WHAT?? S2000 slower than my Integra!!?? [Archive] - Beyond.ca - Car Forums

Yes, I think its true........I went down to Calgary Honda to pick up a part for Roland and one of my friends there let me test drive one of there used S2000's. I must say that the car was made for corners, driving was absoloutly solid and very balanced. But I am pretty disapointed in the flat out acceleration. It felt slow compaired to my car. Hmm.......for 240hp I would have expected more! But damn nice tho :thumbsup: Felt so much better than driving my beater :rofl:

stange unless u modded your car.. perhaps the demo car prolly is over used and its not working properly... hehe after all a 5sec car acceleration should be noticable..:dunno:

the S2000 feels like it has no power until you hit VTEC.
I still :love: it.
Funnest car I've ever driven.

I would have assumed it would have been the gtp...being able to push a car to its absolute limit and never knowing what might happen must be such a rush:D

Line up with one, you'll be fairly surprised :D. Those S2K's feel slow, but they're awful fast. I thought SLK 32 would roast the Comptech S/C S2000, but it was dead even when ran side by side!

Why do people say such stupid shit?? Buddy, are you going to pull up to a S2k at the lights and invite him over to the track on Saturday to see whos fastest?? Or are you gonna punch it then and there and see who wins? Seriously, unless your carrying a inflatable track with you at all times, who cares about track stuff. 99% of your encounters will be on the street, not on the track.

Silver Streak owns an S2000. He should bring it to track day and then see who is fastest ;) S2000 is a track car, it will molest the Integra.

I'm not sure where he got that. I commented on how good the s2k handled and how it was so much nicer and better than my beater. I just said that if I lined up with one at a set of lights it better be prepaired to look at my tail lights.

Seks

11-28-2002, 09:50 AM

Just want to point this out for the millionth times (ok not really but...)

s2000's are not meant to be a drag cars. You really gotta launch those suckers hard (and I'm talking about 6500 or so rpm launch) to get a good start. They are excellent from a roll though.

LaughingTiger

11-28-2002, 08:03 PM

Still, the s2000 is one of Honda's most impressive engines...

240hp on a 2L engine.................Shit....Imagine what they could do w/ turbo's, supers, or even built a V8....

11-28-2002, 10:44 PM

smell the rubber never said he could beat an s2000 in anyway. he just said that track skills don't help you on the street.

jeff: Im not that stupid. of course an s2000 could beat me on a road course, but if you read the thread from the beginning you will see that this whole time the issue has been that s2000 are not extremely fast in terms of acceleration. no one has been claiming to be faster than the s2000 on the track. weather or not you think strait line performance is important it makes a huge difference in the fun of driving a car if it goes like hell when you step on it.

buh_buh

11-29-2002, 01:05 AM

actually, track skills DO help you on the street.
You learn your car's limits on the track, and you can utilize that on the street.
Driving on the street isn't all about driving in a straight line.

11-29-2002, 01:55 PM

Shit I fell way behind on this post...
As for the S2000's optimum launch, I could swear I've read somewhere that in order to get the advertised 5.5 sec 0-60 launch, you need to rev to 8000rpm and go. In my own personal opinion, I dont think a S2k would last all that long if you have launch at such a high rpm.

Audi Kid

11-29-2002, 02:40 PM

Yeah thats the problem with those S2000's, you really don't get the power into you hit high revs. Still an amazing car though, I'd take a 350Z over it any day though.

a S2000 is faster than a 15 second car even though its not a drag car.
I don't know how your top end is, but that's where all the power is in the s2k. So I don't think he was really racing you.

ConVict

11-29-2002, 05:46 PM

Well my 15.0 is underrated.. That was with 18's and a horrible 60 Foot... All my power is up high I am turbo non the less! Man I kept with a Bran new Ram Air Trans Up High
I have seen Turboed Probes pull 14.1 and 14.2 with traps of 93mph And I weigh about 2000 pounds

SilverStreak

11-29-2002, 06:15 PM

The best stock times of the S2000 is 5.5 0-60 and 13.9 1/4 mile.
This is at sea level of course but by no means are they slow especially punching it at deerfoot speeds.

ConVict

11-29-2002, 06:20 PM

How much do s2k's wiegh ? Because with their low TQ numbers woudnt a passenger, or groceries in the back REALLY affect you ?

Yes a fat passenger would hamper performance. :thumbsdow

What do you mean your 15.0 is underrated?

That is your best time isn't it? Sure 93mph is high for a 15.0 but that is the BEST you have ever ran at the track so I don't get it.

And there is no way your car weighs less than 2000lbs.

11-30-2002, 02:19 PM

It is underrated BECAUSE... that was my first time at the track, I try to tell my self I am a good driver but I boged pretty much everytime I luanched the whole night..My best 60 foot was a 2.38 and if i dropped it to a respectable 2.25 i would drop at least .3-4 of a second... My times got better and better the whole night cause I was learning.... I had SUPER heavy 18's on... My back left tire was deflated ( due to a metal spike I got on the way there ) didnt deflate my fronts for better times, I had a pretty large tank of gas in (70%).... And 95 mph was my average Trap Speed... Just that 15.0 at 93.4 was my best run! I got the same traps speeds as probes running 14.2 with there 14 inch wheels on..... So I BELIEVE its underrated!
my stock wieght is 2600.. with mechanical seats that wiegh a 100 pounds each. Which i took out and put racing seats... No spare tire or jack, no interior panels no nothing after the front seats.. back seat removed... stuff like antenna motor and antenna was removed, back motor for the wiper all removed! so i just guessed at a CLOSE to 2000 pounds...SO its probably more like 2300
Also after my track day I had MSD ignition and coil installed and a cone filter ( not saying its much ) But thats when I raced the S2000

buh_buh

11-30-2002, 02:35 PM

it can't be underrated if you didn't actually run the car.:rolleyes:
Ive seen a guy with a Prelude run 18's, but does that mean his run is underrated because typical times are in the low-mid 15's? No, it means he's a shitty driver. And I'm pretty sure your seats don't weigh 100lbs each, since most stock seats probably weigh 50lbs at the most. And even then that is a VERY high estimate on how much weight you lost. And according to Edmunds.com, your car actually weighs 2731lbs. So I'm guessing your car probably weighs 2550-2600lbs.
And just because you have mods that you haven't put on, doesn't mean you should run any faster.
I could say my 15 is underrated because I have a 600hp (for example:rolleyes: ) motor sitting in my garage. I should be running 10's when I strip my whole car to its bare chassis and throw this motor in.

CRXguy

11-30-2002, 03:06 PM

pulling out interior parts dont mean shit. do you know where most of the weight is from? sound deadening material. i removed most of that crap in the hatch of my car, and it was more than the rear compartment, spare tire/jack, rear panels, and speakers combined.

even if you did remove that junk, you still WONT be close to 2000lbs!

szw

11-30-2002, 04:25 PM

that shit is hard to scrape off

ConVict

11-30-2002, 04:26 PM

I said i was guessing... adn when thinking of it better its around 2300 ... I looked on the STRIPE on my car and IT says 2617....
I didnt say my 15 was underrated because i got new mods AFTER... i said i had new mods on my car when i raced the s2000
...
And yes it was my BAD driving that got me the 15.0 and other factors... But i know if i practised it would drop quite a bit!
just like if a guy with a 500 hp viper shows up... and pulls a 18.. of course its UNDERRATED cause he cant drive worth shit...
you know what underrated means... means thats the TIME you got is slow, but the CAR can do better !!!! Thats what I meant by it...
Look I dont care if you dont think I can take an S2000 whoppty do
no one believed me when i posted about the Ram Air TransAM
and no one believes me about my Fe3 swap...
Doesnt mean it isnt true... and doesnt mean i got proof coming out of my ass about street encounters...
didnt think you guys would get defensive about it...
If worse comes to worse we can write a rain cheque and we can get witness's next time and ill race one... I DONT CARE
my posts always get into this stuff... people think my probe blows ass... and i can understand that! But I am not LIEING to you guys:nut:

Whats the trap speed on the 1/4 for a S2000

Again at sea level, the S2000 trap speed is 99mph.

So if you raise the elevation 3700 feet... You think it might lower to lets see... um.. maybe... 93-95 MPH :rolleyes:

Originally posted by ConVict

But according to your evidence that is supposed to be supporting your argument, it proves that you did NOT in fact beat the S2k by a lot (if you even did) and if that's possible, then there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY you beat a "Brand new Ram Air Trans"

just for the record anybody can pull a crappy time in a fast car.

but i saw an s2000 run mid 15's all night at race city.
convict i dont think your going to improve on your 1/4 time by very much if any. you are front frive and turbo so you probably dont have to many traction problems, therefore you have no real reasons to think that you will get to much faster.

ConVict

11-30-2002, 11:43 PM

First Off I said I was in traffic.. And it wasnt a full out race! If he doesnt know how to drive, or is to pussy to punch it in traffic that aint my problem! is my experience was it didnt keep up, and it didnt! I will take a lie detector test! I had TO much traction at the track... Ill show you if you want me to send you the video of me racing.. I sqweele , it catchs, i bog BAD.... happened all night!
But this is all bench shit, my car is parked so lets just leave this for next season..I wont go no where :thumbsup:
Also with adding the mods I did WOULD have dropped my quarter down, not sure how much! But no one in here can tell me an MSD IGNITION, COIL, and CONE FILTER wont help out even a little bit...

Shit rage raced a Probe in his turboed porshe on deerfoot and IT kept up... you guys just think probes are slow and are being pretty closeminded I think... I really am not arguing just trying to get you guys to see but I dont think its going to happen !
If you like you can ask Mike ( AUDIKID ) I roasted his 5 cyl when i was stock... before i took the boost from 6 to 15, before the msd, before my exhaust, before my wieght reduction and messing with my timing!

dude saying that you have too much traction is a pretty lame excuse. to solve that problem all would have to launch at a higher rpm, or learn how to launch properly. out of your list of mods you stated that will help you next year; msd ignition- no, but it will make your car run smoother, coil- sorry but hell no, air filter- yes that will help ( about 3-5hp). all in all learning how to launch is the only thing that will currently help your time.
i have installed an aftermarket coil on my car- no performance gain, i have helped my buddy install his msd digital 6 ignition system on his 96 stang and it is a nice system for tuning but no noticiable performance gains in the 1/4
what kind of intake system are oyu using right now? stock? shoud have improves you intake before your exhaust. or at least that would be what i would have done

Convict: I'm not saying you are a liar or anything. I don't think you really have a reason to lie. From your experience, you beat an S2000 and you beat a new Trans Am. That's fine. It's this "underrated" 15.0 that I'm wondering about.

I personally think it's a silly comment. If that is the best time you ran at the track, that is the best time you ran at the track - period. It doesn't matter that you had heavy rims, a full tank of gas, no traction, or whatever. There are really NO excuses. Hell, every time I have ran my car it has been with a full interior (including spare), 17" rims, and a heat soaked blower. Could I run faster with 14's? Most likely. Could I run faster with a stripped interior? Probably. How about if I put ice on my manifold and blower before every race? I think so. But the bottom line is I have never done it.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't matter. What does matter will have a timeslip to back it up.

Well ya thats what I thought... We raced on Deerfoot and was PERFECTLY even... I thought it was just the 6 cause i knew the v8 were fast... But we pulled to the lights and he was :drool: about how I kept up cause he has the V8... Then we raced off the lights and I kept pretty good... He had a car length by 4th...
So I think he cant drive... Cause I am pretty sure the 6 isnt that fast is it ?!?!

I don't really see a problem with him saying his time was "underrated". Perhaps underrated is a bad word to use, I just read it as "I'm hoping my time will be lower in the spring". True or not, after doing some mods, thats basically what he/we are hoping for.

"I said i was guessing... adn when thinking of it better its around 2300 ... I looked on the STRIPE on my car and IT says 2617...."

I just wanted to add something after reading this line...

I am pretty sure the weight you just read was DRY weight. Meaning thats what your car will weigh with no fluids whats so ever...including oil, gas, antifreeze etc...

Start filling your car up to spec with fluids and watch that number rise pretty quick into the 2700+ pound range...

I know this is long and dead.. But I was reading car and driver today. Found it quite intresting because it told me that the FASTEST they could pull a 1/4 with a s2000 hard top which is LIGHTER then a regular S2000 was a 14.9 at 95MPH ...
If you dont believe me go read it yourself... Not sure if it was at sea level or what not.. But a Pro driver got .1 second faster then me in the 1/4 and you guys are laughing at me cause I told you I can take one... Pfft... especially when my downfall to the 1/4 is my launch, NOT my top end...

The S2000 with a hardtop is heavier than a normal S and the test car wasn't broken in.

Review last years C&D numbers for the S and they are dramatically faster, wonder why they can't drive this year:dunno:

I cant understand why you guys harping on convict, he says some "interesting/easily disagreeable" things time to time, but if a person no matter who ran 15.0, there is no reason why he/she should not be able to get in the 14's, specially after a weight reduction and a few mods.

When I was race city with my stock 240, I raced the 240 hatch backs and coupes which had cone filters and exhaust and 100-200lbs less. No matter what I did they had me every time pulling away from me in the 2nd 1/8th mile........picture me doing the "seat jerk", you know the magic jerk that makes you think your making your car go faster, while someone goes by you. Hehehe
