Run him and send him to school.
He should learn that our cars are not really "slow"

Geez how do you find all these ppl to race you?
I haven't raced anybody like in 2 months since I got a ticket.

Wisconsin S2k

I dont know. I mean, sometimes I cruise and go instigate races... and sometimes they come find me. I guess I just know where to go. (and its kinda boring around here, so cruising and racing is common). I also think this car can look agressive and I'm a young guy so..... beats me????

1st gen vr4(91-93) = 300 hp, 2nd gen vr4(94-99) = 320 hp.
we are faster than the 1st gen vr4, but 2nd gen is faster than us.

First you say that his only chance is if he really knows how to drive that thing, then you say that they are not that much faster than an s2000 (meaning that they are faster). So, which is it?



1st generation VR4's-Stealth RT/Turbo are '91-'93. They run on average high 13's-low 14's (about even with an s2000, maybe slightly faster). The thing is that it is much easier to duplicate this time on a regular basis than in an s2000 (from what I have heard/seen from s2000 owners). 2nd generation is 94-99 (94-96 for the Stealth), they run mid 13's stock, and would pull convincingly on an s2000 at any speed (faster than 1st gen due to better gearing with the 6 speed, 20 more horsepower, and lighter). The easiest way to differentiate between the 2 generations is that the 1st generation has pop up headlights, 2nd generation does not.

knowing how you drive, run him after you get your car fixed.

13.795@101??? Is that with stock S2K?

Anyways, I had 95 Stealth TT with intake before. I also had 2000 M Roadster. I think 98-00 M Roadsters compare neck to neck with S2000s in performace area. And I can tell you this. No matter what magazines say, Stealth TT was FASTER car in straight line. From stop light, from roll, whatever. Be careful, be very very careful. In fact, he could have "manual boost controller" under his hood (easy install). If that's the case, forgettaboutit!!!

Well, knowing that you can actually drive the S2K, and assuming that it's a STOCK 1st gen VR4 (not really clear
from your posts), I'll say RUN HIM, kick his ass, get it all on video and post it here afterwards.

Make sure you get his trash talking before the race on video as well, and his excuses afterwards.

If he's lying about being stock, well, just erase the tape...

Wisconsin S2k

Yeah 13.795 with stock S2k. I've had plenty of videos and some stories and even a couple S2ki members I've met who can back up my driving skills.

I do get pretty consistent high 13's in my car, when it's weather like this (40 or 50 degrees)

And I picked up my car now, as they replaced the MAP sensor this morning, so my car is back and rockin to go.

..... and you are damn right I'm takin the video camera.

wisconsin: did you ever post or scan timeslips for that run?

I think a lot of you might be underestimating the VR-4. I raced what appeared to be a completely stock SL on the highway. Don't know what year, but probably a '94 - '95. From around 70 - 120 I pulled about 2 cars, maybe a bit more. And I know the VR-4 is faster, and its advantage is in the launching...
