I know this has been beaten to hell, but my friend (that owns a supercharged s2000) tells me the R would lose.

What do you guys think?

Full Mugen Integra Type R
VS.
Supercharged s2000 with:
strut tower brace and springs and tie bars
SC with exhaust

SAME TIRES, SAME DRIVER
thanx guys,

Jordo

Well, with the strut tower brace, springs and tie bars, I would say the S2000 has an unfair advantage. Maybe if the R had better tires...

I think you know what would win.

 

I agree - the S2000 would win that battle.

 

the s2000 isnt that fast

 

mugen itr = weak

 

.....I love bench racing.

 

mugen R all the way

 

what about your R vs that s2000?

well it would be close till the race started, then I think the s2k boosted would have the advantage

 

straight line I can put down most v8 cars, let alone some bolt on integra.
put me in a turn and im average. I have 4 blown shocks.....

 

i thought the racing mugen r, wasnt just bolt ons? i thought it had head work and whatnot

 

COME ON PEOPLE!!! How many parts does Mugen make for the Type R that actually increases power? There are very few items and power increase is relatively small for each of them.

 

exactly

 

talking about how many items do they sell.. Theres no way in hell their racing R only has bolt ons..... thats crazy

but hey im probadly wrong.... would the spoon itr be any competition?

S2k by far.

 

in stock trim the ITR would lose by .25 of a car to a stock S2000 I have seen it on video but depending on driver it could swing both ways.

Mike Ditka vs. S2000

Mike Ditka...

I need help

 

Well in Car and Driver's test the Mugen ITR with: Mugen-limited slip, engine comp, cat-back exhaust, header, clutch, valve springs, engine mounts, lightweight flywheel, high-compression head gastket, low-temp thermostat, and high pressure radiator cap posted a 6.6 0-60 and a 15.2 1/4. The car produced 220hp, so from that I would deduce that the s2k would win. Just for an example of the power of a supercharged s2k here is a vid of a moddified s4 racing one. http://66.66.68.50/S4_vs_SCS2K.mpg

 

S2K would win.

 

Me too

 

The R would lose.....badly. No replacement for torque my friend.

 

maybe the s2000 but the driver counts a lot,

 

What if I have a Spoon NSX, can I beat them both?

Well, if that's true, my car will beat the crap out of the Mugen Type R.

Stock, my car timed at 14.5 in the 1/4, so it proved one more time that Car and Driver, like similar mags, are bull poo poo.

(Unless the editor's grand ma was driving the Mugen R...)
