ss/sc vs s2000

so tonight i went out to the local hang out spot and met up with a 2003 honda s2000 it was stock and all i have is a k&n intake. so the guy told me that he would beat me by at least 3 car lengts so i said lets go out and run them so we did. the first time we went was from about 10 mph and i spun threw first and a little of second and i started to pull on him up to about 100mph and i had about 1 car lengts on him. so the second time we went from about 20 and i beat him by about 2 mabey 3 car lengts. all and all it was 2 good races i thought i was going to loose lol becase i heard they are fast but i guess i was wrong.

S2000s are overrated. They are slow stock. They have no HP at all untill that honda V-tec kicks in at like 9,000 RPM

Actually they do have a good amoutn of hp stock you should look up the specs, and look how much they weigh. They redline at almot 9, vtec kicks in at around 6800.

The cars are a tad overrated, they only weight about 2800lbs but they put down 210hp and 150tq instead of the 240 claim (stock).

If i have learned anything since I've gotten my car is that anything can look good on paper, and a good car doesn't make a good driver.

Well I have driven an s2000 a lot (friends dad had one) and it was quite fun, I must say. Completely different experience, you feel so low to the ground. Plus it was pretty quick...just off the line sucked ass since you can't even, or I couldn't even chirp the tires cause of the amazing TCS on it...or at least I think it was that...maybe the amazing lack of torque to spin the tires...but once it got moving...it moved. And it's loud, its fun driving a car up to 9,000 rpm's, always made me smile :-)

Yea they may be overrated, but a true sports car.

even though it is a honda, can the s2000 actually be considered a honda... honda has made one rear wheel drive vehicle and that is the s2k... the nsx is a honda but yeah acura slaps it's label on the us model... the s2k is a honda on crack... nice car none the less, but still a honda, and still no torque... nice kill by the way....

No argument there, theres a reason it wins 10best alot. Personally, I don't like them at all.

i remember reading somewhere that you have to launch those babies at an ungodly high rpm to do anything decent off the line.

Totally, miata's are probly the gayest car ever made, It's coo that they're small some what light and RWD but they're dumb cars. You always see either a chick, old balding guy thats couldnt afford a decent car for his midlife crisis or some big dude where your like WTF!?!?!

I think the ugly comment was to the results of the race not the car being as that was his post was about a race....

On another note i had one last night that wanted to go from about 60 and he got obliterated everytime he tried...and he just wouldn't give up.
