An auto Max against an S2000? I don't think you would have much of a chance. If the guy in the S2000 really doesn't know how to drive you might be able to take him though. If he doesn't wind that blender up to 6000 rpm's or so and drop the clutch, it would probably be a close race.
I'm going off of the fact that Car and Driver was only able to get a 7.5 second 0-60 out of the S2000 while doing a street start. The thing has NO torque. They have improved the torque in the newer S2000's though as so many customers were complaining about it.

Re: 2000 GXE Maxima vs. 2001 Honda S2000
if the driver of s2000 was totally stupid and didn't know how to drive, he'd be driving a civic. if he has an s2000 and wants to race, that means he has some ideas of racing that car. I say stay away from him. Why waste your gas if you know what the outcome is anyway?

Re: 2000 GXE Maxima vs. 2001 Honda S2000
As stated already if he knows how to launch that S2k then you are going to be eating fumes but if he doesn't rev up the engine his 153lbs ft of torque will be no match for your 217ft lbs of torque.
Those things are beastly fast if you know how to launch them, 5.3 zero to 60.

Re: 2000 GXE Maxima vs. 2001 Honda S2000
your car may ping. it's when the car's timing is too advanced for the grade of fuel being burned. the car actually makes a "ping" noise when you romp on the gas.

Re: 2000 GXE Maxima vs. 2001 Honda S2000
the piston will rattle inside the cylinder,that's what makes the pinging sound and i'm pretty sure it can cause scrapes and gashes. i'm not 100% on the actual physical damage it will do, but your car definitely won't be making full power.

Re: 2000 GXE Maxima vs. 2001 Honda S2000
The Maxima's VQ compression ratio is so high that it needs 91 in order to run that rate, that one of the reasons why the manual recommends 91.
If you put anything less than that, trust me you and your car will notice it.

Re: 2000 GXE Maxima vs. 2001 Honda S2000
1800-ish for the street. a little higher for a track.
