i used to have an automatic Camaro Z28 about a year ago. if i remember correctly it had a 5.7liter LS1 V8 in it. i raced Andreas (DrDre) back when he had the S2000 that i now own (ironic isnt it) and we went from about 40 to 100+ and neither of us gained an inch. i did have a passenger and he is a really good driver. the Z28 was all stock. the s2000 was lightly modded. just thought id throw that in there!

That is because a 40 punch in an auto LS1 is like a 5mph roll in an S. Either way, I was walking away from this guy in 2nd gear when I hit 4500 and he started in first.

I dont know much about his car. I look under the hood and just see a shiny engine cover and a MASSIVE turbo and a custom fabbed header and it scares me.

Iceman, would love to hang out with your group sometime. I don't really do organized races, but if I see you rolling around town I am down for some fun now that you wont kick my ass as bad, lol.

he claimed he started in 1st. i started in 2nd and kept it there until 70ish. the car was silver.
Only reason he stuck with you is because it was silver.

Good run, now imagine if you kept going? woulda been 4-5 lengths maybe.

1 lane road and the S2K turned from a stop sign right after me, I went ahead and shifted into 2nd and waited until he got on my bumper (well, 20' off) and nailed it in 2nd. He stuck like glue until about 4K rpm and then he feel back about 1-2 cars by my 5500 in 2nd (maybe 70mph?).


I really wish I had a better run with it as that is pretty damn inconclusive except to say that in 2nd gear I can pull him in his 1st gear from a 15mph punch.
Considering you probably have a 1sec jump, on top of that, 2nd gear in your car is ok. Your car only have a few thousand rpms before redline, the APII just entered the VTEC. Sounds like fair run.

If you can barely out run AP2 by 1 or 2 car, I am sorry to tell you. That is hardly impressive. Add a 150shot, then go and challenge some of the fast modded S2Ks. Select carefully, there are some beast out there.
