I think he is right.. from what I have seen the cars pull at the track.
1 second gain from turbo sounds real to me...
The real Bullshit part is the S2000 is like 11:1 compression. and no way in hell can you turbo that without lowering the compression. SC Yes, but turbo...nope

Why would you be able to SC something, and not turbo it?
11:1 compression is high, but not too high, You could prolly run 6psi on that with minor fuel upgrades, and a few degrees retarded timing. At that boost, I agree, 1 sec gain sounds decent. Still, those car's should pull low 15's with a bad driver, high 14's with a good driver. Doesn't make much sence. *shrug*

don't feel bad bro....s2000's are quick, just not in the 1/4....think about how long it would take to hit vtec, i mean under 5k rpm theres no power. And i dont think come lsd'd. ne way top end, which is what you say they are quick...nuffsaid

Ive seen a S2000 at the track with nitrous run low to mid 13s not sure what shot he was running.

Im ever so glad you cleared that up for us. Cept Ive never seen gay porn. So like. I guess you've never been to the track. Thanks for trying though. I don't read mags. Your a shit talker, a "keyboard hardass" as Donnie ever so elegantly put it. Your just pissed cuz you had to sell your turbo shit in order to goto your community college.
I truly am sorry to hear that. Go hug a tree.

i wasnt bashing you either mr burns. everyone thinks magazines fucked up when they said the s2k can run a 13.8 well talk to '2qk4u' i believe he ran taht time in his stock s2k and there was a billion page thread on how he was BS'ing but he really did. and i have seen more than 3 or 4 run below the 14.00 mark completely stock. its not an easy car to launch or drive in a 1/4 mile i can say that.
just logically, if you went fro ma stop but the s2k got out in front of you due to traffic, your sohc-t should run low 14s to high 13s so you should be barely pulling on him but i dunno how well up top past 100mph you would do. i understand you probably are almost done with a 1/4 mile around 100mph, but you stated you had a 80mph 2nd gear...so if a s2k can run it up to 160 or so, you should be able to somewhat keep up, cuz i have no idea what your car tops out at. i said good story im just trying to show a reasonable explanation.

ive seen a stock s2000 run a 13.9 at the track, very good driver. yes most ppl dont know how to drive and i have seen stock ones run 14's and 15's, but i have only seen one run 13'9 stock. and the guy with the turbo s2000 running 14's is pretty sad. my friend chris owns a black s2000 and with stock internals he's gotten 12.6-12.9's all day.
