~2800lbs curb weight depending upon fluid levels. SC'd 1/4 times are extremely variable. Esp. since most any one with an SC doesn't dare launch their S2000 out of fear of damaging the rear end of the car. Without modifying the rear end, these are track/autox cars, not dragsters.

? What makes the S2G's rear end so week or is it just to mutch power for it to handle a 4K clutchdump. What can be done to make it stronger any kits out there?

Most S2000 owners are droping the clutch at 7000 - 8000 RPM. Anything lower than this will glaze the clutch (at least in an OEM situation).

The GSR also has shorter axles, and doesn't come from the factory with a LSD. In addtion, a proper launch in an S2000 would use 6500rpm at the minimum. The car was in no way shape or form designed to perform drag launches.

GSR- Front wheel drive, on a lauch all weight is transferred to the rear of the car, which means less weight on the front tires... which results in wheel spin

S2K - Rear wheel drive, on a launch, weight is transferred to the rear tires, but since it is RWD, lots of stress on the driveline.


Its almost like doing a 4000rpm clutch dump into reverse with your gsr.... try it, you'll understand why still will break

actually, the S2000 bogs down at 3500rpm. Even 5000 could call for a bog. If yo ureally want to launch the S2000, you have to drive it like you stole it.
