buying an S2000 next week.. how fast is it, in comparison to say..
I'ver read the hype about the car in this forum and a little in car & driver, etc... I've driven a few and really like it. I'm buying one because of it. But let's look at the hypothetical....
Say, some guy in a ____ pulls up next to me at a stoplight and wants to race. Assuming both cars are stock, who can I probably take (assuming I learn to drive the s2k well), with these cars filling in the blank.
-350z
-mustang GT
-lexus IS300
-trans am
-boxster
I'm just curious. Anyone have stories of smoking someone, who didn't know about the sk2 and thought they could beat it?

Take it to a track and find out. Don't be a fool or worse a DEAD fool. Or even worse kill someone while you're a fool.

You'll beat an automatic 2003 Mustang GT
Youll get owned by a 350z
You'll beat for sure a IS300 , Transam V6 (V8 automatic maybe) , Boxster by a lot(Not S)

The first sentence of your second paragraph practically disqualifies you as a future happy S2k owner.
THe S2000 is not a drag racer, it lacks the torque, horsepower, clutch, transmission, and drive line. Nor does it have the potential to be turned into a street machine.
It is not user friendly to any after market add ons either. There is practically nothing short of FI, that will make this car a street racer.
If you want to blow someone off the line, get a Mustang SVU.

Wait a min.. It all depends on how you race, you gonna dump the clutch and launch or what? If you do i think u will beat every single one of those cars. Well maybe a few exceptions. Mustang mite need to be automatic same with the TA, the boxter S will be a drivers race. If you check the 1/4 mile times on every car, the s2k is faster on paper then all of them cept the TA and stang. The s2000 1/4 mile time compared to the boxter is 14.1 compared to 14.0 by the boxter.
