I wouldnt call the 3V slow. Any car that can run 13s is getting out of its own way imho. Considering a tune settles them into the low 13 position, I'd say they do alright. But considering what else is avaiable in the same price range....eh.

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.

+1.. hell my car is dog slow still in the grand scheme of things... realistically chances of coming across anything a 3V can't take care of is still pretty small.

Still though, I'd rather have a Mustang. UPR's 2010 GT would sodomize the Turbo S2000 in your video. Time to build up your 2010 and get a rematch! Do it for the Blue Oval!

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.

lol
2jz, no ****.
As someone already mentioned...the quality of the build matters more than anything.
He could be running 5 psi or he could be running 30 psi...
Ive seen many turbo hondas that just dont do anything but suck cause they arent tuned right and the quality of the whole build is just ****.
I would imagine a slightly boosted s2000 would easily trap 110-120 though.
