Hello everyone,

I tried searching, but didn't come up with much of anything. Has there ever been a showdown between (what I consider) Japan's top S2000 tuners [ASM, Amuse, J's Racing] with their designated street cars? With the new additions to the ASM GT-10 car, and with me spending quite a bit of time last night watching old videos of the Amuse and J's cars it had me wondering.

Who would reign supreme whether it be on a touge run, or even on a track such as Tsukuba?

Pretty sure they've raced before.

ASM would win on the track it's the fastest at tsukuba

Here's a touge battle for J's and amuse this is the first gen s2000's[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5kdHYypqqw [/media]

Here's their gen 2 s2000's

I may be biased because I have an uncontrollable love for ASM parts, but I think the ASM monster would annihilate any other s2000 in their class.

 

Yea, I've seen the Amuse versus J's videos many times over. I was more looking for a video with all 3. Or at least a discussion as to why you think X company would win over the other 2.

 

Well both j's and amuse designed their cars for the touge, both of them have been on tsukuba and have yet to break the 1 minute barrier where as the asm has hit 57 seconds.

 

asm all the way!!

 

Isn't the Amuse car, turbo'd? I know J's is N/A and what about ASM?

 

Amuse's original Touge Monster was not turbo'd, but the GT1 is.

i don't think comparing the asm car that did 57 seconds at tsukuba is fair considering that car isn't really streetable. It has a sequential transmission and fully track prepared. The amuse and the j's racing are still street cars that happen to be fast on the track and the touge. Does asm have a street car? that would be a more fair comparison
