LOL calm down. Talk about getting butthurt. Im obviously a typical ricer idiot thank you for pointing this out. Me calling your car a mulletmobile is the same as you all calling an s2k rice. I like transams, if I could trade my car for an ls1 t/a I would without thinking twice. I like my car and its pretty quick for what it is, which isn't rice 
I hate rice twice as much as the people on here do, more than liekly, because they give people with the non-rice cars a bad name. Just as i am sure there are a **** ton of rednecks out there with mulletmobiles driving around giving you a bad name.
and as for the video being complete bullshit, I guess your going to believe a guy that posted a story over a video.

As for your video, its just not a good example. Look at the video I posted as well as the other vids floating around, and you'll see that its the other way around 99% of the time. S2000's just aren't in the same league as LS1 F-bodys when it comes to power.

S2000s and LT1s are typically very close. Trap speeds are generally within a mph or two of each other. The LT1 definitely has the edge from a dig, but from a roll it's anybody's game. And my initial post was that since the S2000 driver has to be on his game to make it a good race against a stock LT1, starting at an rpm that's way too low against a modded car was asking for it. And it would have been quite a bit closer if he had gone from a higher roll. Nothing "ricer" about stating the obvious.

I've been in both cars. LT1 is siginficantly faster in real world driving. S2000 isn't fast, you'd be a very skilled driver to run one to a low 14 @ anything close to 100MPH.

I was driving an LT1 Corvette when I was fourteen. I know how fast they are. From a roll, an S2000 is a very good match for a stock LT1. Same as a 99-04 Mustang GT 5spd, though I would say the S2000 has a bit more up top than the Mustang. Now considering I've either owned or driven each of the cars we're talking about extensively, over a number of years, why don't you just take my word for it

Alright...I apologize for jumping on you like that. But its impossible to tell what someone means when you read text over the internet. Thats why the smilies are useful. I read it like you being an *******, even though now I realize you were just kidding around. All too often ricers come on here and try to call people out, which is why I got defensive.
As for your video, its just not a good example. Look at the video I posted as well as the other vids floating around, and you'll see that its the other way around 99% of the time. S2000's just aren't in the same league as LS1 F-bodys when it comes to power.

Just because you've driven a car doesn't make you an expert. Numerous people have run 13.x in stock S2000s, and trapped over 100mph. So I'm sorry if you disagree, but a stock S2000 and a stock LT1 is a very good race.

ok as a former HONDA guy and having spent many many moons at the strip with them. I have never ever seen a s2000 in stock form run better then a 14.5 ever. I have driven a s2000 on many occasions and u have to drive the pis out of it to go fast unlike my lt1 trans am auto who with a quick downshift is gone. the s2000 is way over rated. I hate it good kill but no big feet

It was a while ago, but my slow lt1 lost to an s2k from like 60ish, I remember him downshifting and him going first, he gained about a car length on me, but that was all he got untill we shutdown, he said he was just intake/exhaust and me about the same, wish I had m6 for rolls!, or at least run him from a dig.

I feel the S2K's pain, 3.23 gears and a cam with M6 makes for shitty low speed performance. Above 3500 this its great but I can't even squeal the tires if I stab the gas below that. Good kill to the OP, and irunelevens I think you're fighting a lost cause here trying to defend your car.
