Default Any s2000's here run Honda Challenge?

If you do, how are you fairing up with the hybrids in general? How's the straights? Do the hybrids pull faster? Under braking, do the hybrids brake later? I think under cornering the s2000 should have the advantage and I would also assume that towards the progression of the race, the s2000 would also have a better advantage due to the overal balance of the car and advantage of RWD but we still see the bimmers getting spanked from time to time in touring class of world challenge.

The s2000 holds a few cheating bastard advantages:

-RWD
-More tire grip (275s in the rear)
-Better weight distribution/overall balance

But...there always seems to be a but....

-has a +400lb weight difference, used to be +600lbs, thankfully that was reduced
-stock brakes must be retained, not even a 2 piece rotor can be used, means braking system will have to take a good amount of abuse

Awwww..........just go for it, Ardy!

Why do S2K's have to retain the stock brakes when the H1 fwd hybrids get to use aftermarket brakes?

That sux!

I'd love to see more variety and competition in the Honda Challenge, like S2K's and NSX's.
