Damm S2000s are fast

I caught an S2000 comin out of a toll booth on the thruway, and it was on, his car def had mods, we were neck and neck most of the way than at about 115mph, I eased up and he kept on going, there were some turns comin up, and I didnt feel like I would have adeqaute control of the car at that speed, in any case, that S2000 was quick and handled phenomenoly, I was impressed. With mods, he was prob pushing 260hp.....

He should have killed you. 2800 pounds with 240 hp. Very tight gearing too.

yea, he def would have if it was a straight race, but you know how it is, it gets to be more about balls when your working through traffic, like I said, I know there was no contest, but I stayed with him until 100+ so I was happy, side by side no less. All I could def make was that he had exhaust

I killed an S2000 a while ago, we were at about 220 kph (130+ mph), but he gave up and exited on the next ramp. I was about a car and a half ahead until he decided to quit. You can hear his engine, he was redlining too 'coz you can hear his governor. But I betcha with the stock suspension setup of the S2000 and the balance of the RWD, the Type-S would not stand a chance in corners...

Agreed, at those speeds, my stock suspension, didnt feel confident around subtle curves, but the S2000 sure looked it.
