had some great runs with a guy in an s2k this morning.. i run into this guy sometimes on the way into work. last time i saw him i was in my 5.0 and we messed around a bit, but he got the better of me.. last time i was in my evo i didnt run into him until we were in congested traffic. this morning i ran into him as soon as i merged onto the highway and then it began.. we had numerous runs, but most were with him getting a running start on me, and me having to anticipate how soon to hit it so i could hold off his charge.. sometimes i was able too, and other times i didnt hit it soon enough.. at one point he was in front, he pulled out into the middle lane between a couple cars so he got a reasonable jump, and then i gave chase.. i first had to close the gap he had, and started passing him by 140ish.

the only clean run we had was when i slowed to let him catch up to give a thumbs up, which we both did.. then i started to jump on it to show him to go, and i waited til he downshifted then we both nailed it.. i pulled from him fairly decently and we ran it up pretty high, although i didnt keep track of how many lengths i had on him.. the car had stock exhaust and didnt sound loud so i imagine he was stock (im stock).

long story short, i ran an s2k a number of times and beat him on a clean run, and even when he had a jump most times. but it was a fun 40 miles until he got off his exit.

good kill. my brother has an s2000, and it's a crazy fun car to drive. unfortunately it lacks a bit in the power department...

i had a similar encounter with an s2000, but i'm making 330whp, it wasn't very pretty for him....

they are cool little cars. and they actually make great power for a n/a 4 banger.. but they have zero tq, and only make decent hp in the upper revs.. i do like their high redline though.

not trying to flame or anything but why do you have an s2000 under your list of cars if its infact your brothers? :poke:

i pick and choose my spots.. only where its safe enough to do it. and ive been a motorcycle road racer for a lot of years so im used to speeds much higher. 150mph is small potatoes really.
