I've never heard of any GS-400's doing under 6 seconds 0-60, so I guess the Honda will be the clear winner!

i have run my friend with his GS400 with suspension. I barely pull him. We went to the track and he ran 14.1 to my 13.9. So very close. If the s2k driver mess' up once...its over for him.

How are you launching? If you can get a great start, there really shouldn't even be any competition from the Lexus. You should also pull away at higher speeds too.

The GS 400 does 0-60 in 5.8 secs. according to Lexus which seems to be pretty accurate and it is an automatic so it's hard to mess up. With a good launch the S should win without too much trouble. The GS 400 is a very capable car especially when considering its size and weight.

Hmmm...don't C & D, MT, and R & T routinely post performance stats in the back of their mags? You could then compare the S2000 against all other cars!

I'm just wondering...out of all things, why are you curious about acceleration vs. a GS400? It's hard to imagine two more different cars. Regardless of theoretical stats, I'd put my money on the Lexus given average drivers (the Lexus drives like it's on autopilot), but the S2K is MUCH more fun.
