A friend from my gym has a 2007 AP2 s2000. He has a "full straight through exhaust from the headers" (he means a headerback exhaust), "3000 bucks Clubsport coilovers", a K&N panel filter and Bridgestone re050a tyres.
I have Takeda intake, Perrin pulley, Borla UEL and a Unichip running on Takeda map and 92 octane map with Fuel - Timing + map on stock Michelin tires.
When the gym closed at 10pm, i told him to race me at this very long deserted industrial road not far from the gym because i was curious to see how my car fares against his.
We both agreed at a 5k rpm launch. At takeoff, im about half a front fender in front of him. Just before 2-3 shift, he starts pulling and im about half a front fender length behind him. It stays this way until about 160kmh (100mph) when we both slow down.
The 2nd time, i screwed up my launch and launched at 2.5k and he beat me by his car's length.
The 3rd time, was the same as the first time.
The 4th time, he screwed up his launch and i beat him by half my car's length.
Basically, my car beats his from 0 - 50mph (or so). And his beats mine from 60mph to whatever our speed limits are.
I'm very happy with how I went up against his. Loving my car even more
I'm now thinking about getting a Jap Spec AP1 s2000 that has 248hp, just to thrash around
