Default At war with S2K owners

I`m from Europe and I`m interested in your experiences with S2K owners...
Since this car is out I feel offended by them. They are better, more expensive, faster, better track drivers, HE-men, masters of the universe, god in person.....
They talk **** about the "old" ITR, especially on track they call it a loser.

I can`t believe that. For me, the ITR is the only true track-***** Honda ever built, except the JDM spec RSX.

What are your opinions...?

Just tell them you'll meet them on the track.

Let the results do the talking.

i never ran across an s2000 owner that was a jerk. but i wouldn't stoop down to their level. if they want to be jerks, then let them. doing so would show others that you are no better than they are. just show them what's up on the track. that's my advice. don't let it bother you, just use it a motivational tool to become a better track driver.

I`ll be on track for three days in August (Nürburgring Nordschleife).. And I PRAY for meeting an S2000 there... But even if he`s faster.. I don`t like this spitting on my holy cow ==> Type R = legend

Your know what I mean ?

I have to disagree.......crushing egos with lap times in a badgeless, wingless, stickerless Type R is oh so much more fun

Be cool.

I kicked lots of S2000 in my last track day.
DON´T WORRY.

They´re damm slow, to much weight.
Just remove your back seats, trunk plastics, spare wheel, etc...

You´ll kick him in the first corner.

I have fun every day... streets are not speed limited and if I want to have fun I just have to choose the left lane and wait for the next BMW...

@pinota:
thanks dude, I hoped you could join us on track day... sad to hear you`re not coming.

Panther Plus front brake pads, R4S rear brake pads, Motul 600 brake fluid.

That way your brakes will not be an issue at all.

I think the problem is not everyone who buys an S2000 is an enthusiast.


So how do ITRs fair against S2Ks at the track?
