Mach 1 vs. S2000

[bigjohnson4.6gt]

Was heading on vacation and got on the highway. I was just cruising in the middle lane and i see this s2000 with a body kit come by me and get even. He asks if I wanna go and i motion for a straight section. Im thinking its just another S2000 with an asian driving it. So we line up and he tells me to go when im ready, and im thinking wtf. So i take off and he goes almost at the same time, thats when I hear the bov from his car. It was dead even up until 130 when my governor shut me down, and I got to see him pull away from me. So needless to say I was pretty pissed off.

hah...not a bad race considering your mods.
those things sure do look nice, though!

 

[LitleWhiteSnake]

well that sucks looks like you need a 125 shot then try again

I didn't realize that the Mach1's had such a low speed governor... good excuse to get a tune and more power..

Damn turbo s2000 can only hang with an automatic intake/exhaust mach, that's a shame.

Lol that's what i was thinking, guy prolly spent a good $5k on the car and hangs even with a bolt-on mach1. Sad . . . at least they're fun to drive? :shrug:

My thoughts exactly. Good run.

yeah, a mid 14 second car spent around 5g's to be a mid-low 13 seconds :shrug:
bad investment IMO but what do i know i drive a 2v :rolling:

 

[97desertCobra]

Not bad considering your mods. I blew the doors off a turboed S2000. But then again Im running a Procharger.

 

[JSZ03]

S2000's are fun to drive, for sure...I drove a friend's with the Comptech Novi 1k blower on it and supporting mods...thing was a dog below 5-6k, but ran like a raped ape up top

I would call it a bad investment also but man they are fun to drive. If done right they can be fast also, there is a vid for a 450 hp? turbo S2000 that is running neck to neck (even beating) Lankhoss and we all know how much of a monster that is .

why a bad investment?? those cares look good and some people arent into running 11 seconds... maybe saw the car liked the body and had the money to put alittle under the hood...why not??

People use ot take 50's chevys with the flathead and soup them up to run 16's... when they had the OHV v8s at the time...capable of 14's

Just because someone buys a car doesnt mean they buy it to go fast..admit the s2000 looks sick...

I also have a 03 2v and a v6 and a DSM...

i.e. enough money. Which is the case for just about any car but in the S2000 case it takes ALOT.

Don't dog the hondas, we have no idea what he spent or what boost he's running. Properly setup they can be dangerous like any other car. I wouldn't underestimate them.
