RAN w/ an S2000 w/ slight mods, we Ran 4 times, great races.
RAN w/ an S2000 w/ slight mods, we Ran 4 times, great races.
We had equal mods, about equal driving skills, both of us had passengers.
Round 1, were going about 30, I pulled 1 car length. We shut down at the end of 4th, on all of the races I didn't look at the speed, I was only looking at the road and rpm's
Round 2, from a stop, I gained about car length and maintained until shut down in 4th. We both had "OK" launches, but I still wasn't getting good traction in 2nd. I was being conserative on my shifts
Round 3, I had a bad launch, he had about an half of car length, I never could get traction or catch up, he got the win on that round by maintaining his 1/2 lenght.
Round 4, Equal launches, the Z gained a little by little to about 1 car lengths, we shut it down at the end of 4th gear again.
We both were pumped on the races, our friends all watched, we had a good time, not talking trash, and mutual respect was given. I want to race one w/ better road conditions or on a track.
We are going to race again and try and get it on Digi. video.

Great kills man. Sounds like a pretty quick S2000.
Great idea...

"Does the Z not respond well to bolt-ons like the S2k?" Let me rephrase: Is the Z like the S2k in that it does not respond well to bolt-ons?

Those S2000's don't do to good with mods.........in a recent SCC mag they had a supercharged one.....and it only like dropped .5 second and increased 5 or 6 mph in the 1/4. Car and driver did one where they ported the head, installed dfi, and a bunch of other stuff, and they only got 35 or so hp...They r pretty maxxed from the factory..
Their alot better road coure car then drag racer......between the two i think a stock z has the edge.
Good run.
I would love to get into a drag race with one..that would be too much fun

It is really going to suck for the aftermarket retailers if car manufacturers keep putting out cars that are at the max from the factory.
