Okay, let's do this by the numbers.

Just to make sure we are all looking at the same thing, I made screenshots.

Let's start with the GT:



It says: 1/4: 14.1. Realize that the S2K's best claimed time is 13.9, and they have said that this same Mustang has refused a rematch, including one from a dead-dig, and from the implications above, asked for a rolling-race.

Now on to the first race:

The race starts with this image:


Which becomes this:


Let me guess, the Mustang driver missed a shift?

The second race:

Starts with this:


And ends with this:


The S2000 is obviously pulling forward.

The third race:

Starts with this:


And we get this:


Now, this is where you allege that the Mustang "clearly" missed a shift, but looking at the video, it is a steady pull forward by the S, not a sudden drop-off, just as it should when somebody actually misses a shift. Also, the S is about the same distance ahead as it was in the first race. Do you claim then that the Mustang missed a shift twice?

Okay, I'm sure you love these next ones.

Fourth race:


End result:


The Mustang actually won this one, as the images show. Then again, I COULD (but I won't ) argue the case that the S2000 driver shifted a bit slow on this one, as it didn't seem to pull the same as it did in the previous runs.

_________________________________________

SO...in analyzing the video as you have, I actually see the S2000 winning THREE times, not the 2 the S owner claims, although he probably counted the second race as even, although I see the S about a couple of feet ahead.

Sounds about right with what's being said, huh?

Shut the hell up! So what if the two cars are evenly matched? So what if the Steeda is ever slightly faster? So what if the S is slightly faster? Who gives a rat's ass? I don't.

Go drive your Mustangs. I simply don't care. That's why you don't get to own one of the funnest cars in the world: the S2K. You only go on here to say this and that, but you don't get to experience what owners experience. Boo freaking hoo! Envious you all shall be. Gosh, I just LOVE driving my S, esp. with the top down in the morning sun and breeze. Gosh, this is what life really is. Gosh, driving this thing gives me an orgasm.

Hahahahha, here we go, this is what the camera guy has to say about the races....

Race 1-
sorry I turned on the camera late and it was all out of focus. Ran from a 35mph roll and the Stang was slow getting into gears so he got pulled like a mofo.

Race 2-
32mph start.....s2000 pulls down low till about 100mph+ and the Stang starts to come back.

Race 3-
40mph start......Stang misshifts and they both let off

Race 4-
40mph start again. This is the only 2nd gear pull we did. Seems to of been the closest race. No one ever got pulled on by a car.

I got another response.....

"Race 1 you can't even tell whats going on....

Mustang won races 2 and 4 and looked well on his way to win race 3 without the misshift...


If the Honda guys seriously think the S2000 won, then they are all blind...
Mustang pulled at least 1/2 car each time,on the top end no less. Didn't win by much, but a win is a win."
