Can't get an S2000 to race.

I think it was Motor Trend that took a bunch of cars out and beat the hell out of them trying to get good 1/4 mile times. The S2000 managed to pull off a 13.9, but they said they had to slip the clutch out from 6000rpms and shift at redline to get it to do it.

They said when they shifted at something like 5500rpms or 6000, the 0-60 time went into the 11's.

So yes, it's possible for a person who know's what they are doing to get them into the 13's, a few times before the clutch is roasted beyond recognition.

What's wrong with shifting at redline if your car is still making power there? And about the 0-60 with the 5500 shift, of course it is going to be slower!! If you shift any car before it's powerband, it is going to take longer to get to 60....
