Guest comeandzpa Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 i have to admit that i was smoked in my car for the 1st time yesterday. granted it was only like my 4th challenge, but my totally stock 3-spd auto 81 280ZX holds up well against the following: 2001 VW cabrio Some punk in a 96 chevy beretta 1989 Dodge Dakota sport However, i was driving the other day and experienced the following: As i pass a car while doing 25 over er, i mean 5 over the speed limit, i heard a LOUD hum. It turned out to be a new honda s2000. I noticed this 30 seconds later when i caught up w/ him when he got stuck in traffic ahead. It was sad- i was doing 80 up a hill, and he was losing me at an astronomical rate. So, if a guy in an s2000 challenges you to a race and you have no upgrades, dont accept!! (PS- i tracked the guy down later that night and he turned out to be a big z fan, and he just wanted to give me a doseage of reality) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Catch him on a tight canyon road where he has troubling winding up that little guy or keeping it in the right gear and he'll get a dose of torque reality. They're great cars, but unless the Vtec is singing, they've got no torque. Would I want one, sure, if anyones giving one away, let me know I'll send the address to ship it to.

Owen Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Just don't get a first gen/first production lot one, unless you want to find synchro shavings in your tranny! Ahh, the joys of working at Honda Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
