hahahah, I'd say he's "running away" from a S2k in a race.

 

Please don't get me wrong everybody.......I Love the S2k....just haven't had time to do the mods to mine that I have already done to my GSR.....

You guys need to put this stuff into perspective. With all of the cars mentioned above being stock, the S2000 will walk away from them. It's not a fair comparison to start putting a modified GSR or ITR against a stock S2000 and say the S2000 would lose. Modify the S2000, say with a Comptech supercharger, and then do a comparison. With enough time and money, you could probably get a Yugo to spank a S2000 in a straight line.

Yeah, you probably could modify a GSR and make it quicker than a S2000 while still being cheaper, but it's still an Integra. I'm not knocking the Integra, they are great cars, but they're in a different class (economically and socially).

It's like people spending $55K on a Roush Mustang and comparing themselves to Porsches and Ferraris. Sure a Roush Mustang is quick and agile but it's still a Mustang down deep. It doesn't have that panache (I don't want to say "snob factor") that Porsches and Ferraris have.

Instead of spending $10K modifying an ITR, why not save that money, don't buy the ITR and get an S2000? You'd be getting a better all-around performer and won't see 50 of them on the road everyday.

Nice list of mods. May i ask how many lb are you running? What i'm seeing from the list is that your bottom-end is not mentioned. ARe you running Nos/turbo with stock block?

[B]Well, you gotta understand that a lot of people definitely don't have the cash to easily buy a S2k, hence, they buy integras, civic, etc.

Understandable and point well taken.

 

Well, I would love to see a time slip, but even without that...you have a turbo and NOS...umm...big surprise you can beat an S2000 . I don't think the other car is the same thing at all.

 

it's the fact that you can make an integra faster than an S2k...
elanderholm, you in denial or something?
