Considering Toyota Rav4s run high 14s nowadays, high 13s definitely isn't what it used to be. Race a '11 V6 Mustang and a '97 Z28/TA, and you would probably be unpleasantly-surprised.

So what you're saying is that the 17 year old tech in the LT1 has FINALLY been surpassed by some modern V6's? Good job. Also...what is surprising about a 300+ hp car beating a 250 hp car? Nothing. What was your point again?

Irunelevens

Since when are LT1s 250hp? I don't even believe for a second that the LT1 F-bodies were 275/285hp when the Corvette was 300hp. The LT1 was a great motor (Optispark aside) for its day, and I am in no way trying to discredit it... but to downplay one motor (in a car built for a COMPLETELY different reason) because it only propels a car to the same speed as an older car is dumb. Sorry, there's just no other way to put it. Calling a 2000 S2000 "weak" because it runs the same times as a '93 Trans Am is just flat out dumb.

Like I said.. narrow minded

the LT1 Vette's had better flowing exhaust manifolds than the F-body's. oh and btw, the Optispark isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. yes, it doesn't like water, and the placement of it right below the waterpump probably wasn't the smartest idea. but they do last. i'm at almost 190k miles on my factory Opti, still running strong.

The one on my mom's old '94 Vette blew at ~110k miles. And then her transmission went at 116k IIRC.

Back in the day I saw plenty of LT1s(Fbodies) run 13s even autos. Many are ragged out and driven by kids that don't know how to drive now. Hell my best time time in a six speed LT1 Vette is 13.6. I would love a 96 Vette six speed-12s stock with an LT4

Geez, I have never considered an S2000 a race: track, dig, roll, whatever - I guess when they were 3-4 cars back when I was stock I just never thought of that as competition. Maybe I'm just lolh4x driver of the century.

That has a great chance of being my next car... Admiral Blue on red/black. When my mom had her automatic '94 Vette when I was in high school, a buddy of mine had an identical '95. He ran a 13.6@99mph at the beginning of summer, so I would think maybe a 13.4@101mph on a great day. There were very few LT1s quicker than that.

When is the race going to happen?

OP is not stock for those of you saying it's a drivers race stock for stock etc. . He said he has long tube headers and ORY. I'll give the advantage to the lt1.

Even if he was I still say it's a slaughter, now it definitely will be.

Irunelevens

You can't say it's a slaughter just because of the people that you have raced. Numbers don't lie, and the numbers says it should be VERY close. To say otherwise is ignorance.

My buddy has a S2k and I think they pull really nice nice for the type of car they were made to be..
Now, I think it would come down to your set up and how good you can launch.. But, from a roll you should be able to pull on him..

Really anything other than low 13s is pretty slow now adays. 2011-2015 is going to make it even more slow IMHO.

I was @ my local track Wed. night and watched a S2000 run 8.46@178 that was 1 sick little car.
