i dont know if that 5.7 seconds is accurate, from the 2 sources ive read from, they were 6.9 and 6.3, i know(or atleast im pretty damn sure) that an e36 m3 can dust them

**z4Power** · 07-14-2006, 03:55 PM

well the z4 3.0i does 0-60 in like 5.8 seconds? i thiiiink...somewhere around there, so it seems like it all comes down to who knows how to shift their car, but do have 6 gears, and he has 5 i believe

**celsdogg** · 07-14-2006, 05:57 PM

^^^ well if your going to race him the last gear or so wont matter, you will want to keep it in the powerband and the last gear wont help unless your trying to go insane-fast.

last night an accord wanted a piece, so i broke it off in his ass

first time in this bimmer

should be a close race between the two. the s2000 is a wonderfull car considering its a honda.

PLEASE if you do race this ricer, do us a favor... do it in a controlled enviornment. I don't want to read any more "learning lessons" from something that could've been avoided. Ask Rob about a night in jail or others that have crashed or had other unfortunate & unexpected incidents. When you least expect it - some moron will pull out, walk out or a million other variables. PLEASE take it to a track - I don't want to read your next entry from a hospital or worse. (sorry to sound "anti - racer", because I'm not - but I know too many people who are missing limbs or who are paralyzed because of 1 unfortunate instance that can't be retracted)

**celsdogg** · 07-14-2006, 06:57 PM

^^^ very true. it is kinda not bright to street race.

in any case, last night when i did it, it was from a red that turns into a 65mph highway.

This is how it should be done:

Its a Drivers race. If he's a better driver than you, you're pretty much toast. I hate tto say it, but a honda s2000 is a very formidible little car.

Stock for stock, I swear its a driver race, so watch what you say until you KNOW you can beat him. And don't trash on his car. It'll last decades longer than yours.

(voted most reliable sports car three years running now.)

**ChrisWorrell** · 07-14-2006, 07:57 PM

Don't race him on the street, anywhere I don't care how controlled you think the area is. Take it to a track.

**94bmw325i** · 07-14-2006, 09:52 PM

I think you will win if you are good at shifting and stay in the powerband.

**Rooz** · 07-14-2006, 11:21 PM

Take him in the twistiesssss I say

Besides, isn't your car still not broken in yet

**RSF5** · 07-14-2006, 11:31 PM

Don't risk it on the streets, just don't it's not worth it when you get to see the motherless family of the women you hit at your trial. Oh, and make sure you beat him.

the s2000 engine is an amazing peice of work
