5-second 0 to 60 and mid-high 14 sec. quarter, so a stock one should be somewhat close to a stock GT depending on gearing, transmission, driver, etc.
Add a turbo to the equation and things change real quick. Judging by the video, I would have thought the S2000 should have done better, what mods do you have?

It all depends on the size of the turbo and the quality of the build once you start talking about boosted cars. Op figure on that car being a mid 12 second car at the least.

Being stock, no shame at all in that loss. Like stated before, stock for stock would be a decent run, with the race being yours to lose. Throw snails into the mix, those s2k's move out pretty good.

Kind of saw that one coming, lol. S2000s get fast with a decent turbo set-up. That one actually looked very mild.

What gear were you in? Sounds like you were in too high a gear at the start. It wasn't a turbo (at least it didn't sound like one), but I put busses on one of these from a dig the first week I had the car.

If he's all stock, he's more than lucky that he didn't have his *** handed to him. Stock Mustangs, at least pre 2005 models, are pretty damn slow. I've seen them beaten by 3.5 L Toyota Camry's. Come to think of it , all pre 2011 Mustangs are slow dogs. They need to be F/I to be quick.

Slow is relative... That old dog of mine is still one of the faster cars on the street. Most of the people around here don't drive a V8 car daily. It's mostly 4 and 6 banger grocery getters / A-B type cars.
But I agree... Need to get my M90 on. But that won't happen until I secure a better position, which I am working towards right now.
