S2K - camaro SS

I really didn't expect this to happen. We went from a role at 75mph. I jumped 2/3 of a car on him from the get go and then we stayed even to 100... Not sure if they make those SS in automatic. Either way I was shocked to see the results. I knew the S2K was quick but I didn't think I had a shot!

Thoughts? Typically I don't think a driver makes too much of a difference from a role so I can only assume that it was an automatic or the guy didn't know to take off at the third honk???

The S2000's biggest weakness in drag-racing is the launch, due to the lack of low-end.

Once rolling, however, and in the powerband, it can hang with many cars that would usually kill it in the quarter.

In your case, I am going to assume it was an LT1 you ran. Did it have recessed headlights?

meaning the headlights fold in and out? It did not appear that way. It was White with a black top, a red SS badging on the back and quad exhuast. Does that help? it looked like the 96 style camaro.

Re: S2K - camero SS

wouldn't launching at a high rpm give the s2k a good launch? I don't want to start a big hp vs torque discussion but there are alot of high power civics and rx-7s that launch at high rpms and run very quickly.

Re: S2K - camero SS

If the throttle was held right about when Vtec kicks in, and it was feathered at launch, and of course the driver of the Camaro sucked, then yes I would believe.
