Default ran a turbo s2000 on the highway.

i know the owner.. its putting down 320rwhp.. i'm putting down 340

3rd gear 60mph punch.. he said i got a very slight jump.. pulled out a length or so by top of 3rd (110'ish) then most of the way through 4th.. he pulled back even and got about 1/2 car up up.. my front end at his door.. and stayed. shut down cause of car in my lane..

i was really suprised.. i was expecting to get destoryed from a highway roll.. i've only got 20rwhp on him.. and his car weighs a good 500 lbs less.

can't wait to see how it goes after i get long tubes and ls6 intake.. which should mean 20 to 30more rwhp. but of coarse he can get up to 400rwhp. i'll have to upgrade my cam so i can put down 420 bad *** car though.. and good run.

I raced/destroyed a supercharged S2000 a couple months back ... I be interested to know what type of power he was putting down.

Nice kill

sound like you guys need to go from a dig!!!!, I wanna see that one, the one s2000 I raced.. I walked the entire time, had many buslenths on, although he was stock, he tried to do a ricer fly by and I said "hell no", downed it and WOT, I could see him pounding his steering wheel, lol

nope lol i got beat fair n' square.. time for long tubes.


Supercharged s2000's aren't near as fast.. best i've seen out of them is 13.1@105mph..

this turbo s2k ran 12.9@109.5 which et wise isn't much faster but trap speed is good for highway runs


Assasin: i have raced a regular s2000 w/ intake and exhuast back when i was stock w/ the z28.. it was ugly.. at least 5 lengths each time.. from a dig, from a roll.. didn't matter.

I'll be willing to bet that you wax his *** if you get long tubes. That will open your car up to breathe like it should.
