s2000

so tonight i pulled up beside an s2000 and asked if he wanted to race, but he gave me the "no thanks man", then i told him "dont worry, i have a 6er, you will probably smoke me", then he replied "your 6 is 4.0, we dont need to race"

so are we faster than them? or was this guy under the wrong impression?

RE: s2000

I think he was aknowledging that your engine is twice as big as his giving you the advantage but I think he was mistaken. The 2006 s2000 has a 2.2L engine that puts down 234 hp. However their torque is less than ours at 168 but combine that with a much smaller car and you have some "faster" 0-60 times...

These are manuals...

2000 Honda S2000 5.5 14.2
2003 Honda S2000 6.3 14.9 (Manual)
2004 Honda S2000 5.8 14.2 (MT Mar '04)
2006 Honda S2000 5.5 14.0 (C&D May '06)

Yeah, they're like 2800-2900lbs. He would have had you for lunch. [&:]
