"would" have no problem?
So you have yet to do it.
Got it.
No idea what you're talking about. '12 ms3 here and it is fine all the way up to redline. I would have no problem destroying an s2k.

that 'pull' feel is called torque 
and no, we dont have any of that.
I'm a bit surprised by this as well. But cool story and glad to see you put him in his place
From what I hear those cars are weird, and in order to get the fastest times in those cars you have to shift like 2krpms before redline bc the turbo is so small and just dies out so it'd be better to short shift it. Not sure at all though, never driven one before.
but I agree with SkateForGirl, once he gets the tune, you wont be seeing anything but tail lights.

Fool, I'm run'n a Honda 2000.
That's correct. I don't condone the needlessly wreckless driving of street racing.
If you wanna mouth off to me, bro, lets just cut the shit and settle it at Racewars. I got 3 spoon engines on order and enough NOS to blow myself up, period.

See my sig - I've got an AP1 that was ridden hard and put away wet, and a pristine, bought it off the lot, '10 MS3 as my daily driver.
The MS3 pulls like crazy up to about 5500rpm and then stops pulling. From 40mph start, I'd bet on the s2000

I actually had a 08.5 MS3 before I bought my AP1. It takes somewhat of a different touch than any Honda. You don't take them to redline, unless you reflash and swap the turbo. They pretty much fall flat around 5500. Mine was pretty modded, a lot of bolt ons makes a huge difference with that car. There's no way my s2k could keep up with my MS3, even on a track. The MS3 handles extremely well, especially with some GT-Spec bracing.

What "pretty big" differences are you aware of that would directly relate to the '12s pulling to 7k and not falling flat at 5500rpm?
