S2000 vs Type R
I've taken one out. I was minding my own business at an intersection when a
yellow S2000 coasted bye and reved on me, so I followed him a few blocks and
when he looked in his rear view mirror I gave him a thumbs up trying
to give him props on a awsome choice of a vehicle, but he did not respond in the
way I expected. We came to a single lane intersection that had a 45 degree acute
angle left turn, and he took this left at such a high speed with a awsome looking
power slide nice oversteer and everything I was amazed so I did the same. I went
into that turn at about 45 mph (not as fast as him) and I wished I got it all on
camera. It was awsome I pulled strong through that turn with a little oversteer and
a little drifting and shot out of that turn like a pro. I was on his *** down this sigle
lane road and when we got to the light two lanes YIPPI , so we're at this light it
turns green we both get off the line as if we wern't racing, but as soon as I looked
over at him we both punched it!!! Through first we were even, in second I pulled a
bumper, at the top of 2nd got a couple more feet, when I threw it in third and was
still ever so slowly pulling on him he shut it down. I slowed down to tell him nice
run and as soon as we went through the next light he floored it again and made a
quick left. How I love his car it sounded awsome all the way up to 9,000 rpm's. I
want one so bad, but I'm saving up for a Z06.

Re: S2000 vs Type R (white eg)
Lucky you... another example of someone who can't launch nor drive an S2000...
If he knew how to drive it... you would not have been inching on him....
Needless to say, sounded like you had some fun... much have been sharp seeing two yellow Hondas rocket by...

Re: S2000 vs Type R (TypeRP)
No, not under 45k try a few bucks over 50K. I plan to get a 2003 Z06, but thinking of holding out for the new and improved C6 mmmmmmmmmmmmm C6.

Re: S2000 vs Type R (01PYTypeR#1140)
I would've loved to have seen that on video
I could never street race, simply because i suck, if i go too far i'm in terrible probability of crashing, and i'm fully aware of what i can't do. So i simply don't do it.

Re: S2000 vs Type R (Speedy)
I felt I was pulling nicely in third then he shut her down. I do believe that from a dead stop a S2000 would do better in a 1/4mile than my moded R, because they get better 60' times, but from a roll an R with I/H/E vs A stock S2000 is a much more closer race than you think, so on your comment, NO! I don't think he would've pulled on me. I mean I ran a 14.315 1/4 with a shitty 2.3XX 60', so from a roll it seems that it would be a much, much closer race IMO.

(1) as i tried to say before, the s2k has a better top end than the R. i am not speaking outa my ***...i've owned both cars. the s2k is faster than the R once you pass ~ 100mph. i agree that an I/H/E R would be a damn good match for an s2k below ~100.
(2) look at your trap speed with that 14.3 run. s2k's usually trap higher (98-101 mph), which is indicative of a better top end.

Re: S2000 vs Type R (Darth VadeR)
I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but the S2000 is NOT THAT FAST! If anyone doubts this, feel free to ask Jack (B18CXr) about our experience in Atlanta as it was quite enlightening. I'm not a cocky person, but quite simply, we handed one owner his 455, bad![Modified by Darth VadeR, 1:33 PM 11/13/2001]

Re: S2000 vs Type R (CPR)
Here's another bubble burster...the ITR is not that fast either.
I simply commented to his post, period.

Re: S2000 vs Type R (Darth VadeR)
For some time now, I've been under the impression that everyone pretty much accepted that stock S2000's, properly driven, can run high 13's in the quarter mile, whereas a Type-R (stock) can run anywhere in the low to high 14's. Are either of these conceptions no longer true?

Re: S2000 vs Type R (Speedy)
I in no way said i was an expert, yet my encounter with one was definitely less than impressive.
They are nice cars, and in no way did I dog them. However, when someone posted that "an ITR has no chance against one", than I respectfully disagreed, and WILL EVERY TIME!
I agree that stock vs. stock, the S2000 should have its way with an R, and I never said otherwise...
Such hostility...
Also, don't make generalizations about people you've never met. You call me lame, why? I spanked an S2000, and posted that I did so. Why the hell should that offend you? I guess you must have one, huh? I think it's funny people get so angry at such a miniscule topic. Thanks for the laugh, though
