Well before I got my 03 S2000 this past summer. My friend and his brother told me that this kid with a LS Vtec Civic Hatch back was a bad a$$ in my town. My friends told me how fast the car was and told me it probably smoked my s2000 off the line and back. Claiming the civic was a 13 second car. I was kinda pissed off at first that my friend though it would even have a chance with my S2000, but in my mind i was like just wait till I get my car I'll show you guys who's the boss. Anyways 1 week later I finally got my S2000 I was learning how to drive stick on my s2000 it wasn't hard I learned it within 1 week. Anyways me and some friends were chillin out side a coffee shop and across the parking lot was these kids with civics & Intergas sooped up, but no engine mods thinking there bad ass.
one fo my friend wanted to hear how loud my exhaust was so i rubbed it. Then this kid in a red hatch civic said " Yo my friend said that your rubbing your exahust I'm like yeah so?" He's like "yo you want to race my friend LS Vtec for some loot". I'm like sure I'll race him.
Here comes the funny part all these kid sitting at the parking lot were like Yeah The Hatch back going to smoke him inside out. We drove to a road middle of nowhere with a traffic light. All the other kids were out on the side of the road looking out for cops. When The light turn green I launched my car and he kept up with me in 1st gear by 2nd gear I was two car length away 3rd gear all i could see was his small little head light my mirror. I race him once than coming back he's like
I'll leave you in the dust this time. We raced again and he just got smoked again.
After the 2 races we went back to the coffee shop and all you hear was these kids kissing my ass telling me how fast my car is and crap even the guy girl friend with the LS Vtec was checking out my car telling me how fast it was.The funniest part is the kid still think his car is fast saying he didn't have the right tires on and he said now he'll have someone to race against for the first time. The guy handed me over 120 bucks for the race. What a loser LoL thinking a b16 can take on a s2k .

DOES ANYONE THINK I SHOULD RERACE THIS LOSER AGAIN??
Can anyone also tell me how to lanuch my S2000 better? So i can smoke them even faster off the line & is it better racing with your top on or down?
Dude, don't be overconfident. There are plenty of LS vtec hatchbacks here that could hand N/A S2000's their asses.

I should have bought a 1995 RX-7 instead of a s2000 if I'm going to get smoked by LS Vtec hatch, what's the point of us buying s2000? if were going to get smoked easly by ls vetc.

Yeah, what's the point? For drag racing? Right on! Several hatchbacks I know will crush your S2000's ass, so don't be too overconfident.

If you wanted a good car to drag race in, then no, you shouldn't have gotten an s2000. The s2k is not a drag car. Have you noticed how well the car handles?

Just take it to a road course and you will be in love all over again.

I know the s2000 handle really good, but i don't want to get my ass handed to me by a hatch. So can anyone help me out? I'm willing to pour out the loot and do some serious tunning. What's the best Turbo to buy I'm looking forward to get my s2000 400 whp or in the mid 11s. Also can someone give me some good tunner shops around Canada or some where close to ontario is it's the state.
Thanks

I do respect other people car. I don't respect people who talk alot of shit on the street and than loses. Come on It's only a B16 under his hood that's it nothing else has been done. Seriously if you seen this kid on the street you'll think he's a dork. What kind of car does your friend have running 13.0 stock?I'm just curious.
A b16 is a civic Si engine.
Ls-Vtec is a b18b block(integra LS) with either a b16(civic Si) head or b18c1(integra GSR) head or even a b18c5 head(integra type R).

A built B16 hatch in a EG6 chassis is much more formidable than you may think. Surprisingly, I meet a lot of people who do swaps and don't do a good job (one look under the hood tells a lot about the amount of detail they put into it). Civics are way lighter and with Type-R gear, they can wipe out an S2000.

Not to come across the wrong way frans2k, if you're NA... you'll get beat by every (performance) VTEC motor equipped with a turbo. Civic, Integra, Prelude... B16, B17, B18, H22A/H23A... any one of these with even a half-descent mild turbo setup is more than enough to take out even my S2000 equipped with every Mugen power mod. You'd have an easier time taking out a D-series motor w/ turbo on a Del Sol.

My bud has a 90ish crx with a home built turbo, no intercooler and he's running 13.2's. This is on a stock d16 motor. My old 92 civic hatch with a JDM b16a2 did a 14.2 on the stock 13" wheels with hockey pucks for tires. LS/vtec hatch will run 13's all day. Point of the story is...you can make a lawnmower faster than the S if you really wanted to, but it's still a lawnmower. ( I miss my civic )
