The S2000 vs. Mustang! Featuring the Whipple-supercharged Silverado!

[SuperGroove]

Nah, you didn't offend me...I like cars more than I like music It's an appropriate title, cause I mention your superb Suburban

Paul

BTW...like someone said, nothing like the sound a of a V-8! S2000s...bah, I'll take my 360 Modena

the S2000 would spank the mustang around the track like a punk bitch girl.

Not in drag tests, or off the line, but everywhere else it would plain out dominate.

I don't even have cats anymore. Shhh! Don't tell anyone.

 

[LAUST]

Yeah when it comes to the Screw driver Blowers the compressors are actually all made in europe

Umm... no. The s2000 does have a much more rigid suspension. When you add aftermarket parts such as eibach springs, subframes, brushings, bigger and stickier tires... the s2000 loses. Not only that, the s2000 might win in the curves but in the straightaways on the track it would kill it. The FR500 mustang has a 50/50 weight balance. I can turn my stang into a FR500 for a small amount of cash. I would still have less money in my car than an s2000. A mustang is more fun on the street.

Torque=Driving fun.

Millenium... did U read about ODB3 Man when will it END!!!

 

[Mill]

One of my chips major purposes was to fix my check engine light and idle caused by my offroad h-pipe. Damn emmissions.

 

[LAUST]

Went to MT. St. Helens awhile back and saw what a volcano does to our atmosphere...

 

[Mill]

I am scared of the fine. I would be in debt!

 

[LAUST]

$10,000 yea I would probably tell them I don't know anything about cars

 

[Mill]

I would just play dumb as well. Hell, I know people that have done it and gotten away with it!

 

[LAUST]

They just don't seem in a hurry to make performace parts on trucks... wonder why

1) The S2000 has a 50/50 Weight distribution also.
2) Win in the curves? Yes. Competitive in the straights? Goddamn right. How many horsies does the Stang have?

 

[Mill]

You could always buy a Lightning. Don't know why but I like Ford. Best thing in Alabama is that they don't have emmissions checks. So, unless I get busted by a bored cop, I should be ok.
What track do you race at?

The GTs have 260, the Cobras have 320. Mine has more. Also horsepower is not all that matters. Torque has a lot to do with acceleration. The s2000 has a small powerband and is a vert. Vert's flex way more than a coupe even with subframes. The GT would be pressed to beat a S2000 on a track because of the live axle, but I am sure it would not be that hard to do. The Cobra has IRS and will eat the s2000.

 

[LAUST]

Grasslang climate so no rain to wash away the Smog

 

[Sephiroth_IX]

Ok, when did we say COBRA?

 

[Mill]

<< Millenium

we had one run a 15.7 up here at 6000 feet bone stock the 1999 Cobra's only run a 15.2 here >>





About the 3rd or 4th post.

if you truly want to compare.. why not use a NSX vs. Mustang/Cobra?

S2k doesn't have the torque.. i agree.. and it's not the flagship sportscar for Honda.. which is the NSX

but i think the aftermarket can change it perhaps.. since there are aftermarket stuff coming out.. like superchargers.. so that the S2k is at 340bhp. and the Type-V s2k with VGS steering.. makes it like a F1 car almost

personally.. i have a S2k.. i like it for what it represents.. a sports coupe.. i'm not truly a fan of big engine american cars.. but..hey.. thats what i like

 

[SuperGroove]

For the Price of the FR500, I can get a Corvette Z06. I'd rather have that than a souped up pony car. BLECK! For $50K, I can get a moderately new Acura NSX. The NSX hailed as one of the greatest supercars to grace the planet.

For 50K, I could buy a Boxster S and have money left over for some after market parts. Not like it needs it.

For 50K, I could buy a whole lotta things before I bought a 'stang or camaro.

LAUST,

I want a whipple supercharger oh so bad...how much more power are you putting out compared to stock?

Paul

 

[Mill]

The FR500 does not cost 50k. You are thinking of the Cobra R. The FR500 is not in production. You can turn your mustang into a FR500 though. It is actually not too expensive.

 

[SuperGroove]

Laust,

Where in Colorado are you? I like in Lakewood, not too far away from Bandimere.

Paul

 

[vi edit]

For 50k I could have one very fiesty Audi S4.

 

[LAUST]

Very fast

 

[LAUST]

What kind of car do you have Paul?
