i raced a modded one before not too sure what he had done but it was LOUD! I took him by say 3-4cars

[QUOTE=edmunds.com]Attempting to get numbers at the track was a lesson in wheelspin management. Hot temperatures and an uphill straightaway didn't help matters much, but the numbers speak for themselves. With a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.3 seconds, the Dodge was over a second-and-a-half quicker than its closest competitor, the Mazdaspeed Proteg

"0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds" for the S2000
Car and driver usually has better #'s, and I think they posted a 13.8 @ 104 mph recently for the neon.....I think for the S2000 they got a 14.0 @ 100 (good time for the S btw)....seems faster than a S to me, esp that 104mph trap speed! [/QUOTE]
I'd like to see that Car and Driver article. Edmunds did complain about traction. It's hard to imagine there's an easy remedy for that. And edmunds did get sub 6 second 0-60 times in one of their AP1 tests...

Dont tell me guys that I wasted all my money on an S2000 just to get smoked by a damn American Stock Neon! This is freaking outrageous I faulken hate turbo cheap azz rides like Neons and Evos those things are not built to last but half a decade and thats it! Resale on these cars is nuttin compared to the S. Im sure any car with turbo could smoke are S2000s!
