I raced once in my Integra R, I knew these things had more torque but I just wanted to test the power, we was in front of me going up a slip road and I guess he wanted to loose me in the precess or something, I saw him starting to pull away so I dropped it down to 3rd into VTEC, and kept behind him but he wasn't going anywhere after that not pulling but I weren't gaining either.

We came to some curves and by now we were in different lanes, we were doing about 60 and I guess the cars wieght was a burden on the handling as his ass-end started to push wide crossing into my lane, I'm confident a S2000 would beat it with a similar BHP rating and still being lighter than the v dub. It's got the extra torque but I guess that's needed to shift the extra wieght around.

Ive walked an R32 (friend's) at any speed, 0, 10, 50, 100+

THose cars arent even close to competition. THey are nice on paper, terrible in reality. They feel heavier than his father's 300C. (my friends father with the R32)

Moded vs moded, there is no contest, an R32 would destroy any s2k. The TT upgrade for that car is insane.

I think they may run a little harder with some more miles on them. They are still relatively new.

r32 are slow, from a stop, from a roll wherever, in a drag/street race they are slow. low 15 sec cars. i raced one in both my crx with ls/vtec and my s2000 and it wasn't even close in either cars. even from a go the r32 didn't stand a chance. put the r32 on a road course, and its a different story

I raced a stock one from 30 to 80. I had a few car lengths on him. From a stop he had a great launch and had a car on me but I past him by end of second and pulled another few car lengths. Not very impressive. A stock S is quicker than it.

I've heard both sides of the story. Some people say R32 would walk on S2k at 120mph+.
lol....maybe with the top down.
