I raced my buddies 00 Type-T the other day 60-110...he almost passed me but couldn't...I was like what the heck.

I get home and check the oil almost a quart low...thank goodness.

He thinks he would have passed me eventually...I think not

 

Your making us look bad, now back out there with the right amount of oil and smoke him.

 

i had that happen.. racing a new CL type S.. sucks cuase he thought he beat me.. pull over and sure enough oil was at the L.

 

You gotta race him again man, before he start to rant. I always have a quart in the trunk for emergency.

 

Agreed... I smoked a Type R and he knew how to drive. Get some oil, also add octane boost could not hurt.

 

I raced my friends 01 type r from a stop and beat him about 2 weeks ago. Funny thing is today we installed his NOS in his car and it doesn't seem all that much faster, i didn't get a chance to race him with it though. I also raced this guy he knows who has a JDM intregra type r motor in a 92-95 hatch. The this has basic bolt ons and is gutted. The first time i raced him he beat me by less then a 1/4's car length, then i let another friend of mine who is really good at racing race him and he beat the hatch by about a car length.

Quarter mile times for many R owners are mid 14's -- 14.4-14.6 is not unccommon, keep in mind that is about the same or even faster than many of the s2000 people here. (although the trap speed is usually 3-5 mph slower).

With 4400 track miles on my 01 ITR and 1500 street miles on my s2000 I would put money on the ITR being faster throught the 1/4 -- it sure *feels* faster from a stop to about 100 -- especially with the lighter kosei K1-s and hoosiers on it.

I can see how a well driven ITR could beat an s2000 on a roll, especially if the s2000 driver was not agressive enough with the cog selection at the start.

 

i have them both and to make it a fair match up you have to have at least 4k on both of them, drivers equal, and most r's i c on the track dont make it to mid 14's so 1/4 times might be close but 1 mile times would definetly go to the s2k.. Now on a circuit course i think i would go to the itr, since it takes a really good driver to take sharp turns at high speed on a rwd car.

 

It all depends on the driver, but pound for pound, an S2000 will outclass an Integra Type-R.

I ran across a yellow Type-R with plates that read "Suzuka" on Geary Ave in San Francisco (many stoplights) a few weeks ago. We took off on every light, and on every light I'd pull on him at least 2-3 car lengths before shifting to third.

This guy's car was pristine, sounded great, and I must say that I liked his choice in vanity plates.
