enough said.
I've seen alot or really ignorant coments about the evo in here...alot of people dont have a clue and should not talk at all.
1. The evo is not a drag car.
2. The S2000 does not handle better.
3. The s2000 is not more fun to drive. 13:1 2.1 turn lock to lock steering plus 12+ years of rally racing put into the suspension owns you.
4. The s2000 is not faster in a race track.
5. The wing and body on the evo are not rice. they are specifically designed for brake cooling and downforce.
6. The engine is bullet proof..and whoever said that mitsu is dumb for needing 18+ psi to make 230awhp omg, i dont know where to start. you are dumb.
7. The egince is bulletproof.
8. Completely different cars. Both extremely fun to drive.. s2k looks better and has honda reliability.
9. The evo wasnt designed to be a nice looking car with a nice interior.. Its a very raw race car.

It is quite obvious that the s2k handles better then the Evo by two-folds. It is obvious that Honda has a better reputation, liability, and longevity. 
The wing on the body makes no difference that is noticable. Come on now, it's mainly for show. If we are talking about F1 race cars, then your hypothesis would become a theory. 
The s2k is not faster on the track 
. This is is vague hypothesis. Depends on what kind of modifications an automobile has. I'm acquaited with a few s2000 drivers who can trample an Evolution on the track. Opinions and more opinions.
anyways,

as far as the track it will depend on the driver.
and for the one with the comment that the evo is a race car please, neither of these car are.
One is a sports sedan
the other is a roadster
Race car has roll cage, no interior, no air bags, harnesses not seatbelts. most dont have glass windows or windshield, performance far out of the reach of these two cars.
just because you take them to the track does not mean they are a race track, i have seen minivans at and svu at the track do you catch my drift oh wait that is a race term!
And the engine being bullet proof?
THERE IS NO SUCH THING!
screw up the timing the a/f or the boost and tell me how bullet proof it is. Everything created by men can be destroyed by men or nature. think about that for a second.

Let's see - Mitsubishi Evo- (translated Jap Dodge neon on steriods with a case of Auomobile leprosy - parts just keep falling off) or
Honda S2000 - (translated 9K rev street legal race machine cousin of the Acura NSX)
Gee - real hard choice -
not!

yeah the thread is kinda gay. the cars are so completely different. i was looking at both before i bought my s2000. i found an s2000 for a good price so that's what i bought. would i have gone with an evo if i could have found one for the same price? probably. this has a lot to do with previous DSM experience though. i also looked at an STi and if i could have afforded it, i would have bought it on the spot.
now that i have the car... i wish it had more power. that is my only complaint, but then again, i think that about every car.
with the evo, you can spend $200-$300 on it every month and by the end of the year you'll have a very quick car. but with the s2k the only way you're going to make real power is with forced induction. that's a $4-5k entry fee, which is a little much for me to throw down at one time.
btw, kane that's a very nice looking setup.
