C Street anyone?

Looks like the S2000 will be classed in C Street next year. How competitive will it be? Thoughts?

At Lincoln, the fastest C/Street, a Miata, would have been second in B/Street. The fastest S2000 finished 17th, just ahead of a Solstice and 2 positions away from a trophy. In C/Street he would have been 21st, 8 positions away from a trophy.
5 of the 10 cars at the bottom of B/Street where S2000s. In C/Street, they would have been in the exact same place.
S2000s where scattered throughout the field in STR. The fastest was 4th. There were 3 others in the top 10, in 8th, 9th, and 10th. All driving way better than I ever could. Forum member Mr. Sideways won STR in a Mazda.
Whether it is the top competitors moving on or to other cars, on the surface, it looks like the days of an S2000 being a dominant Street class autocrosser seem to be over.
The S2000's F-series engine is basically a K-series on steroids. Modified they are pretty much the same. Whether an F-series or K-series under the hood, the S2000 is the only RWD Honda, and the K-series...not including that weird K20C1 in the Civic Type R (Inside The Honda K20C1 (Type R) Cylinder Head With 4 Piston Racing) is one of the highest performing engines available (4 Piston Racing's 1,000hp-Plus Honda K Series Build, http://blog.wiseco.com/the-500-horsepower-naturally-aspirated-k24-engine-by-4piston.

Good points, all.
I think this discussion has to be predicated on the ND2 falling into B Street. Personally, I think it will be an overdog in either B or C Street-- using DavidNJ's logic, the winning ND1 in C Street would have finished 2nd in B Street in 2017 at Lincoln. Add 25 hp and I would think it would crush either class.
