Altima SE R Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 My friend just got a 2004 S2000 and he is dying to race me. I want to know if I stand a chance with my SE R or would I hands down get my ass kicked? I know its a honda forum, but please give honest opinions. Only mods I have is a NISMO CAI. His car is new , so no mods yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 The S2000 would win. If you want to stand a chance, then only race from 0-20mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altima SE R Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 well, we will be racing from stand still. about a quarter mile length. Would the lack of tourque benefit me any. (close race or kill?) only cars ive raced were: friends 350z - I won twice and lost one RSX type s - I killed him WRX sti - he killed me (not even close) never seen a s2000 race before, so i want to know what 2 expect.

CleanGSR Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 You'd probably get him off the line but once his Vtec kicks in he'd start pulling on you. I think your torque advantage will only help you off the line. With the length of a QM, his high end power will outweight your torque. Also, an S2000 is quite a bit lighter than your car.

Altima SE R Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 yeah thats what mostly worries be the weight diff. i think its like a 600lbs difference. ill be removing my spare tire and jack before racing him.lol (need all help i could get) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 What's the hp and torque rating on your car? Isn't it like 260hp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SexyH22 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 well, is he stock? cause i lost to a modded s2000, but due to a rocky surface, and spinning too much. and i beat a twin turbo 300zx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altima SE R Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 ok everyone, I finally raced my friend and I am very happy to say, I won all 3 races. First race I beat him by about 1 and 1/2 and the other two I beat him by a car length. My other friends that went with me, were shocked cuz they thought I would get my ass kicked. Next time we will try racing from rolling. But after racing those 3 times, I think I have a good chance from a roll also. I'll let everyone know the outcome when it happens.

BigBirdSucks Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 your friend can't drive for crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altima SE R Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 I knew that was coming. being that I am in a honda forum. My friend drives good, those cars are top-end wonders but slow from launch. after the lead I got from him in the start, it was pretty even. He would not get closer and I would not pull from him. Also, I have read that the stock clutch on those cars really suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Launching the S2000 can be tricky sometimes (at least on my dad's 01). With no offense to you, I agree that your friend needs to learn how to drive better, cause I could beat you with his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I have read that the stock clutch on those cars really suck. I'll say it again. YOU'RE FRIEND NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE. I'm not saying that because this is a honda forum. I'm saying that because an altima just doesn't run a low 14-high 13 second 1/4 mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altima SE R Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 big bird check stats. altima se r runs low 14's. I took my car to moroso and ran a 14.6 and my launching was bad. plus my car is automatic. So yes, they do run low 14's with good driver. in the street however is way different and the launching is alot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 i say trade for 6 spd. then you will stand a chance with good driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S14Silvia Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 yeah your friend can't drive period. lets look at stats shall we? as you have an automatic, you obviously dont have the spec-v. HP S2000 240hp SE-R 165hp Torque S2000 162lb-ft SE-R 175lb-ft Curb Weight S2000 2835lbs ->1286kg SE-R 2761lbs ->1252kg HP/kg S2000 0.19 SE-R 0.13 Thusly you should take him initially off a line due to your higher torque, but he should pull on you for 4 reasons. 1) a better power to weight ratio. 2) better gearing. 3) your automatic trans, while it shifts fairly fast it also robs extra horsepower which is not lost in manual transmissions. and finally his car is more aerodynamic, and although this will not play a huge roll in low speeds, if you took the race to 80+ mph his lower coefficient of drag will be advantagous to him, assuming he has the top up, if the tops down the coefficient of drag gets much larger and that reason can thusly be dropped from the list. that being said good work on beating up on a S2000 just don't try to take him in the twisties!

Altima SE R Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 let me correct u on that SER-260hp tourque- 240 silva thanks for coments. yeah rolling the results should be different. i'll let u guys know when it happens. Another thing has anyone here actually raced against an ser? cuz in the nissan forum, others say they have raced against s2000 and also came out on top. guess it's just not me. those other drivers might not have known how to drive as well.

Humphries Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 s14 misinterpreted it.. he is putting out stats for a sentra SE-R this guy has an altima se-r its fast but as a 6 speed.. it'd be faster. and if the s2k guy learned to drive... you wouldnt touch him.

CleanGSR Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 According to nissan's website, the SE-R only comes in a six speed. If you had an automatic and beat an S2000, than that really does confirm that the other guy is a crapty driver. S2000 should easily spank an automatic.
