11 V6 vs 01 Honda S2000? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

FatboyStew · 04-07-2012, 10:04 PM

A friend just bought a Honda S2000, and was talking about going to the local track. He took me for a ride in it, and I was impressed with how quick it was. I took him for a ride in my Camaro, and he thinks I would take him in the quarter. My Camaro is a manual, and is stock, except for an Air Raid. After riding in the S2000, I think it would be a very close race, and think he may even have an advantage. He said it's a bit slow off the line, and doesn't really start pulling until the RPMs build. He didn't get on it from a dead stop; he waited until the RPMs were around 6,000, and then stomped it. It threw me back pretty hard, and climed hard and fast. He hit second right at 9,000 RPMs, and got a little chirp. The Honda is bone stock. I must say, I really like the car. It is beautiful, corners amazingly well, and has more oomph than I expected. It's a 2001, and is bone stock. So, what do you think? Personally, I think we could run several times, and split wins, depending on how we each drive on a particuliar run.

I would put my bets on the s2k.

DarkneSS · 04-08-2012, 09:23 AM

Driven properly I think the V6 wins.

Your right on drivers race. I saw two at the track last weekend, ran mid 14s.

Probably a driver's race. You can never tell how well maintained a 11-year-old used car has been maintained. They were around 14.0-14.2 when new, and with your CAI you should be about the same. Only true way to find out is to take it to the track.

IROCanSS · 04-08-2012, 09:45 AM

Problem with the S2K is it needs to be like 25,000 RPM for it to have any power. Once the V-tec kicks in tho, they are pretty fun! They are just hard to launch because the power band is like 7200 RPM or something crazy like that.

Get a good jump on him off the line and hes yours.

Good luck!

When maintaining the maintenance on the car for maintenace records, how often should the maintanece be done to maintian it properly?

S2000 has the advantage (IF) the car is in excellent running condition.

asrautox · 04-08-2012, 11:46 AM

They are high 13's cars on their best day and can be as slow as 15's if driven improperly. They are meant for the circuit or autox, however, and are hugely satisfying to drive when the roads get curvy..

lexlueger · 04-08-2012, 07:53 PM

The only time it isn't in Vtec at those crazy rpms is for like half a second from a dig. Having power up top in the power band is better when you want to go fast, you are in the upper rpm band for the whole time you are gunning a car. Just imagine if the LLT didn't have power up top.
