Default S2000 vs 3Valve Mustang GT

I wasn't there , my buddy was driving my car while I was at work a couple days ago. This is the story:

He was cruising down a 4 lane main road that has a median minding his own business cruising at 50mph.. My S2000 is a bone stock AP1. When a ~07ish Mustang GT rolled up slowly next to him. He said it had a nice sounding louuuud exhaust. My boy Sammy is looking over at him with a smirk and the guy noticed so he revved it and learched forward to see if Sammy was game. Of course he is, this kid lives for racing. Knowing that I'd approve this race, he decided why not lol. So Sammy does a learch forward a couple times when the mustang takes the hit! The little peppy stock S2000 POPS VTEC !!! Immediately stops his pull and comes past him and puts 2 car lengths on him (Unclear what the MPH was, he never told me). As you can imagine, Sammy slows down to give a thumbs up but the mustang turns off.

As lame as it is that I wasnt there, I trust his story - he doesn't lie. If he lost he woulda told me lol. I was very happy to hear this But I need boost in my life... sooooooon

Hey Matt, how do you think the S2000 would do against the G8? I haven't had a decent race in forever and it's supposed to be nice out today...

We'll set it up for a couple weeks from now. It will be the most epic roll race of all time.

I can't wait to check out the new whip this spring! A lot of people have changed cars, and I'm sure the TA will make it's first appearance as well.

As far as the race, I def would have figured the GT would pull harder from a roll but mustangs are like ********....everyone has one. When you run into one you could be racing a 16 year old girl that just got her license, whereas on the other hand it could be john force himself.

And I say that with no disrespect to mustangs.....just the truth because of thier popularity.

As you can imagine, a lil 4 banger N/A won't take mods very well.. maybe 2 hp a mod. Not really worth it lol. But like i said - i am only doing it to make it look better and sound nicer thats all

The guy that was in the Mustang was mid/late 20's from what he told me. I would have expected it to be nearly dead even
