Has anyone had any experiance with this car.

Thanks for the help

 

S2k is faster, handles better, built as a roadster. 330ci is more comfortable, luxurious, and has a backseat.

 

I don't know about handles better but if it is faster has anyone ever really raced one and if so how was the race and out come. stock to stock

 

Yep, the S pulls *Very* comfortably from a stop or from a roll. And yes...the S handles much better. The s2000 was designed for one thing only.....road racing. You cna't really compare a car that was designed SPECIFICALLY for road racing with a luxury coupe that was made to be generic in the performance department. The S is much lighter, it has a perfect 50/50 distribution, much harder suspension, and an engine that is mounted entirely behind the front axle of the car creating virtually no inertia. The car does pretty much whatever you want it to instantaneously.

You really should be comparing the S2k to the last gen M3. That would be a better match.

 

You cant compare these cars.

They are in two different classes.

But on a track the S would naturally win, but it depends on what kind of driver you are.

 

thanks guy's

 

When I had my S2k, I did race a 330 from a roll at 65 MPH on i880 (had my friend as my passenger). We ran up to about 130 mph and I was dead on his rear (he was infront when we started) I was actually backing of the gas since I almost hit him about 4 times.. Then at 130 I went right and passed him.. I say no contest at all.. I got a thumbs up from the indian guy who was driving it..

 

I don’t usually post in the S2000 forum however I do not think stock vs. stock a S2000 would smoke a 330 hands down. I know they are totally different cars, however we are debating a straight speed race.... And we all know a straight-line race is not the most difficult of tasks (unless you are behind the wheel of a 4000 hp top fuelly), as one of my fellow Honda-tech members put it "Any idiot can stomp on the gas and shift gears"..... on a racetrack, now that is a totally different argument.

To match similar cars from the different manufactures (Honda / BMW) then match a Z3 M series vs. the S… and we all know what would happen in this encounter – on the track or at the light…. M hands down!

How come there are so many newbies in this forum?

 

I test drove one at a dealer. I was with two of my other friends. Making a total of 4 people in the 330ci Coupe I was test driving... and I must say... IT FRICKIN PULLED LIKE CRAZY WITH 4 PEOPLE! I was kind of surprised pulling so fast with 4 people in the car...


It felt weird.

 

s2k over a 330ci?? you're crazy son.

 

id still rather ha ve the s2k

 

ill take the s2000 over the z anyday of the week. I raced a new z about a month ago from a roll and I pounced all over him, see my signature below for mods. I had better races from an s2k.

 

You just met one...

More so pick out ANY twisty road you'd like... I'll out-torque ANY S2k so severely pulling away from corners they'll regret Honda put a 4-banger in their roadster.

Bowdown my ***...

 

Those mods aren't going to keep you up with a Z... lucky you found a lame driver.

 

Screw the 350z... gimme a Scubbie.... boost owzzzzzzs beeeeeaaatch!

 

It took a VERY boosted one to keep up and pass me... Just remember that.

I axe murder stock ones.

I'd rather have the 330Ci with a Dinan blower.

But I am biased, I aready have PLENTY of sportscars.

 

Doesnt the 350 have a roof? Yeah that part sucks.

 

Remember that stock 330s have a speed limiter at 128 mph.

 

an integra with those mods; jun stage 3 giving you mid 14's, right mid 13 is more like it...
and yes it will eat a 350 anyday

 

hey vasquez, yor the one who got banned from my350z? i recognized yor aim screen name. just curious cuz i saw a thread over there about it.

 

Yup, you caught me... I'm to the point now where I don't put up with ****...

That board was pure ****.

 

The s2000 is a little roadster, it's sluggish up till 5k Rpms, but after that its pretty damn quick. It would still take the Beamer all day long, off the line and on. Oh, and by the way, the s2k handles a hell of alot better.
