I'm really sorry to hear that... I wouldn't have pushed it with any other cars (besides the evo) around. I just don't get how someone died there... you can drive 15+ over the posted limit before it starts to get hairy. 
All of the 57-91 and 91-57 ramps are WAY off on the posted limits. I suppose its for safety, but its god awful in traffic when people actually slow to 40 for them.

sometimes bad luck is taking toll. oil, sand, water can be present on the blind side when you're taking that fast curve and there you go. it was actually happened more than twice for some of my friends and the result is cars totaled but it can be worse.
good luck and good kill.

in my younger days i used to take on-ramps crazy fast too, but now i know better...spinning out at high speed is seriously not fun at all.

nice kill, i beat a stock evo8 from 1st to 4th Roll. pull him about 1 1/2 car to 2,but don't know about the evo mr now w/ 10 x-hp and 6 speed.
The MR has the same HP as any evo of the same year. The evo IX has more hp that the Evo VIII, but there is no difference between the MR and other Evo's.
Here's the differences between the MR and other evo's.
Aluminum roof
6 speed
blistein suspension
wheels
Idiotic gauge pack
headlamps
bumper
That should be about it. On the IX SE's you get everything except the 6 speed and blistein's.

I don't know much about Evos other than the fact I want one for my daily driver.

The mags were wrong.
In 04 the RS was released with a front LSD, that was different than other models because they didn't have it.
In 05, all models got the lsd and a 10.5 hotside. The MR was released, with the stuff I listed in other thread but also had a metal diverter valve vs the others having a plastic one. (less prone to leaks)
In 06 all models got the metal diverter valve, 10.5 hotside, and mivec.
That's pretty much the performance enhancements. Some mags were claiming in 2005 that base evo's had 276 hp and the mr's had 281 or something like that, but it wasn't true... They had the same engine with the same turbo and ecu.

Try it again with someone who has a few mods and see what happens
From now on, whenever I hear about a S2000 losing to an Evo, I'm just going to use "Yeah, its only cause they were turbo. Let them try a boosted S next time"
