Those S2K's were sick in those vids, but 23 pounds ouch!!!! Honda or not I cant see that car living that long. Then only thing I figure is 99% of the time he is running around with 8 pounds and only cranks it up to run a bike or something crazy like that.

:iagree: that kind of power cannot be sustained on stock internals, probably runs very low boost everywhere BUT the dyno.

The point is Red370, that a boosted 370 is no match for a boosted S2K. Thanks my fellow members for showing him the light :tup:

and what exactly is your logic behind this? because one dyno queen S2000 had a solid pull? c'mon man really? :ugh2:

No, the point is that you said a boosted S cannot beat a boosted Z all things beng equal.

First you said it couldn't do it. Now you say it can beat the Z but only once. I have 2 of my personal friends that DAILY drive 700+whp S2K's with stock internals. I have done my research and witnessed this personally, have you?

agree to disagree.

wow.....once you have civic drivers chiming in, thread goes to crap. Repeatedly. I owned an s2k and i was very involved with the crowd. I know the car literally 10 times more than i know the Z in every area. There is NO way you're gonna safely run 300 wtq for prolonged periods of time with stock internals and block. That 700whp vid is old. The owner did it solely for fun knowing the engine was gonna go. His plan was to rebuild it and make that much power reliably, but before doing it, he wanted to have some fun and see what kind of power the f20c could sustain. Just because it made that for a week or two don't mean it will run continuously. Come on people. Compare apples to apples. In terms of power, both stock and modified, the Z is NOT in the same league as the S. Like i admitted in a previous post, the S is an extremely well engineered piece of machinery. Maybe even one of the best engineered cars ever. However, the car was made in 1995 including the engine, drivetrain, chassis, etc. and it shows age. Admit certain things and give credit where it deserves people.

Very well said. :tup:

And yes I said 2 of my friends because I saw them first hand build it from the ground up. It's all about the tune that can make or break the car. Have you heard of Jeff Evans out in PA? If you haven't, I suggest you google him.

Tell that to my friend who's been boosted for over a year and has put about 20,000 miles in his S. Would you like evidence?

hey atleast we're comparing sushi with sashimi (not hamburgers and kimchee)

The 370 has only been out for 2 production years while the S2k had been out for a longer run than that. Like someone else already said on here, when it comes to modding the 370 has a lot more room to grow. Ive seen TT 2JZ (Supra engines) put into S2k before that made nasty power. You can make any car "fast", it just depends on how much money the person is willing to throw at it.

I don't care how much power you can squeeze out of it. If you look like an adult in a power-wheel's when your driving it, then it's fail.com

Anyone of us could of bought a car that weighs 1000 pounds and then boosted the hell out of it to have a "faster" car than the Z. Fast isn't always the point.

The Z is in a different class entirely on many different levels.

And if you guys have such a hard-on for the s2000 then :gtfo2: and go buy one.

It's like when my cousin who has like a 97' honda hatchback says "Man, I'd probably smoke that Z when I get my turbo's installed" And I say... "Yeah maybe, but at the end of the day your driving a 97 Honda Hatchback"
