I hate to say it but I have always been kinda partial to the styling of the S2000. I dont know what it is. I even contemplated buying one for the wife a few years ago... Just couldnt see dropping that kind a coin on a 2 seater with no *****.
I have known a few people that tried to build them, and have a few around here I have been dying to line up with. But the gods have not let that happen yet.
The idea of doing a LS swap on one is amusing, and in the future I still might find one to put in the stable.
To the op, good kill. Expected.... Every car COULD be fast, and anything can happen on the street. I would think that if you race them again the outcome would be the same.

youtube and streetfire for a source of information....... 
mid 400s.... 11.xx@124mph.. in a car that weighs what? 2500 lbs.. that isnt anything to brag about...
btw, 124 is not good for an *easy* 10 second pass.... especially in a turbo car, or one having problem out of the hole.. 124 is good for an *easy* low 11 second car, or 11 flat... pushing getting into 10s, and by this i mean 10.9999

S2Ks are totally gutless..... I worked at a Honda dealer and those bitches pull like my moms old Gand Prix till like 6K THEN u can feel it pull. I raced a full bolt on S2K awhile back, while I was bolt on, and 4.10s (no spray) and it was UGLY!!

I know what you mean with the Civic... I tried making the kid go to an F-Body rental to get him some religion... Wasn't trying to convert him to a domestic or anything but figured seeing really fast cars that sound stock might influence his exhaust choices.haha

Maybe you shouldn't "correct" me when you do not know the weight of THIS car. Even a stock S2K does NOT have a 2500lb race weight. According to this site, a 5-spd 2003 Honda S2K roadster weighs 2,810lbs bone stock. This red car is complete full interior and since it's turbocharged, it has more weight added to it due to the necessary accessories (turbo, FMIC etc.) It also has a full cage in it. That is nowhere close to your purported weight claim buddy. It easily weighs more than 3,000lbs with a 190lb driver in it. It is not my car. Why would I "brag" about it? My own car is faster and makes more power. Just sharing some info. on what happens to be a thread related to S2Ks. Stop nitpicking my post with BS.

i wasnt saying you were bragging.

i wasnt nitpicking your posts, yours just stood out.. any post i dont agree with i would call out.. dont think your special.

did you miss the "?" mark... that should you know i dont know the weight.. and i highly doubt he hasnt taken 1lb. out of the car.. but, i could be wrong.. its just not very often people dont take any weight out what so ever.. hell if you take cats out, thats weight..

This is the reason why I thought your post was stupid. You are speculating about a car that I personally have more intricate knowledge about. Your rebuttal to my post was not needed. It was patronizing and combative. When you 'call some one out,' you do so with solid information and irrefutable evidence, not guess work. I know more about this particular red S2K than you do so stop arguing with me about it. Ok?
You do not know the quickest my car has ever gone either neither do you know how much power it makes. I do not give a **** whether you agree with these statements or not. You are not the fact police. 
You simply should have asked me to provide more info. if you needed it; Not make that useless post that was obviously going to irk me.

no, you do not have to have facts to call someone out, ask Jibby... hahahahahaha
i know pretty close to what i was calling you out on.. and i know that 124mph in the 1/4 with a turbo and having problems out of the hole is NOT good for an easy 10 second pass... i know thats good for about a mid to low 11... MAYBE.. whether i know what car your talking about or not, thats drag racing common sense..
stop arguing with you because you said so. OK.... hahah, riiiiight...
dont give a **** if i "irked" you or not... i didnt need any more facts, and i still dont.. all i need was the trap speed, and i knew it had a turbo and was having problems outta the hole... that tells me about what the car runs, and what it will not run easily...

hey bro my friend has an 04 s2k also, and we race all the time for the fun of it. he's got alot of money in his! no turbo but pulleys, header, exhaust, no cat, intake, tune (hondata) and a bunch of suspention stuff. in fact we raced last night on the highway and we did a 50 punch and in 3rd i got him by half a car (his gears are longer and that vtec with the hondata will make that car move!) 4the gear i pulled another car by 5th i let off and i had him by at least 3 at that point and i would have kept pulling! i have stock gears...they're fast and badass cars but no match for ls1's unless they're build for low compression and a big turbo! they're not as light as you'd think they are because theyre all convertable...good kill though!

Good kill op. A guy I work with has a stock S2000. I've drove a couple of times. Like most of the others said, it's gutless until 6k. My Dad's old Buick Century had more torque....

I made the same mistake, one lined up with me and i could have SWORN that car had a turbo on it by the noise it was making. Turned out he was full bolt ons instead... smoked him pretty badly.
