I am by no means an expert or even that experienced with drag racing an S2000, but after 6 or 7 runs I was able to manage a 98.5mph trap and 2.0 60' on a bone stock AP2.

I think I can get the trap speed up a little bit from that with better shifting. I don't think I can do more than maybe .1 better on the launch though (without drag radials or slicks).
I would say anything under 95mph at sea level definitely needs improvement.

Never feather the clutch,on a launch,you will fry it,just dump the F#%@&%g pedal,and feather the throttle to get the best traction.
On the strip,MPH.are an indication,of the power output of your car,and E.T.are an indication of your driving skills,generally speaking.
With good(+/-average)skills,your stock S2K,should be in the high 13's at 100-102 mph.

never feather the clutch on the S2k. all you'll get is a slipped and glazed over clutch.

A 2.0 60 is quite good,you should have been above 100.

I slip the clutch EVERY time. If you really want to get a good 60ft you dont wanna spin. i ran a 11.3 with a 1.9 60ft on stock S02s
if you slip the clutch with the stock pp/disk, your 60' will be crappy, and you'll fry the clutch.DO NOT SLIP THE CLUTCH in an S2k if you're n/a or have the stock clutch and pressure plate. if you do, you'll get nothing but slip, and you have a good chance of frying the clutch and glazing it over. the stock pressure plate in our car is not strong enough to clamp down on a super heated clutch that's hot from slipping.

Gimmee a hollar Iceman. I'll show you how to drive that thing in person.......... Seriously. I dragged my "S" for two years very regularly. I have two burned CD's of nothing but S2000 drag racing videos. Let me know if you wanna see them. I probably only live 15 minutes away from you.
