finally i got to race my 03 m45 against the s2000!

[viperatc1]

the first race was close i beat him at the tree with a good reaction time but he still passed me before the end. he was very impressed though. 14.48 to 14.05. then he blew me away with a 13.74 to my 14.50. the videos are now posted on youtube so go watch and enjoy people! it's under s2000 vs m45. please comment back on what you think. thanks all

it really wasnt a bad launch 2.14 60''. what happened was i had a gtech pro in the car and was messin with it at the time of launch. if u noticed in the second video he left first.

[CakeDaddy]

good video. That S2K seems to be tuned with exhaust system and I'm sure he has other goodies in it. yeah!! that 2nd video was impressive. good stuff

[viperatc1]

well i'm going back soon for sure! i feel that the 1/8 mile is whats killing the quartermile.75 mph is way low for this car. i found a link on the net that had a post of the car hitting 78 in the 1/8th mile and 99 in the quarter. thats 3 mph down in the 1/8th and 3 mph down in the quartermile! that should bring it in the right bracket. i'm lookin for 14.1 or 14.2. the s2000 should not walk away from a 340hp 333 tq car. something may be wrong.

oh and that s2000 is not stock. it has an intake, racing downpipe ,1200 dollar exhaust and 4.77 gears! so believe me he was very impressed! oh and by the way he is my nephew. we will be doing a roll on race from about 60- 130 or 140. hopefully we can get it on vid! please comment back on the race. thanks all

damn! down pipe, exhaust, intake!! yeah that is big buisness for a S2k and played him tight.

[viperatc1]

yeah and the crazy thing is that all i did was punch the gas! no torque brake, nothin!!!! i need more seat time at the track with this baby and with some nasty 60'' times shes gonna be very low 14 or possibly high 13!!!!!

[auditech10]

What tire pressure in the rear? Maybe going down to about 20-26 might help just a teeny bit?

[viperatc1]

36 psi all around! i really wish manual mode didnt shift early on its own because that would really help. 6500 is way too soon.

[sr79labrat]

Looked really close to me! What did he run stock?

I will have some parts/ ideas for you to kick his butt!

I would for sure lauch with the car stalled up.

Good race and tight vid!

stock he was running low 14.@97-98. at the track i weighed the car with me in it with out the full spare 3,988 pounds vs his weight with his spare removed also 2,870 pounds.over 1000 pnds less and dyno'd 202 hp @the wheels! that's alot for a car of this weight.
