You can't get tickets in an S2000? FYI,you can get a ram air t/a in convert form. Although I wouldn't,simply because the car is heavy enough with the t's. WS6 trans ams get more attention around here,largly because they are very few S2K's around here. It's all in what you want because both cars are similiarly priced. I love the way the honda sounds but to be fair,listen to the high compression ls1 that's in the gm before you make your final choice. You'll have a hard choice on your hands.

 

Not that much. The two cars also seem to have somewhat of a close breaking distance. But which car do you think is gonna suffer from more fade? So I think the WS6 would need more than just "minor" ( ) suspension mods to keep up with an S2000 on a road-course.

 

I read that article, of course.

Key term here is "race prepped" - both the S2000 and the V8's. The point is that the F-bodies and Mustangs have A LOT MORE to gain from race preparation than the S2000 - the more you modify the car's suspension and tires, the less of a cornering difference there will be, but the power difference remains.

Also, please bear in mind that the V8 cars had A LOT longer time to sort out the best setups (9 years), while S2000 is still brand new and unexplored. Last year an S2000 did pretty well in T2 class (2nd overall and 2nd fastest lap).

I was talking about STOCK cars. I guess my point is that S2000 comes stock from the factory pretty much ready for the track ("race-ready suspension, race-ready engine and race-ready brakes" as one of the magazines put it), while F-bodies require a lot more modifications in the handling department to catch up to the S2000.

 

Yup, different types of cars, but still, one of them has to be "faster" than the other one, in a staright line.
