there was a video of a sl65 amg on the 350z site at the drag strip and it was only running high 11.7... seems slow for a car with so much torque and hp.... maybe its all the extra weight?

I think it is safe to say a stock S2k is as fast if not faster than 90 -95% of ALL cars on the road... Probably not 95% of all Benz's

Do you know what you would have to do to an S2000 to "only" run an 11.7 ? That is like UR Turbo S2000 AND then drop another 1 sec. off of it. The car is 2 tons and pulls on cars like a 911 TT, Ferrari 360, Lambo Murcielago. Any car that go into the 11's is a heavy hitter.

The scary thing is with a simple chip upgrade from Renntech it can throw another 40 hp (640 hp) & 90 lb.ft. of tq (840 lb.-ft. of tq).

But I know that when little piddly cars rev on S2000s, there has been a sentiment of "WTF?!" But maybe they wanted to see us run in the same way we like being thoroughly drubbed by a shiny 911TT?
you got it man! i only wish i had the 25 grand to buy a used S2000, i drive a miata that cost me 3 grand and I love getting stomped by an S2000, absolutely love it. just from one enthusiast to another, its cool to show off your car, i like it when you guys do.

I agree, some of these guys talk about about these monster benz's like they are slow, as if a 11.7 1/4 is no problem, or about how they take them out by 3 car length's...they are crazy...good to see someone else who actually gets it
