i was merging onto the cross bronx expressway last nite and saw what I thought was a Mazda Millenia coming up behind me...

So he flashes his high beams and I pop down to third and gun it...

But then I hear another Vtec roar (I was like WTF) and it turns out the Millenia was a S2000 (don't ask it was 5 in the morning)...so he gunned it and started pulling away at like 100 mph...all i could do was flash my high beams and laugh...

Those cars are fast (obviously)...so I'm wondering if maybe a 3.5L upgrade with headers, pulleys, CAI, springs, and an S/C would beat them...

Just out of curiosity, how much lighter would our cars have to be to beat S2000's...

 

they are a hell of alot lighter them our's, they are capable of 13.66 stock i perosnaly have seen them pull off 14.021 but i have heard story's of people running 13's you would have to gut your hole interior, take out system if you had one and spare tire but all for what i know you like to race as i do but our cl's are luxury and not drag car's the S2000 is a race car and to hang with one is gonna be hard i men it is possible but it will need header ,intake, catbcack pulleyss and a chip then you'll be i the 13's, plis they are even more potent on the highway, 250 hp 9000 redline come on.

there's no way in hell an S2K can pull a 13.66 stock...i spank the crap out of them...and almost beat a comptech S/C'd one

 

13's in stock form...that's sick..

Trust me I ain't no racer, but he challenged me and I though it was a Miata (I meant Miata not Millenia)...

I just asked out of curiosity..

 

the best ive seen a S2000 do at a track is 15.5..and that was with header, intake, dual exhaust...

 

lookim in the altima sight and these people know what the hell they are talin about i argued wityh those people and they insisted that it could be done with the right driver, temp, and height, and as far as that person running a 15.5 with internal's he should be shot that is a discrase with that car. tell thtat jack ass running those time to learn how to drive and yes it can be done i've seen STOCK S2000 RUN 14.021 IN REAL LIFE I GOT A VIDEO

 

14.021 i still dont think so...14.201 maybe on its best day....and all of which is a million miles from 13.66

 

Hey,

Check this link out....look at what car is at the top of the list. My God, what the hell did you do to that car!!!

http://www.car-videos.com/performance/quarter_mile.asp

 

a clk-gtr is nothing to mess with

 

Personally, I dont know exactly how fast they are. I raced one the other night from a roll at about 65. The first time he got a jump on me b/c I wasnt sure if he was going to race and I heard at least an intake roar, possibly something else. The second go round was better...more of an even jump. Through third it was neck and neck, but when I hit fourth I left him. The good thing about this 6 speed is that I can run fourth all the way to 120 or so, and still have two gears left...I'll give him credit though, they are quick.

 

hey type R what you got under the hood because im sure if i had an S2000 and you had a stock type r all you would see if my ass end getting smaller and smaller. and yeah they can run 14.0's and faster, with the right height, sea level, driver and temperature, dwonload a 1/4 video of one off of kaza and you will see show fast they are!

 

my point is they can run 13's stock but most people cant do that 14.0 a person with good skill's case closed!

 

you dont see my sig?....downloading a video doesnt show that an s2 is stock....my car is fast,and i havent met a near stock s2000 i couldnt beat..and 14.69 is my best 1/4 granted that's at 90* degree temps high humidity.....

 

woop's sorry about the sig mistake. but still even more you got a 6 that is heavy no affence you got a bad ass car but the S2000 was built to hang with the best i mean look at it a 4 cylinder pushing 250hp and the crank that's a ball's to the wall car. look no disrespect to you but meet an S2000 driver that's got a stick and know's what the hell hey's doing and you will never see him after 2nd you got torgue and 260 horse plus the header's and intake, and pulley's you will still loose. and im telling you know experiance those thing's are fast from get go to finish.

 

hey typer why you always hatin and talkin smack about honda/acuras. you're always commenting on how much less they really are

 

S2000 is much much lighter than cls ..not sure how exactly the weight difference ..and s2000 has DOHC VTEC high performance engine our cls only has SOHC VTEC engine ..s2000 is a pure sports car with tons of mods... 6 speed manual and RWD...light weighted..and what do u need a 3.5 L engine?it only has 240HP... not sure what do u mean for a 3.5 L engine upgrade?

 

why do you refer yourself to the name of typeR?? do you have any "typeR" modifications done to your car?? haha your name is a joke, you are a joke alwayz hating on honda/acura...i bet you any money you want that i would take you in my beater car which is a 5thgen prelude no FI, just basic mods i/h/e/p/cams/ and a vafc cauz you obviously think your acura is superior to every other acura and honda that is out there...to me, by the way your braggin and flaunting your time slip is a complete joke...14.68?? yes its a respectable time, but your here saying you have a best of 14.68 (hot weather??) and your saying quote "i spank the crap out of them and almost beat a comptech s/c one" hahahahaha thats fukn hilarious...with your time a gsr with i/h/e/a/f tuner and some decent tires could beat you...don go over your head saying you could spank s2000's, your car is a luxurious decent fast car, a s2000 is a sports car...no comparison, so take a moment and think to yourself before you post up stupid shit that makes you look like a idiot...

 

me a joke supra man with a 5th gen prelude...look just under my name where it says moderator...ive been around since 99 over h-a.net ...i dont hate on hondas they're all i own 98 V6 and my '01 cl-s IMO the best honda coupe ever made

as far as best 1/4 time Ive only been once...however ive been to the 1/8th mile track near me atleast a dozen times...just about every other week...i concistantly pull 9.5's and some 9.4's ...i race ALOT and i only comment with my own experience on the cars that some like your self, come over to our board, and arguee against our car... i'm going 9.0 this winter and thats squarley in the 13's so what do i know...i know there's no, non blown,non nos,S2K that i cant beat....


this is me ,ya im the ugly guy in the comp blown 70 shot s2.. on our run he did not spray...the tires were stock but i led 2/3s down ,at which point he went by, in what seemed the last few meters, and ran a 9.09* to my 9.433

 

"look just under my name where it says moderator"

-do i care if your a moderator or not?? does it make you something special?? it still doesn't change the fact that i think your a joke from what you write...

"some like your self, come over to our board, and arguee against our car..."

-have i argued against cl-s car's?? noo.. but i have argued over your statements which is ridiculous...

"i'm going 9.0 this winter and thats squarley in the 13's so what do i know...i know there's non blown,non nos,S2K that i cant beat...."

-thass great i could care less...with the money you spend on modifying your car to hit those times a s2k could easily hit those times with VERY little modification done....with that said, what point are you trying to get across??

acura cl-s is a good mid-priced luxury car with decent speed...but typeR sorry it will not beat a s2000...your just way over your head if you think you almost beat a s/c comptech s2000...maybe what you say is true, but then again if it were true those drivers in the s2000 can't drive...

 

I'm not happy to say this but I lost to a stock S2000 @ the track. He ran a 13.86 to my 13.93 Even C&D said with a good driver the car is capable of running high 13s

 

i visted one of the s2K message boards last night most of what i read seemed to indicate that an s2 when launched very well could go low 14 ...some 14.2's mostly mid 14's and some could only manage low 15's...i was surpirsed that the few with the good times could achieve 2.0 '60 ft times my best is 2.2 ,being auto doesnt help and ill bet 5-800 lbs heavier but from what ive read it's a drivers race witha cl having the edge as you really have to drive the piss out of the S2 to get the power

 

I just wanted to say that I saw an S2K run at the track yesterday and the bet he could do was a 13.8. Mind you also that this 13.8 was with a CAI and a 55 shot, so if they can drop into the 13's bone stock, then the driver is one hell of a racer

 

exactly

 

I don't know for sure he was stock thats just what he told me! i hope he was not stock because I went home thinking to myself damn that car was fast....Now for a 55shot of NOS and a 13.8.. thats a bad driver I can bet you that! what was his trap speed? did he spin alot off the line?

 

im gonna have to go ahead and agree that a CLS cannot beat a stock S2K both having average drivers

http://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthrea...threadid=24133

im gonna take the sides of these people since they own them.... sorry typeR but even with all your mods beating a stock S2K aint gonna happen and you comment about beating any S2K minus force/bottle fed is "ludacrous"--quote M. Tyson

 

Don't forget that rearwheel drive cars are hard to lauch but with the right tires and driver it can be done. I still think by read those little bit of posts that stock vs stock the S2000 will win most 1/4 mile races

 

seriously i bet half the people out there with the s2000 can't really drive or they probably to scared to hurt the engine by reving the shit out of it...but i gaurantee anyone who thinks that a cl-s is faster than a s2000 with basic mods i/h/e will not beat a stock s2000 with some decent tires...both given equal drivers...i drive my friends s2000 a lot so i get a feel for that car and i know how do drive it...the only thing hard about the car is the launch after you learn than its 14.2 give or take alittle all day long...

"what ive read it's a drivers race witha cl having the edge as you really have to drive the piss out of the S2 to get the power"

yes you have to drive the "piss" out of the car but wats so hard about putting the gas to the floor and shifting right before redline? the cl-s has no edge over the s2000 the cl-s only has an edge if the s2000 driver can't drive for shit...

 

 

i think where we are gonna fail to agree is, i think its is much harder for a good s2 driver to pull a very low 14 than an average cl-S driver w-H/I / tires to pull a mid 14 IMO ...this doesnt have to be hostile or negative,dont mistake my love and respect for our cl's, for hatred of others
Steve

 

hey no matter what you own there is always a car out there faster than what ever you have. Some cars setup better for the track than others as well as some for 1/4 miles.

The s2000 to me is a track car, but in the hands of a competent driver, moving the car off the line at 6700 rmps and full race shifts the car is capable of (13.8-14.0)in the qtr. Don't think a lightly modded cl-s is capable of these times.

You guys need to state the obvious and the truth, not stretch it.

I would never get on the board and say hey I just toasted a z06 with my M3, ain't going to happen unless the z06 is going in reverse.

S2K versus CL-S. The debate rages on.
But it can be very simple if you just remember: The car the applies the highest average HP to the ground during a given distance will be the fastest to complete that distance if the cars are of equal weight.
Equal drivers, do the math using the gear ratios and the HPs achieved through the RPM range, then factor in the weight of the vehicle. You'll find your winner given equal drivers.
I haven't done the math comparing the CL-S to the S2K. I know the S2K enjoys a 700lb weight advantage. I venture a guess that a S2K that shifts so he almost always remains in the 6K+RPM range will beat the CL-S to most distances, with the CL-S closing the gap the longer the race goes. My guess.
Hrmm, maybe I should do the math sometime. It really isn't too hard to figure out.
