Video....

By the way, 281kmh is equal to 175mph. Watch the vid to see why you need to know that....

Mmmm... the engine sounds like sweet 4-cylinder. Can't believe he got away with that... at sunset. He's literally racing the sun.

DAMN!!! Did you see how fast he flew by those trucks? Jees, those guys must have been freaking out. I only wish I could go that fast. I guess i will have to stick to 112 MPH until i figure out how to kill my speed limiter. Haha. Great movie! Way to go S2000man01.

- Not saying you are full of it or anything, but all civics for years have come with both rev limiters to keep you from redlining your engine too far, and speed limiters. My DX speed limiter goes to 114mph, my friend's 2000Ex goes to about 119mph.

The 350Z pricing starts at $26800 and moves up from there. Pretty good deal I think.

I would always choose the RWD car vs the FWD. For that type of money, it is much better to go with a low end 350Z. Or get a WRX with some left over money for a set of wheels and springs.

i believe the stock top speed of the s2k is 155 so obviously some goodies have been done to it so that top speed got boosted to ~175

Yeah 155..but so is the stock 350Z... but I think that the Z is a quicker car... 287 hp stock...244 to the wheels. For less at 27k. Plus I don't really like convertibles.

Actually it's not. My S2k is stock, and I've seen 162mph on my speedo. Honda says it's "supposed" to be limited to 150mph. But trust me, there is NO limiter on our cars at all. That thing will go til you hit the rev limiter in 6th gear if you can get there.

No. It's really not. It's a driver's race all the way between the two cars. (in straightline that is) However, the Z will hit lower times more consistently due to it's low end torque.

I don't understand, some dude goes 70 in a 35 and most of you guys rip his **** a new one (In reference to a thread earlier this week). This guy does 4 times that and everyone is giving mad props. What if one of the trucks had went to pass the other or switch lanes? Your car is mad fast but it doesn't make you smart. Leave that shiite at the track.

I got my ex up to 134 according to the needles and that is stock on level ground. The limiter only kicks in after you hit the red line. Not before. I was 4 clicks away from the red line and the car just wouldn't go any faster. The engine was roaring though.

There seems to be a misconception in the posts.

The person driving the S2k is not me. And it's not my S2k. I live in wisconsin... this guy lives in Canada.

I personally would NOT do what he did. I have hit 162 before, but no traffic on either side of the freeway.

And I would NEVER do it again.
