559EVO

Last saturday In Northrige ca I pulled next to a silver S2000, we were driving next to each other and he was making his supercharger/turbo whine or blow off so I figured Okay this will be interesting Since stock S2000 cant keep up. We lined up, took off at the same time and I got a 1 car jump on him but by the time his gear was ready for a shift he was back next to me, his next gear gave him a 3 car gain on me and we both let off. We gave eachother the thumbs up and went our ways. Dont know what he had but it was pretty fast.

Tons of mods for S2K's. There are some real nasty ones out there prowling the streets. Thanks for being gracious in defeat and not giving us MB guys a bad name.

S2k + turbo = oh no

^+1-those are light to begin w/-if it was a turbo set up (most likley)-those get to the 350-400hp range pretty quick....in a light light car-squirly as hell sometimes tho
Good job on being gracious!

I am on and off of the S2K forum and those with a turbo or SC set up are putting down some serious numbers even with the stock pistons and bottom-end. Over 400 hp for some. There are a few that claim numbers in excess of 600 hp but are far more heavilly modded.

I have raced with SC'ed Miata before (closed course SCCA) and even with only something like 230-280 hp, that is a winning combo in such a light car. I watched one walk all over a C5 Z06 Vette one day, lol. I can only imagine what a similar set up in the more powerful S2K would run like.
