2) "Launch" control on a car of this power level is just ridiculous, unnecessary and won't be faster than doing it yourself
3) Given this car's power level stickier tires will make little if no difference whatsoever (1-2 tenths)
4) Manufacturer's quoted performance times are ALWAYS conservative. ALWAYS
5) If a 1993 Integra GS-R with 160hp can hit 60 in 6.5 seconds this damn well better be faster. (see Car and Driver's test of this vehicle for reference if you don't believe it)
My guess is 5.7-5.9 for the manual, assuming 60 mph can be reached in 2nd gear. Given the low torque nature of this engine expect published times to be all over the place. I've seen S2000 0-60 times quoted from 4.9 to 6.7.

WOW 5.7? I am with you...I think it is possible. Of all the videos I have seen of this car..it does not look slow. And the gearing looks perfect and it revs fast!
