I am just wanting to see how many people would give up there S2K for a Type R.
Here are pics of my car.....https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1435441&page=2

I'm currently dealing with warwagon on his.... Thanks in advance guys.....

 

RWD > FWD

I have heard this many times from many people.....

( shrugs shoulders and waits to see )

 

its not something you will understand until having owned one for awhile

 

hehe... we had to get opinions from the s2k community... i feel like i know how to drive a fwd better than the S... plus i need the room and maybe i'll keep it long enough to buy a truck or something and keep the R as a track ***** weekend warrior...when school is done of course shane wuddup with them interior pics

 

Depends on the season.

 

If I were to trade my S for more of a practical car, it'd be an E36/46 M3.

 

i bought a 1997 Type R with 5k miles on it in mid 2001... when i had already owned my S2000 for over a year......i hated the ITR. I sold it after just 5 months.... i kept the S2000 though.

Did you track the R?

I have to say, you will NOT appreciate the R unless you take it to the track. Maybe it does lack a bit compared to the S, but I would never say that I hated driving the R--not even close. It is an excellent, fun car to track. If you were just going to drive it around town, might as well have gotten a GSR--at least that has A/C and cruise control. I guarantee 80% of the people that sell their R's are doing so, because they expected VTEC to kick in like a t60 turbo.

Not ******* on you, at all. After all, you did keep the faster car.

Scot races in ECHC with a S2K. Well he used to, he sold his S a month or so ago. He came in 2nd place both yrs he raced. I would think he was not impressed enough with the R. He is a very good driver and I wouldn't doubt that he tracked the R. I will leave more details for him to chime in

 

Even if that's the case, how can he say he "hated the R?"

I guess we've all got our different tastes and are entitled to our own opinions...oh well, I'm just trying to defend the reputation of my long lost love.

 

Yeah I also want to know what makes people feel like they hated a r. I think anyone would take one if they had the choice.

 

Having had two Type R's previous to my S2000, I would have no problem buying another Type R. I certainly think that it takes a more competent driver to get the most out of the S2000, but if I picked up another R, it would probably be for a crazy motor build up drag car, or full purpose track car. The R is in it's element when tracked... Just my .02

 

Wouldnt even consider going to an ITR from an S2000...just a personal preference, im not a fan of front wheel drive performance cars (track or not), and to me, if im going to go to a track, i would rather master driving the S2000 than the Integra Type-R...because while it it quite a competent track car, you will eventually meet the point where you simply cannot out perform a like driver with similar performance in a rear wheel drive car...the optimal setup for speed and handling on a track is rear wheel drive, this is why most of the racing world relies on rear or all wheel drivetrains...and im no expert personally, i would never claim to be...and i probobly would never get to a point where i would drive either car to its full potential...so in that thought, i would just go back to personal preference.

Styling wise to me as well...the S2000 wins hands down, but thats lesser of a factor if you love both cars...ive never cared for the integra so its easy for me.

 

Never.

I could never go from a RWD roadster to a FWD erm..economy car basically

 

i dont know, since i own an R already so im kinda byest... i love my R it handles great, plus with the new motor im good to go too. (who said you cant turbo a type R), the only thing that I hate about owning the car is that,

1 you cant park it ANYWHERE outside
2 people try to race you all the time
3 because its a type R everyone thinks its fast
4cant drive the car no where, unless you want to check it every 10 min

other then that, i have wanted one since i was 17 and it has been everything i wanted.
im getting ready to make it a weekend car now, and need something that i can work with. so im thinking of a new S or maybe and M3

depends on what you expect from the car. And even that, you have to be very specific.

e.g. I haf seen a Mugen EP3 N1 (270ps NA) whooping a 280ps S2000, 500ps evos and 911 GT3s all day long on a street course. in this case FF&gt;RR,FR

But i am sure u can come up with something to refute this. As i have said, it's all up to people. Dont get me wrong, I like S2ks.

I can. Driver of said Mugen EP3&gt;drivers of the S2K and the EVO,911. If any of those drivers were good they should be quiker hands down.

 

in the hands of a competant driver, the limits for cornering speed + braking + acceleration will always be in favor for RWD. Of course there are FWD setups to show they can keep up and sometimes outlap a RWD setup in the same class.

I could see someone hating the ITR b/c it would be so bothersome to drive it worrying about someone stealing it.

Exactly. That's one of the main reasons why I sold mine. However, it was NOT because of the performance aspect.
