The 350Z I can see avery easily and if the s2000 was stock I can also see...

But a turbo S2000 is just too much for a "20hp" over stock v6 camaro.
The camaro is heavy for 300 bhp. It's an amazing car for the money with a very advanced motor but come on, it ain't the fastest thing since sliced bread...

In my opinion and with the facts presented I think a Camaro LT can take a stock S2000

"Fortunately, the S2000 now accelerates quicker. It pulls to 100 mph in 15.10 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds quicker than before. And there's also an improvement in roll-on acceleration, the kind of performance you feel on the street, because it accelerates 0.18 seconds quicker to 70 mph from 50 mph. Before the clutch went, we also measured a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.4 seconds and a quarter-mile run of 14.4 seconds at 97.2 mph, which are also quicker."

That was a pretty horrid reaction and overall driving from the Shelby (15.22 @ 97) lol obvious from the MPH the Shelby should be a good deal ahead (91 mph vs 97 mph). He should be a good 5-6 cars ahead! lol

good kill.

I might have to agree with The Evil Twin. He's usually right

Yep... absolutely... we were all hanging out together and when Scott with the Shelby GT got to the pits we let him have it... we were merciless... I was dancing around with the timeslip.. Scott got taken down by a 100% stock V6 Camaro!!!! He was an absolutely great sport about it.. he knew he spun like crazy off the line (2.5 60'!!!!)...

It was all in good fun!!! He redeemed himself later in the day!

Oh, he is 100% right... R/T isn't figured in the ET though... so my car still beat him ET-wise by .002!!! LOL! It just looked like my car was winning by a lot more than it real was, time wise, due to the .562 difference in R/Ts...

sh!t happens. I've done a 1-2-5 shift at track..... twice lol. The car still ran 13.9 @ 104 (I was only at ~400 rwhp at the time) I got rid of the sloppy stock shifter and bought a real shifter after that day!

Slip from today... disappointed about the ET... guessing the headwind (20MP with 32MPH gust) was killing me! This was in Sport mode, TC on and basically leaving from idle... trying to launch any hard just ended up spinning... argh!
