Default 10 sec S2k!!!!!

Have any of you guys seen this

10 sec S2000

It actually looks like the turbocharged S in Melbourne/Perth that was in Fast4 a couple of months ago. The car in Melb was also on sale a while ago too.
Does anyone know if it's still for sale/sold? Is it the same car?

He says on the web site "only driven between the auto shop and home".

Lots of engine mods but not a single word about brakes or suspension!

I know that there was a 315kw TC S2k a while back but it was a sleeper. This has the VS bodykit from the facts list.

Does anyone have a copy of the article from fast4s they could scan in?

Sorry to say it but ther only way either of those cars will do 0-400m in 10secs is if you pushed them off angel falls.

The one with the basic turbo install would be lucky to hit low 12's whereas the one with the built engine might get mid 11's if the differential and drive shaft dont get vaporised after 2 launches.

Austblue, there is nothing (found) at the link.



Also, I remember there is a White S2k for sale (In Melb) sometime ago which is Turbocharged.
And I remember seeing a white TC in hot fours (tuned by Toda Racing)


Not related but someother modified S within Australasia

I agree. How does the guy know what times the car runs if he's only ever driven it to the workshop and back? Sounds like a prediction based on alleged power figures and weight. That is, a wild guess spiced up with major exaggeration.

The S in QLD doesnt claim any times just HP but the 10.2@149 I dont think so Tim
Would this be possible on 10" slicks? I would have though some tubbing and probably wheelies would be needed...?

Dom is right there is no talk about a stronger diff or anything like that. Tell 'im 'ees dreamin!



Tom dont click on the link it didnt paste properly here. Highlight it then paste it into your address box.
