Default Myth Busters: The Z vs. S controversy... **ON VIDEO**

The Build Up...

As I promised... myself and 3fiddyz set out to settle the rivalry and constant bickering once and for all...

Tonight... we raced...


but with a Twist... We had svtmach1 (jsep productions www.jsept.tv) there to film the whole thing :bow: :bow:

The setting:
    We did this with my better half about a half mile ahead on cop watch- with radios...

    Aaron- 3fiddyz: 2003 FairladyZ with plenum and intake- slight advantage- BUT... advantage neutralized with 200lbs Camera man

    Joe- Joeking1978: 2002 Suzuka blue S2000- Stock! (with 18" SSR GT1's)

    (the races are being edited by Jeff for entertainment value... and he will post them tonight)

                    nice vid! i guess somebody finally stepped up and got it on tape. one of my best friend has a 2003 s2k with aem cai and invidia exhaust, he would usually get me from a dig and i would get him from a roll, about 1/2-1 car to about 120. exactly what i expected. great vid and thanks for posting.

                    cool! Thanks for being honest!


                    (its sad... even in s2ki... people try to say "whoa... the S should have won by more then THAT!"... so I always have to raise the :bs: flag on them too... some people just don't get it)

                    Well done, it's good to see that reasonable car enthusiasts can admire each other and recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each car. Without having to **** and moan about the reasons they should have done better (with the obvious exception of the 200lb cameraman ).

                    That 200# is a bigger factor from a dig than it is from a roll.

                    Nice vid though.
