Default s2000 vs. civic

Is this the video you were talking about where a civic beats the s2000.

You're right, this vid makes me want to either sell the s2k or buy the Rotrex as soon as it's finished!

As for the civic, remember, it's still a civic. It's FWD, less attractive and not a convertible!

yes all Hondas come in DBW as of 2006 I believe. I may be wrong but the Civics now do yes.

I dunno, seemed pretty closely matched to me, there were a few driver errors (3:59 or so) on the S2000 that put the Civic ahead and it was over from there but that was only on the final lap, on that straight stretche, they seemed matched for acceleration.

^ i agree it almost looked like he took that wide turn to avoid a crash... cause the civic was coming on the inside pretty fast... i would say it was driver error... but who cars... its a civic... been there done that lol

i guess you never watched fast and furious?

winning by an inch or by a mile winning is a winning!

I attribute the loss to the top being down.
