I've owned an S2000 and a now an R33. Thought the S2000 would be car for life. I sold it after 3000km. It's an amazing achievement by Honda (240bhp/9000rpm/3 yr. Warranty) In practice, it's very hard work to keep it on song and not a great day to day car as a result. Would imagine it'd be quite useful on a circuit as the handling/engine combination is strong. Felt like it had no grunt below v-tec change at 6000rpm. Australian roads (and their speeds) don't suit it. I'm from the UK and grew up with Sierra Cosworths. The Skyline is the affordable loon weapon here and equally easy to get power from.

Brad - what are you doing on this forum?If you read the thread you'll see that the S2000 has 176kw, not 187.

(I know your Torana pulls 12s & you want to buy a Skyline so we'll let you off)

Slow gts-t - 53/47 is not 50/50 is it?

Slip - if you are referring to the HPI no.25 article mine IS the stock

yellow one!It now has a CPU upgrade, HKS exhaust, & carbon bonnet same as the white one Theo was driving in that article.

New article on my EVO7 Vs WRX sti coming out soon.

it's a bit embrass to say, but i beat by a M3 at Parade. It seems to be a faster car than mine... i only got aie filter and exhaust fitted.

To prevent it, i just bought a boost controller and a e-manage.

IT WON"T HAPPEN AGAIN!!

Munro- stock Evo/GTR, which is a better car for street racing??

Honda wouldnt have a chance methinks. S2000 has around 187kw if i remember rightly. Nice cars but.

think about the situation

a wrx can beta a skyline, a skyline can beta a wrx, all comes down to the driver and the launch

the S2000 has alot of power from a n/a engine, that power comes on alot slower then the skyline as the skyline is turboed to push it along faster.

but then look at the weight and you are getting closer

u will always hear and see stories of skylines beating s2000s beating wrxs beating 200sx

they all tend to have the same power to weight, just that the s2000 is n/a and doesnt come on power asmuch

the wrx skyline and 200sx are fairly equal and i would take any of them, ahd the skyline, 200sx is just as fun

The appeal of the S2000 is not straight line speed. With a 50/50 balance, and NA motor, you's take it out on weekends through some twisty roads. It helps to have power/torque though. The S2000 was designed with the same concept as the MX-5. FUN but on a more up market scale than the MX-5.

Having driven the MX-5, it's got no balls what-so-ever, but I have to admit it was just pure fun.

Much to my suprise late one night I beat a Black S2000 with a loud exhaust off the line and from a roll in my stock VX Commodore SS. Actually I think we were both a little suprised! Very nice car's though, a friend of mine sells Hondas and gets one every now and then and top down cruising is a good bit of fun!

Hmmm. A turbo 350Z.That would be cool.My shed is full though &

I already have 4 modified cars so I might have to pass the buck on that one Kabab.

I have used this phrase before I think but when comparing the EVO 7 to the R34 GTR I would have to say that the GTR is

" a whole nother level of badness ". the EVO is great fun, looks cool & is a very good car, but if I had to choose(& I will have to at some stage)the GTR has to win.It will take more punishment.If you dont do regular launches & dont thrash every time you drive then the EVO will last.If you are a caner like me, my advice would be go for a GTR.Besides, an R32 GTR is half the price of a good EVO.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
