S2K the best ive seen was 13.9 1/4


Corvette C6 the worst time i have seen for them is 13.0 in 1/4

 

can't wait for my arch nemas vette buddy's to get there hands on this.
hahaha
the vette will murder us on a track MURDER, and straight line as well you have zero chance at all.
Bottom line your S is not even coming close to a vette.

 

What kind of experience do you have in autox? The C5Z06 is VERY VERY hard to beat in autox using a S2000 and the C6 should be at the same level as the C5Z06...

Before you ask, I have done FTDs in a S2000 and I would NOT race a C6 for big money in autox unless I know the driver is a total NOOB!

 

I've gone against a C5 straight line from 40mph.. it wasn't pretty.. on the drag strip, i know it won't be close, or shouldn't be given stock for stock.. even on the autox, i'm sure the straight aways is where the c6 (or c5) would run away, but i'm talking strictly on the turns..

Feisty.. Tera Patrick looks different in person than on my pc monitor

 

A local S2000 traded his S for a C6. Him, a current Elise driver (used to own S2000 as well) and current Miata driver all drove the car at the last autocross. The Elise and Miata guy both said the car shrank during their runs. In other words it does not have that heavy, boat-ish feel you'd think it does. They were both impressed.

In R&T's March '05 sports car comparison test, in which the S2000 actually did quite well, the C6 bested in in every performance category, including skidpad/slalom. The S2000 was slower the entire track test as well, except for one section. And the C6 still had the higer average speed, it just took longer to complete the section. Probably the driver didn't take as good a line.

Wow...I take it that you've never driven a C5 before?? The C5Z06 outhandles the C6 just by tiny bit, this is said by Dave Hill himself. And jumping from a C5Z06 to a base C5 with sports suspension is not like jumping from a S2K to a Civic, they can hold their own in the handling department as well. If you're comparing them in a tight Autox track where the car never get out of 2nd gear, then the S2K will get the weight advantage. Even so, the C5/6 will still hard to beat. Take them to a big open roadcourse, you can forget about the S. Don't let the leaf springs fool you.

 

clothing will do that!

 

Firstly, what does "outhandle" mean? Handling is a subjective criterion.

If you mean which will get around a track faster, there is no comparison -- all things being equal (e.g. no one's on M+S tires), any C5 or C6 Vette will crush an S2000 on an open track. The same goes for autocrosses -- the Vette can't use its power advantage to the same degree, but it's still faster than the S2000 by a wide margin. Even the base C5 that people are talking smack about was the fastest car in Super Stock back in 2000, back when the S2000 was the fastest car in A Stock, the next class down.

 

 

Here is a rather lengthy review I did of the S2000 and C6 back in February.
