yep, people are so focused on rwd vs fwd they dont realize how hard it is to get the s2k into s2k into 13's. even my boy who has a s2k said its hard to get the s2k into 13's. its tricky with the lack of torque.You guys sure about that? I have a coworker with an '05 S2000 which I have beaten time and time again from a stop. No, I don't blow his doors away, but I do pull a couple car lengths on him in the 1/4. Some very good drivers have managed a 13.9 in the 1/4 with them, but most only run 14.0 - 14.4 (wiggle)
he drove my car for the first time at the strip and ran 14.1. first thing he said was that he could get off the line better with his s2k but could tell from the power and tq of the MS3 it wouldnt be hard to catch the s2k.
now the 350z off the line is a very different story. we can only beat them on a roll up to about 130mph but around 135 the VQ's top end reels us back in
and to the guy that thinks you need to throw a turbo on the s2k or any hona to make power is mistaking. go look at the "J's s2k or amuse s2k" hondas are meant to be N/A. FI is just a cheaper quicker alternative to make power but id take a fully bult N/A honda motor over a FI honda anyday of the week.
and this is coming from someone who doesnt like hondas.
