S2Ks usually run very low 14s and trap around 99 or 100. On a very rare ocassion I'm sure an S2k could run a 13.9 with ideal conditions. Usually 0-60 is mid 5s, Russell you really need better souces for your info.

On average most S2000s I have seen, most had just an intake up at the track were running about 14.3@99. The thing about the S2000's is similar to the RX8 is the torque curve, if you don't execute the 8000RPM launch perfectly, the 1/4 times get really ugly. I seen a guy in an S2000 launch at 4000RPMs and ran a 14.9@97. You don't have much room for mistakes when you have under 140ft-lb of torque.
Its very hard to get consistant good times with a high reving, low tq car without LOTS of practice.

Not sure if you havn't noticed but I was not comparing anything. Just giving a reference. And its absolutly no secrect that S2k's are running what I said and nobody doubts it but you.
And as far as 350z's go, CAI's have been known to reduce HP. A guy I seen at the track many times with his stock Z were running 14.1-14.17 bets all day. Then he installed an intake and couldn't get better then a 14.25 in nearly exact conditions.

Blu350z, Not sure if you noticed, this whole thread has been about stock RX-8 1/4 mile times. Until you and your trolling buddies started quoting modded 1/4 mile times of other cars that are faster.
I am reading the posts, and trying to weed through your off topic BS is getting old.

I call anything thats been modified, especially to the engine, no longer stock. I also consider that an autox is run on a track. Sorry if my perceptions on these issues do not match yours and Ikes precise model. Which we have all found out makes anyone, or anything outside your model, wrong. Your shallow and tunneled vision is what makes you unable to understand why we all like the RX-8 for what it is. Your right, its not an S2000, a WRX, or a 350Z, which we all had a chance to try before choosing the RX-8.
Know nothing about cars, your the one drag racing and doesn't know how to speed shift, afraid he might blow-up his car. Speed shifting bogs down your brain too, I guess. Anything outside your realm of understanding shouldn't bog down your brain, get a check-up.

Again, who is the slow one. Because it didn't take me nearly that long to come to the same conclusion about you.
Exactly how many Z's did you blu? 350?

DON'T WANT TO ARGUE WITH ANYONE by posting my result...
I did a street accurate quarter mile.
Had a cop friend with radar gun.
Launched close to 8000rpm
At the line I hit 1st run 96mph, 2nd=99mph, 3rd=98mph.
All I can give are how fast I'm going no time though

good speeds. colder temps? no mods? what octane? if you could replicate on a track with times it'd be really impressive! I had thought about marking off some pavement near a small airport where I live and do the same - but it seems that even being off 100' would make a big difference. So would a deer with bad timing.

ya it was a cool weather like mid 50s. I don't have any mods on it yet. I use 92 octane.
Hehehe a warning! no he just wanted to see what this RX8 can do, so I proved it to him.
I really don't know what these speeds would be clocking. Hopefully lows.
