I can tell you as the owner of two S2000s (AP1) with simple bolt-ons and an FRS with header+cat-back+tune I would have thought for sure the FRS would win in a drag race due to the area under the curve advantage the boxer has. But I drag raced a friend in his bone stock, high mileage AP2 (slight bump in tq I know) several times from dig, roll, didn't matter, he JUST had me beat every time by a car length or two...more the faster we went. Similar tires, I using "Launch Control" (ECUtek) he wingin' it of course. Really surprised me. I think the weight difference was the determining factor though.
