i've seen 1/4's listed by lots of diff people it seems to be decided that it's between high 13's to mid 14's somewhere in there.. at least that's what i've seen.. and i would have to agree.. not sure why it matters but i live in cali..

That is a cool and useful site. However, it seems to be inaccurate. ie.. it says that the S2000 at an elevation of 100ft, does the 1/4 in 12.75. Most stock NSX's can't even do that. . I punched in many different number combinations, and each result was about 1 second faster than what they should be. I'm not blaming you or anything; just thought i should make some comments about it.

the S2000's are not that fast if you think about, yeah they are fast for a 4 banger, but some dumb fuck in the S2000 msg board said that a stock S2000 can keep up with a stock 03 M5. No way in fucking hell its possible, even the old skool M5's (the E28 88 M5), the first year it was produced is faster, and has more hp/tq than the new S2000's.

Re: how fast is an s2000?

ok I live in cali and the honda S2000, if the person knows how to drive, it should run a 14 flat. Thats the stock time and I've seen it at the tracks down here and thats what it should run bone stock.....

The only possible way i can see a S2000 posting 15s is if the driver has absolutly no idea on how to lauch and use a stick. Their way to light to be running that high of times given their 240hp. If the driver is a decent amateur i see no reason they couldn't be posting mid 14s, but then again, the S2000 wasn't designed to be a 1/4mi. car. They perform heller on the track.

This is true, the S2000 was never meant to be a drag racer. It can go through the twisties better than any of the cars listed above on this thread. But that's what the whole purpose of the car. 50/50 weight distribution + 2800 lbs + precise steering = Holy s*** that car can carve corners. One interesting fact though, it can walk a stock mustang GT. I've always just found that funny. 2.0 vs. 4.6, both N/A

There is now way in hell an S2000 is running in the 13's i dont give a dam what elevations its running at. A toyota supra 325hp 315ft/lbs tq runs the 1/4m in 14.00. How the hell is an s2000 gonna run in the 13's, it has 140ft/lbs tq. Plus i drive a 20th anniversary GTI, i have a eurosport cold air intake and a chip by apr, and i blow on any stock S2000. sure to s2000 get me off the line but my 247lbs/ft tq and 199hp to the wheels will kill it when i hit second. And there is no way my car will run in the 13's so how in the hell can a s2000. whoever says they do is full of shit and if you got a s2000 and want to roll.....bring it ill smoke u as well.
