My wife drives a G35, but the sedan. Gotta tell ya, that thing is a damned SLEEPER. It will give my car a run from a dead stop. As far as mods go, she was all excited because apparently someone makes a twin turbo for it, which puts it around 350hp I think. Not bad, plus lots of bottom end power already.

And Jayhawker, I'm telling on you... running a stock Z when you're SCd... <tisk tisk>

I find it very funny. That's what modding your car all about. Having secrets weapons. And the only way for the other person to find out it "spirit" runs. I wouldn't have bothered telling the z guy either. Who cares, you are the one going home with the smile on your face. Keep in there.

I agree evo, it is what it's all about. It's not like everyone is racing for slips or even money, if that were the case then they would know what's under the hood. I have a sleeper for the most part, oem wheels, oem spoiler, lip and strakes. the only thing fancy on the outside is the smoked corners, clear side marker, S badges and if you can even notice, the exhaust. Other than that, it's just a plain old S2000...




Under the hood is a different story, Comptech SC with a better pulley, PWR aftercooler, bigger injectors, header, BOV, custom inlet piping to the SC, etc.
Under the car is different as well, x-brace, sway bars, chassis reinforcement, more aggressive alignment, etc.

ok, lets not get into a pissing match here. There is no need for it, both are great cars in their own respects. Leave it at that.

Those numbers are BS shiri. They didn't know how to launch it, as shown by the terrible 0-30. I've seen time .6 seconds faster than that.

How many times have I seen people quoting that they are stock when they have CAI,ECU, exhaust or even different tires but don't say anything when they are racing?

Take it or leave it, stockwise Z is faster, SC Z is faster, Turbocharged Z is faster.
