A tale of a Horsey and a Comptech Supercharged S2000

Nemesis · 04-24-2008, 12:51 PM

So being around the Atlanta area I get to see a lot of nice hooked up cars, some not so nice, but you get the point.

On my way back from lunch today I have a Yellow S2k pull next to me. Im just chilling in the left lane and he looks over and I look over as well. He has the top down looking all GQ with his Work wheels. He asks me how fast my car is, I just say its alright but shes fat and she moves pretty slow. He takes the bait and in a smart ass way goes, "Im sorry". I just think , yeah IM sorry you lack this thing called torque. I then ask him what he has done, and he goes "comptech supercharged, arc this ARC that... blah blah blah. So he has some nice things done to it, not the usual egay junk. I ask em if he wants to do a pull to the speed limit. He goes fine! So we wait till the light turns green. I rev up and he does as well. We both take off, and I pull a car by 30mph, and finally pull about 3-4 lengths EASY at about 60+ .

Guess he needed to put more vtec fluid in this morning.

Sucks to put 5000+ into a supercharger and still have only 310ish at the crank

The S2000 is a Driver's car... If you suck at launching and driving, there is no saving grace.

In the stang, if you blow the launch, the car won't bog horrifically and the engine's ability to create low end grunt will get you going. You also may have "optimal" shift points, but if you get near them you are still ok. The S2000 has like darn near specific shift points that if you miss you will drop out of the power band and lose the vehicle.

I remember when the S2000's came out and they did 0-60 and 0-100 pulls at all different RPM's and shift points and the times were crazy. There were 0-60 pulls that were over 10sec... Drive them right and you got it... don't know how to drive, and he has a 16sec car...

Either way... the 0-60 vs the 0-XXX qare very different on the high revving motor in there.

Either way... he should've dropped a turbo in there...

Ok... I need sleep...
