Any of you guys ever raced and s2k?
 

Any of you fd owners every race an s2000 every s2000 owner i know always says they can pull on 350z's, rx-7,evo's, and sti's.

sure, they can pull on a N/A FC!

assuming we're talking about near stock s2k, a fd should own them from a roll and even more from a stop. but you have to take in account that the majority of these cars are modded to some extent. a s2k on the track is another story however..

yes ive raced about a 6 of them and they are all pretty slow. im only around 300-315WHP and thats not much. all the ones ive raced are close to that or a little more. "the 7 cant lose!" :fawk:

I've raced a couple, its was quite funny.

S2K's are funny they make lots of noise even though theyre far behind you.lol

+1

My friend had one. I wasn't impressed. Actually he got beat by another friend who had a stock 185 HP audi TT (not the 225 quatro).

I've never raced one. They always leave me alone unlike the srt-4's and mustangs. Those guys seem like they're always hungry for some.

thats what i thought its just that vtec boost their egos so much i dont understand. Ive driven 2 and they dont feel all that fast, to be beating evos and sti's.

Nice car, but not fast by any means. Supercharged/turbo would be something to mess with, but even the most modded NA S2 should get spanked by any stock FD.

i rode in one to with some extent in mods not impressed that much. But they are loud as hell. My cousin civic dynoed 185hp/180trq and beat a mild modded s2k.

at 185hp/180trq wheel, thats just about 10 hp wheel less from an S and and 40 more tq also the civic is alot lighter.

my dad used to own one, and I drove it plenty. It is pretty good for a honda and has pretty good top end for a 2.0 dohc vtec, but it wont hang with the 7. although, it does have superb handling.

i smoked my friends s2k the 2.2l one , i think a 2gen n/a with a good street port, would stay with it,

The S2 in stock form they are pretty slow....they do respond well to mods. It really likes the bottle....but with boost its another story. I know a couple that are close to the 500hp mark on pump gas and stock internals.

The S2000 is a really nice car. Nice looking, decent power, and great handling. However, it's no supercar. I raced one, and beat him fairly easily. If I were in the market for a convertible, an S2000 would definitely be a good car to consider.

raced my friends s2k, kicked his ass pretty bad. he then bought a to4 turbo kit, kicked his ass again. he then sold his car. i would trade my fd for a s2k though.

good god those cars are slow the only ones that are quick are the 2jz powered ones. my buddy has a comptech supercharged s2k and i still pull 5 or 6 cars on him with only 310hp

A properly running stock FD will beat a stock S2K every time. I have an FD and my daily driver is an S2K :)

I've raced two 350Zs up to about 130-135 mph, and the Z had a slight edge I think, but just baareeeeellyy.... This was with my top down (more drag).

I raced my buddy's mildly modded Evo, and he had no trouble putting a few cars on my S2K on highway roll ons.

One problem with S2000s is that unless you keep it from 7000-9000 RPM, they pretty much are as slow as an Accord. You really need to drive the car HARD to make it go fast. It handles sweetly though, and I love the fact that I can drop the top on nice days. Another bonus is that I don't care if it gets stolen, scratched, etc.. it's my beater :)

Your S2000 is your "beater." You, dear sir, are a bastard. :)

"Your S2000 is your "beater." You, dear sir, are a bastard. "

I totally agree 200%

nah, they can't pull on the sti's just too much power for a stock s2k. when my rx7 was close to stock (just had downpipe), when I used to take on my buddy's s2k, it was pretty dead even from a dig to 80 (me with a bad launch and spinning my tires in place for a second), but after 80 I started walking him bad. The stock s2k could take on the early gen evo's and wrxs, but not the STIs. If the s2k was running a supercharger through, it would be a very different story. The comptech superchager makes the car into a 310-320whp/240tq daily driver, with gears it's pretty crazy.

RAN A 450hp s2k @ 17psi with me @ 12psi (430hp) we were neck & neck. Even race

Nah, a base supercharger kit gives only about ~300 whp and ~180 lb-ft of torque on an S2000. 240 lb-ft is wishful thinking for a base supercharger kit :) Even mild turbo kits don't reach that torque figure.

i raced one from a light, i let him get infront of me and i took of like i was going for a sunday cruise...and he was strait guning it off the light. So then after i slowly take off i just step on it and by this time he is starting to redline 2 and iam not even redlining first...well lets just say by the time i got into 3rd gear i flew by him like he was standing still. and my car maybe making 280 to 300 rwhp and i mean maybe if iam lucky. :)

Hheheh, my true beater is my wife's pimpin 2000 Hyundai Accent. That thing has been in about 6 minor accidents. I try to take care of the S2k, but if something happens to it, I wouldn't cry or anything. If my FD got a bird poop on it, I think it's go nuts! :)

You're making as much power as a Supercharged S2000, but with more torque so yea a stock S2000 isn't really up to being a challenge for you.

it depends on were you race them. my 7 can barely keep up with my buddies S2k in the corners. all he has is tein felx comptech catback and a few other parts. but in a straight line its i would murder his car.

beat a boosted S2K in my TII

put about 5 cars on him. He was only boosting 5 pounds to my 12

A couple weeks later he turned his boost up to 15 and.......... POP...........

Probably my favorite Honda though

when it comes down to it, it's all about the driver for "twisties."

haha i beat a stock s2k and i got a 89 gxl street ported my car costs waaay less and is so much faster

Do not ever compare a S2k to a FD.

heres a video thats been on the internet for a while & i think that the owner is on the site:

http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...66a7ee317c.htm


and theres the movie: chasing the touge , that features a FC T2 vs an S2000

didnt the t2 get beat by the s2k?
never saw the entire vid

i never saw the movie ...at all .... LOLLL so i couldnt tell you...
anybody saw the whole movie ????
if the FC wins ill buy the movie , heheheh !!

dont forget thats its a "movie" !!!
put keiichi behing the steering wheel of a STOCK FC, and hell beat even a 350hp S2K !!!

What's your point??

The S2k is pimp. It's looks amazing, has enough power, handles excellent, has a drop top, best transmission in any production car, built to last, chicks dig it, and all at a reasonable price tag. Some of you have no clue.......

they are nice cars, just slow unless you do some sort of forced induction

Lien: The S2k is pimp.

Glad were back in 7th grade...

Lol jp.. Come on I had too

Define slow? Any car, once modded, can be very fast. It just seems like everyone these days are only concerned about going fast in a straight line. If that, a stock S2000 is on par with a stock FD, and both will run circles around a stock FB or FC with a experienced driver. Take the car for what it is and stop hating..........:)

Lol jp.. Come on I had too[/QUOTE]

Your one to talk with this line?

Liem: S2000 is on par with a stock FD

False statement...

a slow car is a slow car, most s2k's stay na and hence... slow, an fd and s2k are not on par, an fd is a supperior car in every aspect aside from reliability and gas mielage.

it takes modding an s2k to be on par with a stock fd, im not hating on the car, they are great for what they are, but they dont have the power that everyone makes them out to have.

Agreed...

Less hp less torque an more weight? Assuming there stock. (2831 curb btw)

I don't think people make the S2000 to have a lot of power. They are a weak car for the highway. you don't have to be fast in a straight line to be considered fast. S2000 are formidable cars once you hit the canyons, track, autox, etc. While the FD may be on par with the S2000's handling, none of the other 7's can say they're as fast as a S2K once you race on a road where you have to turn your steering wheel more than a little.

Fast doesn't mean fast in a straight line, but apparently that's what everyone's concerned with so, what do I know?

there have been alot of s2000's being either boosted or supercharged. so dont believe the hype. But its the fact that 80% of them are custom made

stock for stock a fd will own a s2000

a r1 weights 2750 & a s2000 weights 2830

Roen: none of the other 7's can say they're as fast as a S2K once you race on a road where you have to turn your steering wheel more than a little.


yes they can.. lol

this summer im gonna try out with one of my neighbors;
he has a 266rwhp s2k (dynoed) headers, 5zigen complete double exhaust,intake,suspension.

ill be able to try out my new t3/t4 set-up. so i have all winter to get ready.
ill make you guys some nice videos,
if i beat his s2k, he's gonna come kill me with his Yamaha R1 !!

:tank:
LOL, no they do not mod well. Gains of ~9HP are seen from a full I/H/E setup out of the 2.0L setup. The 2.2L doesn't mod any much better, either. IMO, that's a pretty weak gain.

A stock 2.0L (F20C) puts down ~201RWHP.
The mentioned "modded" F20C still only put down ~210RWHP.
Even if you get the "top shelf" Mugen parts, the numbers are the same.
That's less than a ~5% gain.

Why is this? The motor is already pretty strung out from the factory.

I mean, these motors will respond decently to FI, but what NA motor doesn't?

you must be a straitline guy....casue an fd really starts to shine in the corners. Now maybe if your making like 450rwhp+ its going to be hard to controle in corners...

I've raced many modded s2k's, even turbocharged ones...and honestly they can be quick....though I havent lost to one. I've raced them in turns and on straights. Though all my runs were done with my 350whp Fd...Now that I have a new setup, the corners might be a little more challenging....so I am going to stay away from them...lol

I'm curious as to how that one guys neighbor got 266rwhp with just bolt ons on his s2k. Find that hard to believe. You would need some crazy n/a setup for 266rwhp. Unless he's boosted
