Did i see the s2000 on the closing credits of driven Chn4 thursday, for a showing next week with civic R ?

 

Yes you did! They are putting it head to head on the track against the CTR.

Just bringing it to the top, as a reminder.....

 

so is it on tonight?

 

Yep, C4, 8:00pm

 

As far as I know they are comparing modern day hot hatches...civic type R, clio 172 etc against sports cars like the S2000.

So anyone on here think that the S2000 will be beaten by the Civic type R or 172 ??

Serious predictions please...think they might have some Seat Cupra thing as well.

 

Beaten in what respect? You'd have a hell of a job getting the roof off a Civic type R or Clio 172

 

OK first off this is Driven we are talking about.... alright, I may be somewhat biased against the program since the 360 Modena group test but heaven knows they have made some wierd comparisons in the past.

Ian - I'm sure you can regale us with the Camaro debacle....

I fully expect the S2000 to be panned and Driven to announce that a Seat Arosa 3 cylinder diesel is the only car you'll ever need.

On the other hand any footage of an S2000 and CTR being given a good thrashing is well worth watching

 

Are civic type R's not soft tops then

Just interested in what you guys think will be the outcome tonight. I have an Elise 160 at the moment and although would not have any doubts about that being quicker on the track than the mentioned hot hatches I have no real knowledge of the S2000.

I would imagine that it will be slightly quicker. The handling can not be worse that the Civic and it has more power but as mentioned I have no idea.

Has anyone taken there S on the track..how does it do ?
