How fast?

reds2k · 04-01-2008, 11:03 AM

I have driven my s2k up to 130 miles per hour with a passenger in the car with me. What is the fastest (miles per hour) anyone has driven their s2k? 'Just curious.

sonic · 04-01-2008, 11:22 AM

130 by myself

TheSoundMan21 · 04-01-2008, 11:55 AM

110 by myself... maybe faster but just didnt look down

I did take my 328is BMW up to 150mph kinda freaky

SXY_S2K · 04-01-2008, 11:57 AM

When I was in a caravan on the way to S2000 homecoming I hit 140 trying to keep up with some of the guys. It scared the ever-lovin-buh-jezsus outta me. I slowed to 90 and don't think I went over that the rest of the trip...

army_boy · 04-01-2008, 11:58 AM

170 miles per hour w a supercharger

s2k4 · 04-01-2008, 11:59 AM

04 s2000.136mph with passenger.car seemed pretty much topped out.(bone stock)

gomarlins3 · 04-01-2008, 12:37 PM

130, but that was before the new rear gears.

bbcricketta · 04-01-2008, 01:09 PM

jagg: how many fps does that .17 make at the muzzle? now that is fast.

170 miles per hour: pssssssht...

mine is like spitzer's girl friend; it's got a governor on it--55 miles per hour top speed.

hammerhead300 · 04-01-2008, 01:13 PM

I've hit 120, and that could be as fast as I ever take it.

D1sclaimer · 04-01-2008, 02:07 PM

138. I was racing my friends chipped Jetta IV running 19psi and was ahead of him about 4 car lengths. We went passed a sheriff caught up in traffic(my way was clear of cars, but his was packed) and took the next turn to wait in a neighborhood. He almost hit me while taking the turn cause he couldn't control his car with the understeer. I had to brake. Thats the last time I'll probably go that fast.

just over 2600 fps..........my stewie is almost as fast, but I'll never find out. I drive around like grandma. (gotta Savage .250/3000 that's definately faster than both)

So how many RPMs were you turning? A supercharger won't change the redline and 170 is way beyond making shrapnel. Sorry, this one is hard to believe.

fast for sure H20.......but, how ya hittin' em?

Other than hunting turkeys and targets .17 is an ornament. I'm partial to .22 hornet. (at 200m, she's point of aim-point of impact)
Ahhh, who am I kiddin'. I'm partial to shooting anything. I try and get lots of practice in with all in the arsenal.

It shoots real well. A custom rifle from back in the day built around a mouser action. I had the chamber redone as it was on the large size. But I don't shoot anything these days other then a deer or two. And for that I use my mellow 7x57 mountain rifle.
I got nowhere to shoot for fun now that I'm down in civilized territory.

Stewie'z godda speedometer????

Joyce · 04-01-2008, 03:53 PM

Ok guys don't laugh and remember I have only had my S2K since december-----72mph!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that I have a lot of fun, really enjoy myself, think the car is really sexy and I drive like a grandma!!!! (I don't think I look like one and I certainly feel like a grandma!) I have wanted an S2K since I saw one in 1999 (the first year I think), and my husband would say that the car was too powerful for me, my son would say it was a waste for someone that drives like I do. There may be a driving lesson in my future, but until then I doubt that I will drive too fast. No matter I love the car, it is a blast to drive, it is just plain fun even without the speed.---------------J

jagg · 04-01-2008, 03:57 PM

As long as you're having fun and driving within your comfort zone Joyce, why should it matter what the speedo was clockin' you at? You've got the right idea my dear.....Kudos.

Hi Joyce..
You drive it and enjoy it the way you see fit. I love mine (Doreen's really)no matter if she's going fast or slow.

That would be a one time thing probably, 2:00 in the morning on the interstate goin to Atlanta, no one for miles. My comfort level only goes to 135. Then the pucker facter comes into play.

s2000isu · 04-01-2008, 06:30 PM

I have only been to 157. I think I had about 2500 rpms left to play with. I see no reason why you wouldnt be able to redline at about 170.

Don't know why but I was thinking AP2.

So, army_boy, do you have an AP1 or an AP2 that you've taken up to 170?

bbcricketta · 04-01-2008, 06:57 PM

doesn't honda say the top speed is 150-155 miles per hour?

as for driving that fast on a public road. you won't do a lot of it. even on i-85. and at night? i'd be saving my luck.

it is hard to get all the rpm out of an overdrive gear...sometimes it is just impossible.

s2000isu · 04-01-2008, 07:13 PM

The top speed on a supercharged s2000 is not 150............

chazdawg35 · 04-01-2008, 08:43 PM

Well Bobby I got 151 you got me! I started to get SCARRED! LOL

SilverS2K422 · 04-01-2008, 10:52 PM

ap1..... topped out at 144? Was bouncing off 7k? Was bouncing off or your motor just ran out of power?

kgf3076 · 04-02-2008, 04:40 AM
