wow.. that a low ass mileage on the 00 s2000 only 32k. damn.
but probably something is wrong with that S.
Go to a dealer and test it out the new one.

ive found that vtec change over is more pronounced on the s2k than the ITR. the ITR is one helluva car, not much of a match for a s2k in any performance aspect.

not sure where you got those numbers man

an s2000 can run about a 13.9 at 101 at the 1/4 mile
an ITR can run about a 14.5 at 95

with the right drivers of course

the ITR is louder and has more dramatic VTEC engagement

i had a 2001 ITR, that i sold, the s2k is way nicer

lol.. are you questioning my numbers?? they are not all that off.. and yes they can be faster.. but come on.. that would take all the best drivers to drive every car and get numbers.. also that every s2k are not gonna be the same .. slightest difference could shave or add .00001sec time.. but oh well it was close enough..

i guess that guy that ran 13.9 was lighter in weight than the guy that ran the 14.0 in my post lol or had no wind and cooler weather

also if that car has soo little mileage for its age.. that means the ecu could need to reawaken.. and drive it hard to get it to learn new fuel trims. cuz if it was babied than its gonna perform for how it was driven before.. ecu do learn the way you drive

I had a stock Integra Type-R for 6 years, and I loved it. I test drove a 2000 S2000 yesterday with 32k miles. The car handled and braked well, but I was unhappy with the straight-line performance. My Type-R was faster, and I was expecting more especially above 6-7k . Two questions please. Is it possible that the car I test drove was beat-on (that's my guess), and secondly would I be happier with the second generation coming from a Type-R? By the way, my comment is not a dig against the S2000 or Honda. Since having the Type-R, I know that Honda and Acura produce great products. Thank you.

You probably will disappointed to drive the ap2, ap1 are more raw and brute as it.

stock for stock the itr is not even near the speed at the 1320, without knowing what you have in your car, i can't comment on it.
my last honda has way more torque and power too, i ended up "giving up" those number and brought the S(which i am way more happier btw)

the insurance should be cheaper on the s2k as well
