    I just saw the new GT40 and it is gorgeous I want one but they aren't making many, and the first 100 are already booked

        What year NSX do those stats represent? NA or boosted?
        Well, there is a special technique to drag racing the s2000.

        I talk to people when I watch races at the dragstrip. The ones who know that you need to launch at very high rpm with the s2000 were running high 14's. The morons, who don't deserve the s2000's are running 15's, sometimes even 16's.

        The nsx is the second gen motor, 1995+, when they bumped the engine .2 litre for a 20 horsepower increase.

          well, you'd kinda figure the s2000 would need higher rpms... What would be the ideal launch rpm for the s2000?

          also, if someone is driving an s2000 and runs 15-16's then they should be disgraced because a nissan maxima 2000 and up could beat it.

            yeah and the new honda accord runs 14's like the maxima.

            an ideal rpm sounds high..... but its where the powers at. 6000+ rpm. Yes, it hurts your tranny, thats why...... you don't drag race your s2000 :o

            Anyways, s2000's with speedcraft turbos.... I think the company went out of business sadly..... the cars that had the turbo installed ran 12's (which is effen nice) and they did it on the stock motor.

            It's not safe, knowing how much the stock motor is pushing it, at 120 hp/litre

                  uhh..... you make me wonder sometimes footemps.

                  Why would it be funky for a s2000 to drift race?

                  It's like a hachi-roku, refined to the max.

                  50/50 weight distribution like hachi roku, inline 4 (but actually revs high for power)

                  I even have videos of s2000's drift racing, and they do quite well. give it time and you will see it more.

                          Actually, the 2002's are 310 horse. Which is still really nice!

                            Also I would have to say that my other dream car is a specific one, I mean has specific as the serial number has to be exact. When my dad was 17 or 18 he was working on the GM assembly line, his job was to drive out the cars and park them in the parking lot. Well he drove the second 1957 Chevy bel aire off the line and into his parents garage (he bought it before he drove it home hehehe). It was a turquoise color two door hardtop, (no metal between the mirrors). I think it had the 258 motor, but I might be off. Well later he joined the army and was stationed in Germany, he had a choice sell the car and hope he can buy it when he got back, or keep it in a rental garage until one day when he got home. Since he was going to Vietnam after Germany he decided to sell it (not knowing if he was coming back or not). Well he made it back and tried to buy it back from the guy but the guy wouldn't sell it. So if some how I came across that car I would put all the money down that I could on it, just to see his face when i drive up the driveway and hand him the keys.

                              I've worked on a 4 door 57 hardtop, made it into a 2 door convertable. That was pretty impressive.
