The typical accent here isn't country, you now only find that in remote areas of the state( i.g eastern kentucky). Now, that I have cleared my background up, I'll move back to the discussion. Honda's S2000 is a great vehicle many can agree on that. My personal opinion would be that beating a S2000 in a straight line is not hard. I wouldn't consider it a kill because thats not the purpose of the car. The purpose of the car is to take those low speed bends. Now, take for example the SLK55.... My buddy then gained alot of respect for that vehicle, considering that a stock s2k could handle that well. Ever since then I have always respected that car. Thats why when I hear people killing S2Ks, its hard for me to believe. |
That is why going to track day, really shows you what you got and how well you drive. Last track day, I was getting busted by small Miata's and Lotus, even though I have a bigger engine, they handle much better through tight turns (racing slicks also make a big difference). It comes down to how well you can drive your car and the ability to get though the track. I have seen S2K's perform poorly on a track and some that do well. Mostly has to do with the driver.
