i know its not an s2k question but i need a fast answer

 

With a good driver in the Type R, it should win in a straight line. However, with amateur drivers I would bet on the SLK (automatic - the manual apparently isn't any faster in a straight line). The Type R will murder it on a track or in any combination of acceleration/ cornering.

 

this isn't the right forum (should be Car Talk). you may get a "faster" reply on a different board with more Type R owners

 

It's your lucky day...I raced one of these on the highway from about 60-100+ in my 98 Type R. He actually had momentum on me...I saw him coming and put it down. He started to pass me, but I pulled even, and then ahead. My friend was with me in his 2000 R...he raced and beat this guy as well.

The R is definitely a bit faster in a straight line...not a ton though. On a curvy road it would be ugly...on a race track, an R would absolutely murder one of those things...wouldn't even be funny.

 

yes, while type- rs have phenomenal handling characteristics- more shockingly as a ff,
slk feels like a yacht even on a mild twists...

 

An Integra Type R will win in just about any type of racing against a SLK230.

 

stock for stock.yup an ITR, no contest.

 

I will race either for 500 in SI on Hylan !! Wanna go ??
