100% my point completely. As i stated before they are two completely different cars with two completely different purposes. But if you look at the posts above thats what everyone else is doing. Comparing the two in ONLY drag races.

I then had the head work, custom grind cams, throttle body, injectors, headers done and a re-tune. Thats when I hit the 450 mark. I do have the dyno sheet i'll load er up. Also My car hasn't seen any 1/4 mile b/c im scared the tranny wont hold up. If it goes it will be my 3rd one since my short ownership. Plan on getting the Renntech kit for it.

As for the fastest c32, there is a local here in VB that I have been getting help from on this build that has a HPS Roots blower that claims he makes more than me. But he says he's built.
please more info on your car and on this C32 with the HPS Roots blower. not sure what he could have really built. motor is really strong from what i hear and have read.

"12.5!"
I ask "supercharged?" to which he replies
"All motor, high compression pistons." He asks what I run and I tell him 13.1 and he scoffs
"In that!?"

We get rolling and we honk and take off in 2nd gear. Expected results; I walked him so hard that I had about 2 car lengths before the end of 2nd and i don't even remember how far I was in front before I shut it down in 3rd gear.

12.5 seconds my *** lol.

tht s2k was prob stock, glad u spank him 12.5 lmfao

I'm glad someone got the point of the post; that I put a ricer in his place, not that S2000's are crap; because they are not.

that doesn't mean that the car is crap. I'm not arguing whether or not that the s2k is a good or bad car. In fact, i wish i had one today at the lapping even today. The fact is the DRIVER got with his pants down lying about how fast his car was.

the guy in the s2k was a ricer, not because he drives a s2k but because he claimed something he obviously did not have.
