I personally dont run autocross so I couldnt comment on that what so ever but I could say that for what each car is they are great cars. (s2k and srt4)

My personal thoughts:
For the price the SRT4 is the best buy in its class. Not my personal style though.

The s2k is a great looking car but if I was in that price range I would most likly shop somewhere else due to the lack of power it provides. If the performance is not high on the list then it would be shopped.

Now to comment to someone else. There was a comment about the s2k making more unboosted tq at 2.0L (isn't it really 2.2L?) than any other production car. Maybe this is true, I dont know. What I do know is that when it comes down to it more tq on a smaller unboosted engine vs a stock turbo or arguing about hp per liter (not that it has come up yet) doesnt really matter in talks about races. I will agree that if that fact is true, not doubting you but I have not researched it, then it must have great engineering and would be no argument in a discussion about engine design. But at the end of the 1320 all that matters is who got there first.

kEV... I never claimed you WERE a leader... only stated that you SHOULD be... when you represent your website, if you want it to be respected and sought after... you have to put your "immature teenager" mentality aside for a couple minutes a day if that is at all possible... Go blow your wad on some mature websites or something... because whether you agree, or not... or simply want to... your website WILL FAIL if you do not treat it as a business...


and NO WHERE will you see the owner of a business... teenager or not... acting the way you do. Plain and simple kev...

YOU'RE A PUNK!!

(don't let "running" a website trick you into believing you are something you are not... you represent the website... the site does not represent you... idiot.)

For those that are member of s2ki.com and/or S2000 owners, please refrain from stooping to the level that this troll wants to see you at.

KevPSR, you're a troll. If you have something worthwhile to contribute to this S2000 community, please do so. If not, take yourself somewhere else.

KevPSR I live in Florida. Maybe you can bring your fast lunch box and run my slow s2000. What part of N. Florida?

Honestly I think KevPSR is getting a bad wrap here. First ppl say we are all the same person, then they say the videos are faked, and then they continue to say certain cars can not beat other cars (or should not or would not).

Kevin stood up for the videos and his site. He is not a troll, everything on the site is real. S2000 owners made comments so Kev responded plain and simple and now everyone jumps on him which is not right no matter how silly either sides might have been.


I think we can leave this thread at this:

the site is real
the videos are real
the races are real
some ppl like the s2000 over the srt4 and some dont
both are nice cars for what they are

Adam... if only you were the owner/representative of the site...


I appreciate the fact that you have answered most questions maturely. Everyone knows the site is real, and so are the videos. If you read back... the only real discrepancy that riled everyone up, was whether or not the car was modified, or stock. Everyone could see that it was not... even though originally someone claimed that they were. THAT and that alone is what started the debate. Kev has to realize that a lot of people on this site and every other have nothing better to do, and get enjoyment out of instigating... he needs to refrain from getting wrapped up in such cantor, and stooping from that level... because currently... he may be trying to DEFEND the car and site... but he is actually making it look WORSE!...

But o well, this is just turning into a flame battle. I'm sure in person, your a cool guy, so I'm done arguing.

CLIFF NOTES: I think S2000 are hott, but not up to the speed of the SRT-4. Some think the S2000 handles better, while I have seen otherwise(which of course is mainly due to driver). I got videos of my boys Z28s beating up on plenty of single turbo supras, but o well...that's a whole 'other story. I can't type, but I really don't care. If anyone wants to come to Florida for some races, come on down!
What part of florida??!! Obviously you haven't been getting challenged by the right people or drivers! There's NO WAY IN HELL THAT A 03 BONE STOCK SRT-4 IS FASTER IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR ON TRACK THEN A STOCK S2000!!! And thats from a roll... out the hole you have no chance! I havent even had a side by side race w/1!!(and ive raced like 20 of them...there always behind!) In fact my friend has an 03 w/stage 1 and he still is 1/2 a car back! Why dont you stop picking on some old man that isan't even raceing, and race someone who knows how to drive! I would love to meet up w/you!!!!!!!!!!
