I'm sure many of you have seen this video - very cool one. Do any of you know anything about this car? What modifications does he have? Thanks!

Just a good driver. Most people who own cars like the CS dont know how to drive them at the limit. Maybe they are scared of destroying their car, lack of skill, whatever. Ive seen miatas CRUSH lambos and vettes at tight tracks, solely due to driver skill.

With an upgraded suspension, tires, and very mild to no engine modifications the S2000 is basically set to be a great track car, all depending on driver skill.

Yeah, I agree...the s2000 driver is just really good and the 360 driver is probably just taking it easy as his car is way more $$$. However, I was just curious as to what modifications this particular s2000 has as it sounds amazing.

That is a highly modified S2000 that is owned by a young guy in Europe. He runs on a ton of different tracks and makes videos of himself driving - usually with a passenger. There's a pretty good one of him on the Ring.

I saw a post somewhere that had pictures of the car. He stipped the interior a bit, the trunk completely and did some work to the engine. If I remember correctly, he estimated that he has upped the horse power by 30 to 40. He also has done some crazy-aggressive chassis stiffening.

And the guy is obviously a very good driver.
