Rep Power: 401

you're right you didn't. i did a search on some srt4 forums to see what people had spent to get into 500whp reliably.

s2000man, chime in.

in the long run, turbo or SC can get you faster than gears will. you will get a certain speed with gears, but a turbo or SC can get you more in the long run.

the neon will respond better to bolt ons, because yes, the S2000 is pretty wrung out. however, there are 300whp S2000's running around (that's 100whp over stock) that are N/A. it's mostly with ECU work, like the mugen ecu. but again, the neon will do better since it already has the turbo.

as for your 350z vs S2k, don't blame a car for a shitty driver. you can argue with me all you want, but the bottom line is both the 350Z and S2000 are capable of about a 13.7 in the 1/4/ mile. my350z.com forums will more than prove that. the cars are literally so close in 1/4 mile speed it's hardly discernable if one has an advantage over the other.

and as for $300 4.77 gears, point your friend here

Its been proven time and time again, that on a Road course or autocross the 350Z is not compeditive vs the S2000 (Stock Vs stock)

^^^ umm, you don't know what im talking about, s2000man does. This goes back to a previous thread me and him talked in. Ive also said in that thread that the s2000 is a better track car.

Thanks for the link, but no warranty on the part = . Also, that race w/ the s2000 vs. 350z was from a roll on the HWY.

regardless of what that race was on or where or whatever, the person driving the S2000 couldn't drive and was probably short shifting. you'd be amazed how shitty people can drive.

i myself have a friend who has a 350Z that is stock. we've raced so many times it's not even funny. We have done countless freeway runs including runs from about 70mph to 135mph. and we are DEAD EVEN THE ENTIRE WAY.

so no, a 350Z vs a supercharged S2k is not an even match. again, dont blame the car for some incompetent fool who shifts at 7000rpm or whatever he was doing. the 2 cars in stock form are dead even. a supercharged S2k should easily walk away from a 350Z in any way shape or form.

i've seen a Z06 vette run a 13.9, but does that mean I can go around on forums and say "an S2000 is as fast as a Z06 vette" ? no, it doesn't.

also, warranty on the part for the gears. lol. it's an aftermarket part. you're not going to get a warranty for an aftermarket part like gears unless you pay for it. some gear companies may offer a 1 year type deal (like the 4.57 gears) but that only warranties the gear. you're biggest concern at that point is not that you've got no warranty for your 4.77 gears but that you've voided any drive train warranty you had on the car. lol.
