3G Acura TL-S vs 2008 Honda S2000
Anyone had a chance to race on of these at the track?
s2000's have been getting a lot of flack for being surprisingly heavy...ever since the Si Sedan beat it around the track time wise it was almost like people questioned why the car existed.
Anyone's TL-S or even Supercharged TL put one of these in their kill box?

I used to own a S2K, hence my moniker, and loved it on the track. There is no comparison to running it against the TL since each car has a completely different mission. The S2K is about as pure a sports car as is possible in its class, maybe only surpassed by the Lotus Elise or Exige. The TL is a four door sedan, a damn fine one, could even classify it as a sports sedan comparable to a BMW, but still a completely different car. I lost my S2K in a garage fire two years ago and miss it every single day. While the TL has been a great car, it still has not created a burning passion in me. Maybe I would feel different if mine was a TL-S but I still think you would be comparing apples and oranges.

Like I said in another thread, I'm also an x-s2k owner. From experience (actually anyone can almost make this assumption) the s2k is a little slow off the line and before it hits vtec. The tl-s has enough torque where is might have an advantage here, but not many people are willing to race from a dig, I feel. Other than that, the s2k will beat the tl-s every time and is about .3 quicker in the 1/4 mile from the fastest times I've seen. Handling, well there is no comparison so I wont even start. Miss my s2k, hopefully I can get my hands on an AP1 for cheap soon. The car is a drivers dream.
