Default S2000 what? I expected more...

On the way to the house to have some repairs done...

I pull quickly through some traffic to get up to him and he know's it. Stop sign up ahead but there is one car in front of me. He doesn't wait...instead he guns it. I have to wait for the old man in front of me tick tock tick tock and I finally take off and reel him in to pass without much problem. I expected more out of it...which wasn't much to begin with. Either way it was fun now that my clutch is broken in.

i think the fastest one stock is 14.3 or something? modded they aren't even that fast, honda just got the most the motor could do so i guess without f/i there isn't much to be done. and f/i is a bitch on that car since the compression is so high and it revs to the friggin moon. but nice kill!

Yup... not much in those cars... of course, what can you expect from an N/A 4-banger...

Nice kill

they handle really well.. but as far as straight line speed... nothing compared to an ls1
they had a comptech s/c'ed s2k running low 13's at like 106-107 at the import tuner shootout

Yea even with f/i they're not that great. a friend of mine has one with a vortec s/c on it, specs (according to him) 370bhp 197 tq . The damn thing is like a turbo, there is nothing that even closely resembles power untill at least 6000 rpm, and even then its not that great. I wanna say its runnin 8psi, but im not sure.

6 psi is what the comptech usually runs on stock internals...

I ran one in my 115HP Daily Driver Mitsu Mirage and he didnt pull me TOO bad, I dont think he was revving it to the moon tho. S2K will need alot to hang with a stock ls1...

Sure they handle well, but you know what's funny? Steve Millen took an '00 or '01 SS around a road course QUICKER than the S2000.
