with a super charger i think i would vote on him winning cause what i know about S2k's which isn't much but he should be pushin 350-400hp know. But if he sucks at driving it might not matter

just do it!!!
him rubbin it in that he beat you is much better than him rubbin it in that you backed out of a race.
S2000 SC wont be that fast, but if you have a healthy stock car it should be a good race.

The s2000 from the fast and the furious was one of the first supercharged s2ks. It has 350 hp. That guy spent retarded money on that car. I doubt the one your buddy has, has as much power as that one. They put out approx. 200 to the ground stock. Say he has 275 to the wheels now..you have about 220-230 at the ground and the cars weigh about the same...you lose.

Two of the big ones, and you need them by tonight. Can he drive for ****? How bad did you beet him last time because the S2000 is supposed to run a 13.9 and you are supposed to run between a 13.6-13.9 so if you kicked his *** last time then maybe you still have a chance because you are probably the better driver. Race him.

Go for it! If he wants to give you **** for beating you, you can take the wind out of his sails by reminding him you were stock. If you win, you can rub his face in the fact that his "tricked" s2k just got smacked down by your stock RX.

If he just put the s/c on, he probably hasn't become acclimated to the additional power down-low. He'll probably spin through first and second gear. So give it a shot. And if he does win and wants to start talking smack about rx7s, give me a hollar. I'll drive up from West Palm and put his cute little s2k in its place.

I don't know much about superchargers but when I put a larger single on my old GSX I had to break it in a little before I ran the hell out of it. You say he just got it but how many miles of driving does he have behind the wheel of it now? I agree with Lost_Time that he will more than likely make an idiot out of himself and sit and spin while you go a few cars up on him. He is going to kill his clutch with that much extra HP unless the S2000's have decent clutches in them.

A stock FD - bah!!! As earlier stated, get a dp and exhaust and you'll beat him. I don't think you'll be able to pull him on the highway with his Comptech. I've been over to the S2K forum and some of them run 275-305 rwhp with their S/Cs but can still only manage low to high 13s even with the S/C. I'd race him from a stop (even with you stock) and hope he either bogs or spins. Stock FDs are easy to launch so I actually think you have a chance to beat him. Get some mods and you'll run circles around him.
