A road course that has short straights maybe... I'm not going to argue with it's turning ability though... Stock for stock on a "tight" course, i think the S2K will be in front... Guarantee I'll pull past any "bolt on" S2k on the straight though... Always up for a CHALLENGE....

When I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen a video of a S2000 and a 350Z matching up. Imma search

Last time I was on the S2K boards they were all makiong excuses for the video I made bending one over (with bolt-ons), needless to say I dont visit s2ki.com often-pretty lame.

Definitely wanna see this... Never seen Albertos car in person... Only videos..

Yeah, sorry bro. No street racing. The car wasn't built for the street. Do you see the oversized drags on the rear?

I do know the owner. Wow. The car was being built in the past year sir. The owner expressed very openly that it will mostly be a tracked car. You'll have all the time in the world to race this beast.

btw, what kind of track times do you have sir?

Knowing what its like to have a drastic jump in power with a build, Id suggest he gets used to it first, work out the bugs then we can meet up and see what happens. Id love to just check out the car in person in the meantime, as its not everyday I see an S2K built with what looks to be drag racing in mind. Im curious to what hes doing with the stock diff/axles, do you know? As far as my car and times, Ive had 3 seconds down the track in my new set-up and I grenaded the tranny the second I hit 3rd. I havent been back to run since because the track closed 1 week before I swapped in another tranny and had my car back on the road. FWIW-my old set up with less than 400whp ran 11's in the dead of summer....where in VA/MD is your friend?
