I'm surprised the HKS RSX is that slow in the 1/4 ?

Serious traction issues would be my guess. Look at the trap speed.

it's front wheel drive and is not setup for drag racing.
trap speed indicates a much faster car...so does the track time.

Awesome! Would have been nice to see them throw a Z06, 911 Turbo or Murcielago in there for comparison....

Brembo. Anyone else questioning their estimated price of all the mods the S2000 has? Almost $14k in engine, $6k in suspension, $8k body/interior, $4.4k for wheels/tires, and $4k for brakes. Thier total is $68,386.
