Default who would win?

I am planning on buying either a WS6 TA 2000-2002 or an S2000 either 2000-2001. I just want to know from u experienced drivers who would win in a race and which one is faster. No one I know has an S2000 or raced one. I know the WS6 has like 70 more HP, but the weight difference and the VTEC. Which one is faster??

I think stock for stock the WS6 will win, those mofo had massive low end torque.. The s2000 is well balnced car speed, handling and looks. So my vote goes to s2k..

The WS6 would destroy the S in any straight line acceleration. Minor susp mods and it would kill it on a road course as well.

Stock for stock and mod for mod the WS6 will kill the S2K each and every time... But you have to ask yourself if being the faster car is really the most important thing... I have been in both cars, and I can tell you that the WS6 feels like a tank with a huge motor strapped to it, whereas the S2K feels like a go-cart with a mosquito up it's butt...

IMO, speed isn't everything, and aside from strait-line speed, the S2K is just a better car...

i know, that's what i was thinking as i typed, but they don't provide any other interval data - say 70-60, 60-50 etc....

take it for what it's worth......which may be nothing

I'm actually surprised that the WS6 stops that well.. You'd think that with the weight advantage, the S2K would be a lot easier to slow down...
