frontier vs s2k?
had an encounter with an s2k the other day. decided to stretch my frontier's legs just to see how badly i get beat....surprisingly we were pretty evenly matched....first run i had a bad launch and he put a good 3 lenghts between us by 90.... second run i asked him to go from a 20mph roll due to my traction issues and i put 2 lengths between us by 60. fromthere on he started catching up and we were bumper in bumper by 90.. then he pulled away.....after pointing out that he had a 4 cylinder, (like i didnt know) he said he had intake, exhaust, thermostat and other minor mods.....
so i dont know what to make of this. his honda sounded like it ran strong. his driving was good. i could clearly hear the vtech scream, telling me he milked it for what it was worth.... anyone care to speculate? i really thought s2ks are faster than that... my frontier is a basic 6 speed estimating 250rwhp and slightly more torque on 4400 + lbs including myself.....just cai, catback and headers |

I'm calling
 . I have run a frontier before (it was the 6 cylinder version) and beat the snot out of it. Your I-H-E would not do enough for you to beat me. The only way you will win is if you are racing a little punk kid who cant drive stick.

I think the 350z from that old post and the frontier should race.
Why was the s2k owner "screaming" on his "vtech?" Why was he on the phone? These posts are just too funny. Its like joing LS1tech.com, joining, and in your first post telling them a stock s2k beat a cammed I/H/E LS1 in the quarter mile. They'll just laugh.

I really, really dislike Nissan's. If I see one more pimped out Altima I think I'm gonna puke. I looked at the 350Z and the Infinity G37 and sure they are fast but they are also cheap. What I mean is, they are the Dodge equivalent of Japanese cars. Poor workmanship and sub par materials. Maybe this guy got the S2000 confused with a del sol. There is this guy who lives near my work who's got a silver del sol and he put S2000 emblems all over it. Maybe that's who he raced...

I didn’t come here to spam troll or bs around. I understand if you don’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it eighter….Any members or s2k clubs in Arizona?? Im willing to meet up, so that we can do our research and find out how a frontier can keep up with an s2k…..

A VQ40DE Nissan Frontier with I/E is still slower than a stock s2000. About a full second. The s2000 time is the best stock one I've seen with a good driver. Not sure about the Frontier, but its the fastest Frontier on drag times.

Hey, the S is slow, old, under powered, and has no torque, give us a break huh. However, we look REALLY good, hehe.

I think the new Tundra is 5.8 sec from 0-60. That's why I don't race Tundras. (I don't race anyway)

Maybe you guys are finally realizing how slow these cars are in factory form?

Doc, you really need to put some rings in that car. You'll get stopped for pollution.
