I for one will tell you if the SR-T walked you, then it was modded! Another thing that you need to know is the S2000 was/is designed as a track car. The SR-T would have had NO chance with you on a track or curvey road. There are FEW cars in this price point that could keep up with you in those circumstances...EVO owners and fans will hate me for this, but the STI's and EVO could not keep up with you in the moutains of curvey roads either (if both were on the same skill level drivers). The car is not made to have low-end torque, so if this "race" was from a dead stop, he is going to pull on you. I would not let it get to you, ANYONE can drive a car in a straight line...if you know what I am talking about.

So simple horse power gains would be a drop in K&N filter (FIPK full intake will create a TAD more HP, but the stock box is more level increase in power), a cat-back exhaust, and the E-Manage ultimate (unless you own an 06' DONT DO THE EMANAGE yet, LOTS of problems with the 06' model and heavy driving). With those mods you should be around 250-260RWHP vs. the stock 205-210 at the wheel. Also, unlike most believe the more miles and the more times you USE the V-tech, the more power the engine will create....Dont get down about the car, just realize what it is designed for. This is why SO MANY people track these cars instead of building them for drag races..
