S2000 with a high 14 in the quarter and 6.3 secs to 60? I've done a search with no returns unfortunately.
Thanks, B

 

From what I've heard and researched there were no signifigant improvements from 2002 to 2003, other than minor cosmetic ones. I have an '03 and my friend has an '01 and we're pretty even if not dead on the same.

 

the only differences is the speakers and the rear window from plastic to glass

 

must have been the weight of the glass rear window that slowed the car down

 

hahaha

 

haha.

Who knows? Just get gears and it'll pickup that 0-60 time.

 

The difference is the driver they got to test it that year sucked.

 

I agree, my 03 is slow....like it needs a turbo.

 

Didn't they do some cosmetic changes as well as the rear window? I don't think internally anything changed.

Do any of you 2003's have any approximate curb weights?

 

Changes have been covered like 1,000,000 times before, so lets not go into that. Curb weight ~2800 as I recall.

 

If you're worried about quarter mile and 0-60 times I have no idea why you're looking at an s2000.

They also added some chrome rings around the tail lights.

 

The magazine editor got more fat due to more minivan cupholder shoot out articles.

Driver variation, dude. Not to mention track or condition variation. No two runs are the same.

You should be able to run high 13s stock, though.

 

x2

 

those were first on the 02

 

He launched at 4k and had to wait the extra second for the torque monster to get spooled up. Seriously, if you don't launch it at 6k and feather the clutch you're going to be in the 14s....maybe 15s to be dead honest. If I'm in 1st gear at 1500rpms and stomp it, I believe it takes around 15 seconds to get into 2nd.

 

^^^ agreed. i raced a s2k boltons to boltons. he launched it around 6k. i launched at 5ish (maybe lower) i wasnt ready... but it was a VERY BIG difference, cause i spun the tires, then it bogged really bad. the other guy, raped me.

 

ahhhhhhhhhhh it fast enough for met to get from home to work

 

I launch my 2000 s2k at 6,500 or 7,000 it spins the wheels once or twice but doesn't bog and launch's really well.

 

2 rear tires ... 300 dollars
new differential ... 1500 dollars
the look on your face when it breaks from launching... PRICELESS

 

I really didnt understand what everone was talking breaking diffs for...and then I looked under my car I think my old 4 wheeler has a bigger diff....

 

Spinning the tires on a launch puts less strain on the drive train then bogging the car and having the tires catch. Hooking up when you dump the clutch im sure is a big jolt to the drive train

 

LOLOLOLOL!! I Smoked the other night, hopped in to go to the store (go figure right?), and thought the same thing. Could have read a novel before 3rd

 

all s2k's are turds.

unless they are 01' silverstones ;-)
