So my buddy with his stock S2K is absolutely convinced his car is faster then my LT1 in a straight line and is willing to put $$$ down.

Last time I checked, S2K has 240HP and ZERO torque.

Check out my sig, what do you guys think?

It doesn't have much torque, but it has RPMs and VERY low weight. It'll give you a run for your money - probably be a real good race. They run high 13s stock, but it'll come down to the start. Get him out of the hole and you should beat him. Looks like you got some suspension mods so I'd put money on you, but not much.

Raced one in my 91 TPI 5.7 beat him off the line and up high. Sure, it was wet out and we both spun, but if they were worth the 10K RPM they spin stock, he'd have rocketed past me. Audi TTs with the 1.8 Turbo are a joke too on the highway :\

PS: The S2K was from a dig.

Looking at your mods you should have no issues.

Close? I just said I toasted one in a 5.7 TPI car! My only mod was a tune I did myself (in other words only worthy of probably 5hp) and stock manifolds with no cats and a bullet muffler TPIs had 209rw/hp with 0 miles and I had 144K!

Dont want to start a fight with anyone but S2000 are a joke. you will kill him. I had a guy at work that had a s2000 tell me the same thing. And after a week of **** talking we ran and I got him by about 6 cars or more lol. and it looks like you have the same mods my car did at the time

something had to be wrong w/ that driver or car.

and they don't spin to 10k like stated above.


but if so, I'm gonna go pick on some stocker s2ks this summer.

My buddy out ran one from a roll in his rt dakota, but i dont know what his mods were or the s2ks.

I hate imports,but the s2k are no slouch. I've driven 1,fun as hell when the roads are wet and ur in drift mode lmao. If ur any kind of a driver,u got him covered. I do have to say,that I've seen a couple with drag radials,exhaust,and a tune go low 13s all day. The old owner of "Whip Factory" had a nasty fast s2k that was n/a.

Ive driven an S2000, and they are **** boxes. You will beat him hands down. The only things to the s2000 thats an advantage is the weight, and its got V-tech. but hell the car doesnt start making power till 9000 RPMS!!!! Do it from a dig and you will destroy him.

+1 on less weight and more rpms. They are six speeds with something like 4.50 gears.
Their VTEC kicks in at 5850, that's our stock redline, lol. They rev to 9k rpm. You have to give that engine props. That car makes over 100hp per liter...very impressive.

I was dead even with my buddies S2K w/ intake & exhaust and my car was bone stock. With bolt-ons, it should be game over.

What year.

Early cars are 2 liters and rev to almost 9K and have skinny tires. Great performes in capable hands on a road course. Real tricky to get a launch out of though. Mess up the launch and the whole run is shot. very unforgiving from a dig.

Later cars have a 2.2 and rev to 8k. Honda increased stroke and lowered the limiter and fattened up the midrange ( Peak torque only went up like 9ft-lbs but it happened like 700 or 1300 rpm earlier) and added some tire out back so they are alot easier to launch. Plus alot more forgiving, if you botch the launch you at least got a little bit of midrange so it doesnt completely kill the run/

With that being said I ran a bolt on one when I was bolt ons and I drug him, and after the race he went lean at 8K in 4th and melted the top end.

hp/liter is ricer math and is pretty much useless.

You should be fine because as stated before, they run high 13's stock.. I've beaten one stock... But yeah I mean they have amazing power and are sexy cars, but the issue is that they lack the torque needed to fully win the race

Just remember-
There's no replacement, for displacement!

a close to stock 5.7 TPI is about as fast as your current Focus.

Dont make fun of me but I use to own one, an S2K that is. Had an ex that was into imports so I had to do it. They are fast cars and it should be a good race. If I remember correctly they spin to 8500RPM. My car went 12.89 with minor bolt ons (Intake and cat back).
