Would anybody be up for an EVO vs. S2000 Competition?

Open one up and take a look, the S is listed at 13.9 @ over 100mp/h (I forget the exact speed but I believe it's the same as they list for the EVO).
In addition, Stock S's have hit 13.6, I do'n't know if the 13.6 is posted here but here are a bunch of timeslips if you need proof: http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=343031
Apparently lots of EVO's have been beeten on the freeway, but that's just word of mouth (and we all know how much that's worth...) But in my personal experience with STI's we're just about even.

Thanks for proving my point
Clear enough...?
^its apparent that you joined Evom to defend and clear up some issues with the S2000, but like every forum on the net there are going to be people that you cant convince. So please for the sake of thread revival, stop posting and they will stop posting!

You would be equally pissed if we posted on our front page, out of nowhere: "the s2000 is far from a performance vehicle. Its basically just a honda civic with a different exterior, all the components are the same. Its slow and cant handle nearly as well as other cars. Its a glorified Honda Civic. Evo's now now lets talk about them! These cars are BETTER than ferrari's, porche's and even the new BUGATI"
do you understand why we're pissed? Take your slow *** S2K back to your board, S2K members are cocky b1tches.
Let me first say I think the Evo is a better all around car and I am not defending the S2000...
But the above post talks about generalizing and is totally hypocritical and ends up generalizing all S2000 owners.
Then I do not know if you were kidding but in the same way the Evo shares very little with a Lancer the S2000 shares absolutely nothing with a Civic whatsoever. Next I think you need to calm down, and realize the S2000 people did not start thing, but one guy(subsitute with IDIOT) that decided he wanted hits on his site.
Both cars do things well. Each do things better than the other...the S2000 is not slow its just that the Evo is a bit faster(in a straight line.)
You have jumped all over the one guy brave enough to come here as a benevolent ambassador with no reason other than to take your anger and superior attitude out on him. I think we should take our negative energy and focus it at the author of the article, and not assume that all S2000 owners are *******s. We are all saying how the S2000 people are "slow and arrogant" but it turns out we are just a bit faster and even more arrogant. Please calm down and see this as it really is : just one idiot, and not an entire community.

He decided to start generalizing Evo owners based on 1 persons post. So I decided to do the same and see how he liked it. Do you get it now?
