'00 Mustang GT vs. S2000

Here's a video of whats supposed to be a '00 Mustang GT vs. an S2000. It's a street race and it has dialogue and everything.

The Mustang guys got pretty cocky, but the race was much closer than they thought.....

I found this on another message board. However, I'm not sure how legit the video is since the dude who posted it was just some random guy so I dont know how honest he his. He said that he was the one in the S2K and he said that he was racing an '00 GT. But you can't really see enough to tell if it's a Mustang GT for sure.

Anyhow, it's funny to watch so check it out.
here's the link....

http://www.videomasters-usa.com/s2kvs00gt.wmv

Either way it was a great video. I love seeing cocky morons get beaten; there's nothing better when it comes to racing in my opinion. I'm saving that one. :D

looks more like a v-6 stang,

reasons are
1. 2000 GT's run very very low 14's to high 13's
2. S2K's run mid 14's
3. the mustang has the head start

the 2000 v-6 stangs are mid to low 15 sec cars, and thus with a head start like that, the s2k would start pulling, and then pass like that.

Then again, could be a gt with a bad driver, or maby a decent driver and the s2k had a good driver.

Cool video regardless :D

Actually...the S2k boasts times of very very low 14 sec 1/4 miles....if I'm not mistaken their 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are almost identical to the new generation Mustang GTs....maybe be a tenth of a second off here and there.

Correct me someone?

actually the mustang is owned by a guy named andrew, it was stock, the s2k by a guy named ray. the s2k had a intake, but now has a comptech sc. yes the race is funny, yes mustangs are slow. that video is from my town

The difference between a good driver and a bad one can add up to a second or more between their times. However, I like to see cocky drivers get theirs. No matter what they are driving.

I have no real info to post about this Video...


Nothing of Value....


Just wasting internet...


Its funny when he goes SHIT! hahaha. Sounds like ... somebody... saying Shit... Its funny.


Wasting more Interweb.


Anywho... Im off to go put gas in the truck, and other randoms.

Well if both were stock then it would be very close. Basically it should of come down to driver skill.

i've seen you say stangs are slow many many times,

1969 429BOSS ran low 13's

2000 GT's run low 14's

2000 Preludes run mid 15's

2000 Integra R's run 15.1's


Stangs are slow?

actually, many stock preludes have broken off 14.9's and even a few 14.8's. i never said stock preludes were fast, hell, i think my prelude is slow, and seeing as how most gt's are barely faster, not even a full second with their, mad powa yo, i think they are slow too, you just watched a video of a s2k 4 cylinder with a intake that adds nothing at this altitude, beat a mad fast gt, ohhh no!!!! s2k is slow, prelude is slow, gt mustangs are slow, hell, cobras aren't that great either, but a little better

ok we've established everything is slow.

so what is fast? anything lower than 13's?


i say we use a universal way of knowing what is and what isnt slow


how about...
anything 16.5- ^ is Slow
anything 15.5-16.4 is Decent
anything 14.5-15.4 is Quick
anything 13.5-14.4 is Fast
anything 13.0-13.4 is Hella Fast x 3
anything 12.5-12.9 is Freaking Fast
anything 12.0-12.4 is Sweeeet
and
anything 12 or Lower is just plain Greased lightning.

This is for street cars, anything thats designed for the track probably doesnt apply. So lets all see where we fall in.

I think I fall into the, Freaking Fast category. Need actuall time slip to verify.

and that chart pretty well says it

I think that is an acceptable chart.

Yeah, I agree with the chart.:) So I guess that I would barely make the "decent" category! lol...:D

Question: Have you by any chance ever heard of power-to-weight ratio?

Judging from your ignorant comments, I would say no.:rolleyes:

Not everything is set up to be a drag car:rolleyes:

And I think that its cool than a 4cyl S2000 can keep up with a V8 mustang. That says a lot for honda. You tell my how many stock domestics can turn 9000 rpm stock.

a 67 Chevy Z28 with a 302 V8 probably could, best shift time was at 7500rpm. it could probably make it to 9000rpm... heck even if it only made it to 8000 thats creaming for a 'big' V8.

making near 390-400hp not bad for a 35 year old engine huh?

as i've said in another post, the 302 Z28 was lethargic under 4000 RPM making it not the best for a drag car. it was designed for the Trans Am racing series.

i still think JuanPacoDelTaco is a dip though. at least we all have that in common.

Greased lighting here:D :D

Ever heard of Formula 1 retard? I am concluding that you really don't know crap about any car. Oh and by the way, the S2000 still won didn't it. Can't argue with that.

F1 = not alot of torque and 18000 rpm :D and 820hp or something like that


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT WAS SWEET

"Whats that S2000 doing up there"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

:devil: i want an S2000:angel:

actually no i want a Skyline :bandit:


That video is sweet

Obviously the s2000 owner knew how to drive. It takes some skill to make an s2000 fast, were talking about 8000 rpm launches to even reach the 1/4 times posted by Car and Driver. Most of s2000 that run at the local track cant drive, they are usualy in the mid 14s-15 range. In a race with an s2000 and a new GT ,the Mustang should inch out the s2000 and beat it fairly well. Thats if both were driven by proffesionals. The lack of torque causes the s2000 to be sluggish down low, the time that i drove one, it felt like a civic untill you hit 6000 rpm then it would set you back. Decent cars if driven by a pro, and only on a road track.

And what about those Rx-7's??
no pistons, no conecting rods, no vtec, no carbs....
but lots of stuff.
:sun:

what about rx7's, they are a little faster than miatas, but still every bit as gay!!!

Where I live, there are a handful of RX7s that will stomp a mudhole in YOUR ASS! How do you figure RX7s are gay?

50/50 weight distribution 225hp (needs more i thinkso anyway) and rear wheel drive whats wrong with that?

Originally posted by NSX-R-SSJ20K

Its not a prelude.

it's not even about that, it's the fact that they are not very fast stock, and blow up when modded, yeah what a car. most of the people i have met in those cars are gay, not literally, and think their little miata is hot shit, they are not. i used to stomp all over them in my z, with a lot less mods.

Miatas are not even in the same league as RX7's. And the last of the RX7's ran low to mid 14's in the quarter mile stock. I dont really think that is slow. And thats true, they do blow up when modded, but usually thats ONLY when someone mods them who doesnt know jack about rotary engines.

Very true, get a piston tuner working on a RX-7 and usually you have trouble.

I have had my modded RX for 5 years and never had a problem.
Wankel rotary’s are finicky with heat to an extreme.

Also you have to watch fuel delivery because of this same thing.
Rotary’s really do not like lean conditions, it blows apex seals.

But yea I’m not sure where you get off thinking 7's are gay.

Cybercrx00 I used to kinda like where you were coming from, but I think you have proven yourself a pompous asshole.

you know you love it, maybe some day someone will figure out how to make rotaries as fast as piston engines, but untill that day comes, remember who dominates the dragstrip. guess everyone will get all hurt if i say supras are gay too.

since they, like rx7's, fall into the category of every ricer's wet dream

oh oh oh what about the skyline.

mad love for nissans, you gotta have mad love for nissans, i think overall nissan has the highest number of badass cars and trucks

Personally I would go w/ Toyota, b/c let's face it, Supras are bad asses! Also, as far as trucks go, um I am almost positive the Toyota Tundra and the Forerunner received the highest rating in Consumer Reports. Not trying to take anything away from Nissan, b/c they make quality automobiles. I am in love w/ the Skylines.
Cybercrx, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't see how you can show such disrespect for Supras and RX7s. Talk to me when you get your Prelude up to par. Since when did Ludes start owning the drag strip? You should try to expand your horizons a bit more and show a little respect.
Anyway I would like to hear your opinion on why Supras are gay!

oooo Toyota Pickups... decently sweet offroad!
Nissan oooo thems decent too, i gotta hand it to the Pathfinder. I've rallied one offroad, in some mean terrain launching it airborn numerous times. I even drove it on the sidewalk once.. why not? Mad props to the Pathfinder. 175,000+ Miles and it still goes strong (minus some valve train noise and lack of power now... i guess it didnt appreciate being drifted through dirt for hours on end then making a 100 mile drive back home in traffic), too bad its my moms i'd rally it some more!

maybe he thinks supras are gay because they're faster than his Lude? I dunno? I particularly hate ProStock cars.. cause they're faster than mine, by 6 like seconds!.. stupid endless funds Prostock teams.. i hate you!!!

just how i see it! :hehehe:

Ummm, I drive a stock prelude, it's stock for a reason, Honda's are not fast cars. I have a tendency to get in trouble in fast cars, so I bought a slow pretty one. If supras are such badasses, why can they make 800hp and still only run 12's? doesn't seems like they exactly rule the drag strip either. Why do you think every street supra wants to go from a roll?? Do you think if I really wanted to race the prelude I would have big heavy chrome 18's and 150lbs in speakers and wood in the trunk? You said it right, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and in my opinion, supras are ugly, and generally driven by snotty little shits that think they won gods gift to man. Have you ever been to the supra forums? As for rx7's, for the most part, i don't think it's 100% the owners fault for not knowing how to mod them, i think it is a finnicky pain in the ass that isn't worth the time. hell if they like the car so much, drop a real engine in there. Just because the supra and rx7 are the stars of fast and furious, it doesn't mean you gotta get all wet over them

ohh yeah, as for nissan trucks, i own a 4x4, it is great to me. i have some video of me following some modded yj's up and down some rocks in my stock little nissan, it does great. i don't know a lot about tacomas for 4wd, haven't had a chance to go wheeling with them, but one thing i can tell you, a buddy of mine has a machine shop and does work for a nissan and toyota dealership. everytime i go in there, he has a set of either 3.0l or 3.4l toyota heads for surfacing and new valves, no kidding, that like every week or two. he is the one who told me to get a nissan, because he never gets them in. i was originally shopping for a tacoma. so i've had my frontier for more than a year now, and it is sweet, and i've beat the crap out of it 4wheeling.

I think pathfinders are gay.

GTs cost what, 7 grand less than an s2000.

Hey cybercrx00 you must not know anything about anything if you think an 800 hp supra run's 12's..... there are many 9 second supras that are running around who drive to the strip with their A/C on run single digits and drive back home. I hate argueing with close minded dipshits like you. How can you badmouth other cars when your prelude probably has trouble running 15's I suppose your prelude is a "show car" right? :rolleyes: you should stick strictly with show, cause you dont happen to know crap about performance. Oh yeah, your the guy who said "mustangs are slow" Have you ever tried running an even stock GT??? I love to run into morons like you at the races, who seem to think their body kits and big wheels increase their performance. Keep racing those toyota corrollas to keep your ego up. Stupid Ricer. :flipa:

p.s. im not flaming imports, i respect all cars that are build to go fast. Just cant stand stupid magazine racers.

hahahaha, your funny guy, coming from a '88 mustang, which i hope to god is a v-8, since i've seen those mad 23 second runs from the 4 cylinders. as for racing gt's, i've beat a couple 5L fox bodies, and one 96-98 gt, all pretty much stock, and pulled them in my stock prelude. as for the newer ones, i have yet to race one, i'm sure it would beat me, but by how much? probably not a whole lot considering i've seen some running low to mid 15's, and the prelude is right at 16 flat, keep in mind the drag strip is at 3800ft. go on with your 5L beater make it fast, cuz there is no way in hell you will ever be able to make it pretty

yes i have a four banger drag mustang :rolleyes: Im so glad you beat some fox bodies in your prelude, after all your prelude is a "sports car" Ha, i can name SUV's that will take your car. Hey i have a 97 prelude too, but the difference is i dont treat my prelude like a sports car, cause it isn't, infact its my winter beater. As for the beating mustangs thing, the newer GT's have pulled off high 13's, but average is mid to low 14's, ive seen some run 16's as well so anything can happen. Oh, you mentioned in a different post your prelude ran bone stock a 14.8x?? and now your saying you run 16's flat?? whats up with that? My mustang is pretty enough for me, no one has ever told me it looks bad. Maybe i should get a body kit and 18" rims like you. i bet you get all the girls with that!:rolleyes:
I dont like starting stupid aruguments, thats why i refrain from saying "x cars are slow"

i never said my prelude ran 14.8, you have me confused, that would be nearly impossible unless i were to drive to another state or something considering all of the tracks in NM are at an extremely high elevation. my best time is a 16 flat, at 3800ft, all i've ever claimed. as for your stop saying "x cars are slow" all i ever hear from domestic guys is that hondas are slow, so what does it say when a near stock honda beats a near stock gt mustang? as for your bet you get a lot of girls comment, i'm married, so #1. i don't think getting girls is on my priority list, and #2, when i was single, i didn't need a car to get girls, hence the reason i have a wife. if you use your car to get girls, you are sad, and the women you like are pathetic. i used to have girls always wanna ride in my Z, but that's all they want, they are worthless whores. if you really wanna brag, go out in a rusty '78 pinto and brag about all the girls you get.

very unlikely that a stock say 2000 prelude will beat a stock 2000 GT. but im over that. anything can happen on the street.
Hell my only 2 losses in my mustang have been to turboe'd civics. That was just when i just had bolt on's though. Car is tottaly different now. :smoka:

Also i never said i pick up girls with my car. As you said, that's pathetic. Girls think my car is "loud and smells like gas" anyways.
I never bragged about anything, i just felt i had to reply to your "mustangs are slow" and "800 hp supras running 12's" comment.
If you talk to any real car enthusiast, they will respect all cars made to go fast, be it a honda or a ford. Ofcourse there are retards in the both import and domestic crowd.
peace.

stock hondas (aside from s2k) run high15's and up. Fox Body mustangs run 14's Now this may not seem like much...but for a street car, stock thats alot. Especally considering the mighty s2k and type R's run 14's.

Everything fast deserves respect. If you make a pinto go fast, i'll give you mass props. Same with a civic, if you have a fast civic, i'll tip my pervibal (sp) hat to you, epsecally sence civics are slow as pigs (i've driven Si's before, I know this to be a fact considering they wernt a hell of alot faster than my moms 94 geo prizim)

now give me a taco, I must eat and depart....yess....or maby a grilled stuff steak burrito....mmmmmm...those are good...
:p

I do believe that is incorrect. nsx is high 13's-low 14's, rsx and prelude are right at 15 flat with a few dipping into high 14's, gsr is low to mid 15's and SI's are in the same area, cl/tl type-s is high 14's, so i wouldn't say all honda's except for the s2k are high 15's and up

Correction: NSX-T's are listed by Motor Trend magazine as having a best run of 12.8 in the quarter. A stock S2000, also in the same magazine has run a best of 13.8. The S2000 run was accomplished by launching at barely under redline and shifting like wise...no speed-shifting. Sport Compact Car has run a best of 14.5 in a stock Integra Type R. Take note these were accomplished with writer/drivers and conducted on regular road tracks with instrumentation...not on a prepped dragstrip with better grip.

But, most races are impromtu, taking place on regular road surfaces. So, I think that most car magazine tests reflect real world performance. The only variable being that magazine test drivers can actualy and know how to drive properly.

I agree and disagree. Most people here have discussed and have agreed that magazine testers are slower than people who actually have owned the vehicle for a while and know its characteristics. Magazine testers, though good drivers, certainly, are usually just driving the car almost for the first time, or during a limited amount of time, after a few practice runs, or from previous testing. Also, their performance numbers reflect how that car does with regular shifting. I know when I street-race, I speed-shift and abuse my tranny enormously, depending on how badly I want to win, or how much faster I know the car I'm racing is. I am sure the times from the magazine can be improved. This is why Blackbird01's T/A WS-6 has run at a best of 12.9 stock, although the magazines have only tested it at a best of 13.4. His car might be an auto, but he also ran on a prepped dragstrip...

I'm not sure that's what HE ran...That IS however, the BEST time a stock LS1 has ran...

I've seen a few slips posted on ls1.com from stock cars (supposedly - I wasn't there) that break into the high 12s. Its rare, but it does happen.

According to that chart, anything faster than about 12 is "Greased Lightning". That just proves that cars are not exactly the fastest vehicle you could choose. Most high-end bullet bikes (not sayin' I'd prefer one. I feel safer in my car!) can run high 10s and some can run low 9s. Not a very fair comparison however...

A fair comparison would be the Dodge Charger on Fast And The Furious. 9 Seconds. (Watch the movie, the part where Dom shows him the Charger)

9 seconds, fuck... that is fast.

Anybody know of any real cars (besides F1s, Nascars, Funny Cars, Top-Fuel Dragsters, etc... those don't count cause those are not street legal.) that can run that fast?

I was the usual hangout a couple fridays ago, Sam Club, some group of people just put off a car show in the middle of the parking lot. You can just pull your car up there if you want to show it off it doesn't matter, no judges or anything.

Anyways at like 9:30 the whole lot of us heard this loud rumble below the hill. Everyone turns around to look that way and a dark red 1971 Chevelle SS pulls up and parks his car. Huge blower sticking out in of the hood, looked like the one used on that Charger. Huge slicks on the back, wheelie bars, side exhaust, pizza cutters. He looked like he just came back from the track since thats the same night they usually have races. He had tags on it and he told me himself he was allowed to drive it on the street. I can't remember exactly his 1/4 mile time but I think it was either 9.61 or 8.61. He took the hood off and naturally all you saw was nothing but a huge engine strapped down.

Pretty awesome car and that color was beautiful. Nice site to see we don't get many radical cars like that coming to the show.

Umm Yes i know of a 66 Chevelle that ran consective 9's all day, and was a daily driver. It was later sold, so the man could buy a 6 second bracket racer... with a 1300hp 496. That was a cool site, a top fuel rail parked in the drive way of Suburbia California. :ylsuper
