And I know someone that ran a 13.6 in a stock S2000.
Kinda like guys who run bigs/littles and drag radials on the street like to go from a dig? Half the threads on here I see, "Yeah he hung with you from a roll, but you should go from a dig with your stalled/DR car and show him what's up." There is NOTHING wrong with playing to your car's strengths when you race. And when did I say I'd "refuse the roll he wants?" And I also said I'd go to 120-125mph, so "shut down before he comes around me?" You're a joke. And I'm sorry my 80k+ mile clutch is too worn right now to do a 7,000rpm launch, but I'd like to be able to drive my car after the race. 
And as far as the answers I'm getting from this board, I kinda expected non-biased responses, but I guess I should have known better.
I think you know who's going to win if you're making a thread to see all of the unfair advantages you can get against him.
Irunelevens-
First, I'm going to run from his weak spot and refuse the roll he wants, then I'm going to honk it off so I can get the jump, then I'm going to shut down before he comes around me. Then, I'll make excuses for why I can't run him from his strong spot.. like my clutch is going out.
This seems like a rice thread to me

. And if your clutch is so bad... then why are you racing the car anyways?Also.. you saying you're going to do the honks so you can jump on him.. that's real cool.
But you're right. I'm a joke. I like fair races, win or lose, and I don't post on the boards looking for all the advantages I can get and then jumping early. How about you do something about your clutch problem instead of making excuses.
BTW - was that you and your car in the F&F? Just wondering.

I'm not giving you a biased response about S2000 vs GTO.. because I really don't care.

If you don't care, why did you post? All I did was ask what the "weak spot" was for the A4s. If he honks, then HE will get the advantage... would you like me to somehow make a flying timing tree so that we can use that from a roll? So I'm not sure why you're saying I'm looking for "all the advantages." And I'd love to get a new clutch... wanna give me $1,000?
Yes, a flying time tree would be good. Or 3 honks, and you actually going after the 3rd honk instead of jumping
And no, I don't want to give you $1000 for a clutch. If you can't afford to maintain the car, then you probably shouldn't race it.. or own it.

LOL I'm saying I don't have a bias either for or against an S2000 or a GTO - I've never owned either, and I really don't care to.

13.6 in a car that puts about 200hp to the ground? HMMMMMMMMMMMM. Not to mention about 135 tq at the wheels? I get that it only weighs like what 3000lbs soaking wet but still, I have problems believing that. I'm not trying to be biased, the point is you are going to race a car that has a definite power advantage even though you may be quite a bit lighter, I don't think your gonna win. Anything can happen on the street though. S2000's are nice cars and slang a turbo off of them and they get quick in a hurry. I would drive one for a dd. No doubt.

. I have a friend here who has an 04 a4 gto with intake and exhaust, I keep trying to get him to race me but he hasn't yet. I think mainly it's because when he bought it he thought he was just the hottest **** in the world and a really good friend of mine bought his 00 SS and handed him his *** when all he had was a stock SS with 3.73 gears. Oh well, let me know how it goes man.
