Mark, I got a lot of time for your lack of advertising to all that you have a S/C fitted - on here and on the car.

Leaves everyone wondering...

In a stock S with low optimax at Santa Pod my best time was 14.1 secs @96mph. That was a very hot day though.

Think a stock S might manage a 13.9 on a good day.

Never tried it in my 06 though.

Nice! I did a 14.63 @ 97.46 the other week with the Supra club event, hasten to note, I got beaten by everything there! But was still amusing to leave the line quicker than some of the turbo lag monsters

As a point of interest, I did some runs at the end of the day with air box lid on and off to see if it made any difference, here are the results of the 2 runs:

Air Filter lid off: 14.78 @ 97.01

Air Filter lid on: 14.77 @ 97.41

Not a lot in it, suppose the results are not that conclusive as I only managed 2 consistent runs, the lid was off for about 2 weeks after that before I realised that I was using far too much fuel due to enjoying the sound when flooring it all the time

I suspect someone who can make a good launch will get an S2000 with a changed final drive into the low 13s
