Na, me and Zinx raced on the way back and we were dead even up to 140. I got a pull in with the S2K and it was the same result as Jon. Put a few cars on him. The S2K guy got it on video, but wont give it up.

maybe a few...I'd search, but their search feature is useless.
their kills section is like ours. Some cool guys and a bunch of idiots screaming "Teh S2000 can't loooz"
maybe not in so many words, but they view the 8 as a piece of ****(lol) and the MX-5 as well. I've even had a guy(in the RX-8 thread) tell me that RX-7s are slow...
some people have too much pride.

Not my kill to post. 
Rage, who are you on s2ki?
oooo, my (least) favorite quote from here...
the guy makes 378whp...I could beat him with my stock twins, and I know there are some really mean bridge ported, single turbo FDs in Florida..idk wtf he's been racing. maybe Probes or Escorts.

Also about the guy who said to pick on its older more powerful brother. I do that all the time. When the playing field is level and everyone is turbo even the rx-7 has problems keeping up. But even stock for stock, when i have ran the FD, it was still real close and unless it was maticulasly maintained i could usually come out on top.

This race actually happened a few weeks ago, i just forgot to post it here and looking at the lack of good kills in here lately, i'm glad i remembered.
The S2000, is an awesome car. Extremely clean. Running a GT35R, he had C16 in the tank but i'm not sure how much boost he was running, probably high 20s. He made 554 rwhp on the dyno, but i don't think he was making it the night we raced, unless i magically gained 50 HP. My setup is in the vBGarage and I was on Pump gas and around 22 psi on the second pull.
On the first pull, i had my boost set too high and it went way rich, i still pulled about a car on him from about 70 to 140 (3rd and 4th).
On the second pull, i turned the boost down 10% where it should have been for the first pull. Got a good brake boost going and took him by 2 cars, maybe more. He was claiming break-up, but you "run what you brung" as all the local hill-jacks say.

I was waiting for this post Zinx...and have not been on here for a while.
That was a fun night, and no, I wasn't making all the power I could. Had a bit of a boost leak and my plugs were fouled pretty bad on those first two runs, but cleaned up a little later on. The car is set up for about 26 psi.
Here are some of my vids from that night.
Here is Zinx pulling me...

Run what you brung is right...
I have much respect for the FD's. Very fast cars.
See ya this summer Zinx.
