take off your p/s belt.
weight reduction

edit: you still wont beat him unless he's not that good of a driver. but those are free

Do you think your friend is out there on an S2000 board, asking the same questions? "My friend has an ITR, how can I be sure I hand him his ***?" and so forth.

There will always be someone faster than you.

Deal with it.

50 shot of NX should put him in his place nicely.

From what I've heard, the S2000 is very hard to launch. You might be able to take him with your stock ITR.

JDM 4-1 with full 2.5" exhaust, cam gears, VAFC, FPR (maybe), some weight reduction, and getting it tuned very well would be one way. Another way to beat him would be to invite him to the grocery store, fill the ITR with a keg, 300 cups, 3 bags of ice, and 5 cans of pringles, and then take 3 girls home with you.

Best advice for you is to detach your ego from your car. Spending money to be faster than so and so is only a bottomless pit. Someone will ALWAYS own a faster car than you because someone always has more money than you. Spend your time becoming a better driver if that's your game. If you take away the car you'll still have your skills.

Furthermore, trying to be faster than everybody is only going to make you more likely to crash your car, get tickets, get dead, etc.

But to answer your original question, forced induction is probably the easiest way to gain speed. A supercharger will more than likely give you the speed you speak of.

Take your cat off, remove PS belt, and learn how to drive. That should pretty much do it 1/4mi wise.

Park an E46 M3 next to your R. When it comes time to race, take the Bimmer, youll hand him his ***.
