U can't smoke an s2000 with propet driver, U might be able to pull a car or so till 100mph, but not smoke it.

What does the G run stock? I thought it was low 14's....The S2000 is averaging high 13's as tested on the 1/4. Here is an article from road and track setting it at 13.9. Dont get me wrong, I would rather have a G, however, it seems the S2000 is consistently being tested at a faster time.

Here's a magazine time of 13.9: http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/d...data_panel.pdf

(Note the 350Z 30th Anniversary which is lighter than the G35 and has 298hp like the new G35 coupe is slower than the S2000 in this comparison)...

You can also find G35 Coupe times of 14.6 to 14.8 if you want to compare the slowest times around.

How about a lame video of an S2000 owner hitting 13.84 and 13.88? :

Don't underestimate the s2000.

If the driver stay in the high powerband and in vtec, the car is fast.

If they launch at a correct (for the specific platform) 6000RPM than you are right. I dont own one, I have many friends that do. I've seen them run. I have an 05 RSX Type-S which dosent compare..lol

One base ball bat and I can beat it in a parking lot. I don't need to go to the track to do that!
