it wasn't really a full race but ill tell it.

i was going to get some food and i see this silver S2000 fly passed me going the other way.
i get into the turning lane and flip a bitch.
i see this guy driving his car at night all the time.
i get up to him and he has a lady with him.
he's probally around 40-50 years old.
the light was red when i pulled up.
i didn't think he was going to do anything but i guessed wrong.
light turns green and we take off normally driving slow.
we keep getting faster and i punch it around 20 and he does too.
i pull on him and we keep going.
i thought he was going to overtake me but it didn't happen.
i shift into second and land the cam.
i keep pulling on him very little.
i didn't gain much throughout this race.
it ended when i shifted to 3rd.
so probally around 65.
i was up a half a car at the end.
he didn't want to go anymore, i think.
i pulled on an S2000 and think i could of pulled some more in third.
i wish he kept going but o-well i got a 20-65mph race with one of these.
please dont say this didn't happen because i dont lie about this stuff.
also he had a passenger and i only weigh 120 pounds,hehe
all i have a 3rd gen injen cai.
you can definetly tell when he hit his lift in his car because the car jumps, it looks crazy.
i love those cars

Good kill. I've got to tell you, though.. He must have filled his up with swamp water instead of gas. I've put thousands of miles on both the 2000-model S2000 and the 2000-model Celica GT-S. After driving both, I can safely say that there's no way a stock GT-S is going to beat a stock S2000.

Dude, figure out the weight difference.
how much does the average guy weigh?
maybe 150( or more) plus his girl 120(?) pounds right.
i weigh 120 pounds and i definetly had a weight advantage.
my car has a 3rd gen injen cai also so its not stock.
you might think that doesn't help much but it really does(check out the dyno section).
i think its very possible to beat these cars with that kind of weight advatage.
also i only put a half a car on him very slowly so its not like i killed him by tons of cars.

i have both too.. theres NO WAY the stock GTS can take the prelude.. you can load it with 6 tons of asphalt (ok maybe not that much) but you'd need about 20% extra weight (maybe 600 lbs) to get it to actually make a diff.

i thought we were talking about an S2000???
With stock prelude an stock gts the gts would win...
why do you think that extra weigh doesn't do anything?
when you have an extra passenger in your car do you notice the difference in performance?
im just saying what happened.

I'm not saying this race didn't happen and the conclusion of it is false. Bit, like I've said before anything can happen in a street race, things are never equal.

As for your reasoning of weighing less. Well, the S2000 does not weight that much more. The S2000 I believe has more torque than you do all through out the power band. The S2000 has 3,000 RPMs of high lift cams to play with compared to your 2,000 RPMs. I believe what gave you the advantage was that you got the early jump and he wasn't prepared. Yes, the CAI does do pretty well for you guys, but it doesn't do well enough to beat every stock S2000 out there. Great run though

its all about the driver..i lost to my friends 2000 up eclipse i think he has a gt..but a stock gts should be able to take it right...

X-EVIL-X

11-09-2001, 01:45 PM

he had the extra passenger and yes he has more torque.
but if your caring an extra 140 pounds than me it would end up like this.
i didn't get a jump on him.
we started out slow and kept getting faster and we were dead even when we floored it at about 20.

awesome kill! someone mentioned being beat by a Eclipse GT..I got spanked by my buddies 2K Eclipse GT...we were on a high way at around 1:30-1:45am and he just kept pulling and pulling...heh.. Good kill, though..i love those short races! whats even better are the short races with cars you KNOW can beat you, but since you get the jump they get too frustrated to follow through and they let off early! those are the best!<IMG SRC="http://www.newcelica.org/ubb/smilies/cwm30.gif" border=0>

Good race!

Welp...the only thing that I can think of is that the "old guy" didn't realize that you were racing...or he was just toying with you! I mean...

your talking about 60 more horses, it weighs 2800lbs, higher redline, more tq...

It doesn't matter if you get a car on him...if he knew how to drive...the race would be over...

I'm not saying that it didn't happen...I'm just trying to see wtf was wrong with the guy...cuz I raced a gsr the other day with i/e/h and I just ran away from him...So I dunno...

he realized i was racing for sure!!!
i hit my lift and my intake screams like crazy at that point.
for the last time is he or i didn't get a jump on each other.
it was a dead even race at 20 up.
he stopped at 65 and backed off and never got close to me again.
you could tell when he hit 6k or whatever it is because the car jumped forward.
i dont see why this is so impossible
its not like you mess up that much after 20 anyway.
its the launch people have trouble with.

11-09-2001, 05:04 PM

how can you say that it's not that hard to believe...

like I said...60hp difference...higher rpms...more tq...not that much weight difference (2800lbs for the stook)...

That's almost like saying that a GT beat a GT-S...then saying that it's not impossible... http://www.newcelica.org/ubb/smile.gif

Ya know...and if it "jumped foward" at 6000rpms...then why didn't it "jump past" you then?

Older folks aren't exactly known for their shifting skills. When you drive an S2000, knowing how to shift fast and accurately is the key. This guy was uh...granny shifting for sure, and you made it a close race. Congrats for that.

Even with the weight difference, if he actually knew how to whip his S2000, your ass would have been grass.

I ran a GT-S with an extra passenger in my Si and the GT-S still beat me, although not by as much as if he didn't have another passenger, but the difference in weight didn't matter too much. Like someone said before, it would take more than a 600lbs difference to matter in that race.

End of the story.

luv2rev

11-09-2001, 05:53 PM

very good point...

the rpm's in the s2000 fall like nothing I have ever driven at all...I can power shift the hell outta it...and the rpms will still fall from 9000 to around the 7000 mark...and it's not just me with this problem...its other people...

when shifting regularly...it will drop to around 6500...now imagine a older man driving...

Did you notice how he "jumped foward" every time he hit 6000rpms? Well...that's your answer right there...he didn't stay in the powerband! He would shift...fall...lose ground...then hit the powerband...get up next to you...shift...and it would happen again...

Just like kleef said...imagine driving a GTS vs GT...if the person in the GTS didn't know how to stay in the powerband...it would be a close race...

I'm not saying that it didn't happen...cuz I believe you...but dont expect the same results when you come across someone that can shift...that's all... http://www.newcelica.org/ubb/smile.gif

haha this is funny
it jumped forward, yes.
we were going, and it was even, and me and him floored it. then he hit the 6k mark and jumped out, so he was ahead of me(not by much) once that happened in 1st gear.
after that i slowely started pulling on him at the top of 1st and 2nd.
it ended me up me a half of car length at 65 when i shifted into 3rd and he backed down.
haha

I believe it. The reason why is that the first two gears (esp. on 6-speed trannies) are very short, and very little time is spent in those gears. It's all about cutting a slick clean shift at the right points. Third gear is usually where it starts becoming less driver and more about the car, as the power/weight ratio starts showing itself. 4th gear and up (ie. highway races), it's all car -- very little driver skill involved. GR!

yea CheezeFrog,
i wish he kept going because i wanted to see what our cars can do in 3rd compaired to an S2k.
i think ill see him again, he drives his car around at night alot.
he seemed like he shifted fine but i wasn't paying to much attention during my 1-2 shift.
so those cars have 3000rpm's to deal with in the lift?
so if he shifted slower and landed around 6500 he would still be in it, correct?
it seems like its a lot harder to stay on the second cam on a gts than a S2000.

what do those cars Dyno at - hp and Tq figures please if anyone could post a slip

Alright...lemme see if I get this now...

~You were even at 20mph...each of you punched it...and he pulled on you...then you started to pull on him and passed him? Something is wrong with that statement!!!!

The guy didn't know how to drive...period...end of discussion...the gt-s (fastest I have seen) runs 14.8 in the 1/4...and the fastest S2000 runs a 13.6 (over at www.s2ki.com)...so (http://www.s2ki.com)...so) the fact that you were even...he pulled...then you pulled past him doesn't make much sense to me.

Now...I am not saying that it didn't happen...but don't expect it to happen when you meet up with someone that can drive!

Oh...and btw cheeze...lets not forget that the GT-S is also a 6speed...thnx!!!! <IMG SRC="http://www.newcelica.org/ubb/smilies/cwm13.gif" border=0>

see...u just answered the question...

he pulled on you when he hit his cam...well he must've kept falling out of the cam then...cuz otherwise there wouldn't have been neway that you could have pulled on him...ya know?

Like I said...I'm not saying that its not possible that u beat him...he just didn't know how to drive...that's all! That's all I am saying...and not to expect it every time you come across the S2000!

And...the people saying that it is possible...even with someone that knows how to drive their car...get real! A Celica GT can beat a GT-S if the driver didn't know how to drive and kept falling out of the cam...!!!!

Judging from your screenname I must assume you aren't exactly young.

Ooooops....

Sorry dude.

I didn't mean to offend you, but when I see an old man driving a sports car, unless it's Mario Andretti or the likes, I wouldn't expect them to outdrive me. It's not that they don't know how to drive, but they have more restraint, and will not push their car to the limits just to hold off some bozo in a Celica.

It's because a lot of old fools can't drive for beans. that's why!
How do u think the words "granny shifting", "you drive like your gradma" came about.
Obvious a young person will be better fit for performance driving than an old person. As people age, their reaction time decreases, therefore senior citizens drive so far back making a good enough cushion behind the cars in front.
You are lucky oldster if you still can drive well and have good reaction time. You should be commended for it.

Can't drive for beans eh..........as in don't get stopped for running from cops or something else equally stupid. Why is it obvious that a younger person is more fit for performance driving? While relexes are important I would put more emphasis on skill which is not limited to the young.

Are you using the reaction time as in drag racing? Unless you are running off a pro tree physical reaction time doesn't mean squat. When running a full tree, i.e. .5 lights, all you have to know is what your reaction time is and leave on the appropriate light. In short your response reinforces my already low opinion of your logic and deductive reasoning skills.

Sincerely,

Oldster

PS - History lesson - Granny shifting came from the use of non-synchronized transmissions in trucks where you had to double clutch to shift. The granny part came from first gear which was extremely low and slow and was not normally use except in rough terrain or pulling.

i think it all depends on the driver.
have you ever watched speedvision where the drivers are old except for a few people.
im talking about the gt cars and those type race.
i dont think it matters if your young or 40, if you can drive you can drive.

Actually I would think of 40 as being young. Talk about a guy who has the skills etc. Paul Newman.

"In 1977, he finished fifth in the 24 Hours of Daytona, and two years later co-drove a Porsche 935 to second place in the 24 Hours of LeMans. Newman earned his first Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) national title in 1976 in the D-Production category, and followed that with the C-Production class championship in 1979. He was GT-1 champion in both 1985 and 1986."

When he won in 1986 he would have been 61, pretty impressive.:)

damn, you know your sh*t
like i said it doesn't matter your age.
i really didn't mean 40, i just said that as an age i thought those guys looked.
what is the oldest you think where your driving skills starts to go down(55 to 60+)?

I think that would be very driver specific. We are a very adaptable species, when we start slowing down physically we compensate in other ways. The bad thing is I think I read somewhere that men peak in their early twenties (could be wrong) then you start the slide. Like Newman, were his skills as sharp at 60, 65, 70? Probably not but still good enough to win.

"His racing career spans from his first event in 1972 at Thompson, Conn., in a Lotus Elan until his most recent victory -- the Rolex 24-Hours of Daytona on February 5, 1995 -- in which he and his co-drivers won the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) GTS-class. He was 70 years and 10 days old when he scored this grueling and historic victory. Newman competed in select races in 1997 including a GTS race in Lime Rock, Conn. on May 26, where he started third in a Ford Panoz and finished second. He also drove in a historic sports car race in Daytona, Fla. on October 5. He competed in a one-hour endurance race as well as a sprint car race."

the light was red when i pulled up.
i didn't think he was going to do anything but i guessed wrong.
light turns green and we take off normally driving slow.
we keep getting faster and i punch it around 20 and he does too.
i pull on him and we keep going.
i thought he was going to overtake me but it didn't happen.
i shift into second and land the cam.
i keep pulling on him very little.
i didn't gain much throughout this race.
it ended when i shifted to 3rd.
so probally around 65.
i was up a half a car at the end.
he didn't want to go anymore, i think.
i pulled on an S2000 and think i could of pulled some more in third.
i wish he kept going but o-well i got a 20-65mph race with one of these.
please dont say this didn't happen because i dont lie about this stuff.
also he had a passenger and i only weigh 120 pounds,hehe
all i have a 3rd gen injen cai.
you can definetly tell when he hit his lift in his car because the car jumps, it looks crazy.
i love those cars

lets put it this way, we took my GTS out for a spin, and he was impressed, then we took his S2000 out, and holy ****, that baby smokes.

When he steps on the gas, the throws you in the seat at 3000RPM instead of 6000 like in the celica.
The S200 redlines at 9000, and the S2000 weighs less and has mouch more whp then our cars.
He was an old fart messin with you....he was smart by not finishing you off and possibly getting a ticket or arrested.

The guy didn't know how to drive...period...end of discussion...the gt-s (fastest I have seen) runs 14.8 in the 1/4...and the fastest S2000 runs a 13.6 (over at www.s2ki.com)...so (http://www.s2ki.com)...so) the fact that you were even...he pulled...then you pulled past him doesn't make much sense to me.

Now...I am not saying that it didn't happen...but don't expect it to happen when you meet up with someone that can drive!

Oh...and btw cheeze...lets not forget that the GT-S is also a 6speed...thnx!!!! <IMG SRC="http://www.newcelica.org/ubb/smilies/cwm13.gif" border=0>

*Run What You Brung...And Hope You Brung Enuff!!!*

Hey, did anyone actually go to that s2000 site?? Nice post over there Luv2rev. Coming here acting like one of the guys.. and then pretty much laughing at us somewhere else... interesting.

No one on here said that they "handed it" to an s2000... and yet over there you're trying to make us look like fools. Too bad some over your buddies over there sound dummer than some celica owners. (eg. keeping up with a c5)

You know what.. When you say "run what ya brung".. I'd really love to see what you actually do bring.. cause I don't even think you have your s2000.. You were once a strong member of this site.. and now you go off turning on where u came from. You just come off like some backstabbing kid who's full of BS. But then again.. thats how I felt about u even when you had one of our "slow inferior" celica's...

Have a nice day.. :D

The truth is often harsh, as I'm sure your well aware of. But I can see that you are also well aware of my point... :cool:

If I were you, i'd post a message on the regional section of the S2k forums and ask to meet up with someone that lives near ya.

Otherwise, you might have to wait a long time before you encounter one by chance.

I've had my ride for over half a year and still havent found a damn Si to race.

I don't think that would be very productive. We know that the cars ran those times. What would be the point in trying to press it? I am more concerned or irratated by who and why the whole thing started over there to begin with. I put a short post over there but am not going near the performance issues, no way to win in that one.
