R33 GTST vs Honda S2000

[EnricoPalazzo]

Hey guys, My mate just came over and showed me his new airfilter on his S2000. He also told me he had a drag with a 350Z and whooped his ass.

Now my car comes in about a month and i was hoping that the Skyline would be faster than his S2000.

Mine has Full exhaust with HKS Airpod. I may install a BC of somesort. I also have big rears (235s) and fully adjustable suspension. He has just an airpod.

So what do u guys think? Is he BSin on the 350z or is the S2000 a really fast car.

Thanks:)

the 350z is quick but it is an na 6 cyclinder

i seriously SERIOUSLY doubt he would beat it, , and theres no way in hell his s2000 will beat ya line...NO FKN CHANCE

[T0nyGTSt]

No way no how.

A well sorted "33" can take down a BMW M3...

The "33" is getting a reputation as the traffic light drag king!

theres a title to be proud of

i dont think many 33s would have a problem beatin an m3...take em down baby

Well there was a thread a while back about cars that you've 0wn3d at the traffic lights and it not like Skyline owners do not partake in such activities.

It does 6.2 in stock form. You can be sure there are many many many Skylines here that'll do 5 seconds without much problem. So take them down if they are worthy contenders. What's the harm? It's not like the cops are likely to bust you.

youre all quick to bag the S2000, but have any of you driven one? theyre pretty quick. they may not have the brute power of a R33 but as a car theyre very nice to drive, quick through the corners and have a fair bit of power for such a light car. dont underestimate them

Who's talking about M3s? M3s are luxury coupes & cost twice as

much as Honda S2000s. I have owned an R33 GTSt & currently

own an S2000.While the Honda is a very well balanced car & has

excellent top end power(between 8 & 9000rpm) there is no way it

will beat an R33.Honda quotes 14.9 - 15.1 for the 1/4 mile.Most average R33 GTSts should do low 14s to mid 13s.The mid range torque of the 2.5L turbo would walk away from a n/a 2L no matter

how much top end it's got.

The Honda has style, class, & is beautiful to drive.I really enjoy driving it with the top down & if I happen to pull up next to a Skyline I'll enjoy watching him dissappear & continue my crusin.

(Then if I run into him later in my R34 GTR it will be a different story)Skylines Rock.

[JET-33]

yeh i hear ya, i know they r quick, and nice cars...

but any1 whos says they beat down 33s with one is kiddin themselves

[Duncan]

Stock s2000 has more power than stock r33, right, lighter too?

[JET-33]

hell no, they have no where near the same power

33 has around 184kw, s2000 is like 120kw, they run 15s stock..end of story

[fatz]

cant fit my backpackers arse in one so dont know

dont seam that fast though

make alot of noise but

s2000 has 174kW from memory. Lot less torque of course which the 33 has tons of which is where it gets all it's get up and go from.

The s2000 is all about balance but I'm sure if you can afford the $80,000+ asking price of a s2000, a true Skyline fan would be after a 33 or 34 GT-R.

Actually The S2000 has 176kw which is the highest specific output (88kw per litre) of any n/a 2 litre in the world.

The Honda only weighs 1270 kg - so 'on paper' you would expect it to be quicker than a 184kw 1450 kg Skyline.

But 'quoted power figures' relate to top end power outputs.In the real world it is mid range torque that accelerates the car.From a rolling start at say 100kmhr the Honda would probably stay with

the heavier Nissan, but off the mark - see ya atmo.Turbos are king.The S2000 would leave the R33 behind on really tight bends.

It has a true 50/50 weight distribution & is very well balanced.Providing the driver keeps it in the right gear & up in VTEC the whole time the R33 would struggle to keep up.But again - when the road opens up a bit, turbo power hunts it down.

I am not talking about GTRs here.The Honda would only have an advantage over a GTR in very tight corners like basket range/lenswood.Start heading up the gorge or somewhere like that & the stovetop tailights would be out of sight very quickly.

I have spent many hours comparing these cars & they both have a very different flavour.

GO THE LINE

i cant c the s2000 stayin up with a 33 on any normal daily driven roads, it just dont have that turbo boogy

[predator]

shoulda seen this R33 that ripped me apart the other week.. mine is no slowpoke, but he left me several lengths in front in a matter of 2 seconds... that was seriously quick! and it wasn't a GTR either.

Some little guy in a new cooper S thought he would have a go as well, now that was just funnnnny..

p.s. sau does not endorse racing fast off the line.. it could get you in trouble. This has been a bullshit fast community message from the dumb ass party, canbeerra

[JET-33]

well if u got 177kw@wheels it must have been a beast?

please tell me u got plates, or pics, or know where this car is?

[predator]

pm'ed you jet33

[GT-Rmgedon]

It's like comparing chalk and cheese. S2000's r cruisers rather than bruisers, But they do have a fair amount of power when your right foot becomes pedal heavy. Both cars have their points but in a full on drag a lightly modded R33 has the better torque and acceleration to outpace an S2000 - You need some serious mods on the Honda to compete. Munro laid down the stats and discussed it all correctly about the VTEC's prowess and the S2000's abilities.
