It seems very obvious to me that your mind is pretty much set on the S2K. You really can't compare the two of them without test driving both.

dude...
you have no clue what your talking about!!! !! that being said. there is not a chance in hell a stock s2000 could handle anywhere near that of any EVOLUTION ever made! id like to see the s2000 get a .97 g skidpad and 72 mph swalom. and that is the evo being tested by a magazine! yeah,l sure ive heard stock s2000's hitting a high 13, and its true the mags tested them at 14.2's, but the evos been tested at 13.8, on a ****ty track. an intake and exhaust and a good drive would net 12.8's in the evo. the diff's dont hvae to be replaced hardly ever. still havent ever heard of any 9-10 second s2k's

Sounds like you already got your mind made up. What is this thread about, if you don't like the way the evo looks don't buy it. Don't base your decision on speed, becuase you can make anything fast. I don't think the s2000 can out handle the evo at all, but that has yet to be seen, becuase I have not driven it. All you have done is rag on the evo and protect the s2k. So go to crappy honda and get your s2k. There is like 10 in my town (all old people except one youngster). It is about as limited as the new hummer. I say evo all the way My opinion only. Go buy your sup'd up civic

well joe it's obvious you aren't into the evo just looking to bust someones ***** in the site, ever comment made towards the evo being better than the s2000 you had a rebuttle for it, we gave you opinions on why the evo is better than the s2000 but you go ahead and buy that honda

alright, keep this discussion under a civil manner. NO NAME-CALLING!!! I don't want this to be closed....

That being said, you said you want a "true JDM look"... The EVO 8 we are getting is almost the same looking car as the JDM EVO 8...except the lights or the badges maybe

Joe, there is a video (Japanese "Best Motoring") floating around the internet with a EVO VII matching against the S2K, both driven by professional driver in Japan. That is what most people are refering to.

I don't think anybody is doubting the S2K is a "bad" handling car. However, you have to consider the fact that coming out of the corner, the EVO will have the useful torque to accelerate much quicker while the S2K is still building up the RPM for the VTEC to kick in.

Handling/suspension setting-wise, I would say they're both very good (I rode in an EVO V and S2K before). They are different cars with very different characteristics

Did they not design the front end for maximum performance. If you put a body kit on, will it affect the performance.

Hailz!

I'll call him a name. Joe is a PUTZ!

A cheap *****-mongering Putz who posts a bunch of crap and then tells everyone to chill when we call him on it.

I hope the thread does get closed down... this thread cheapens this forum. Joe is a loney loser who has not got a fact in his head.
But he does have alot of crap comming out his ****.


He is a TROLL.
