S2000 vs Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale

[swtethan]

why are people comparing a 30k car to a 160k+ car? apples and oranges.... roadster vs track car? great....


i dont think those ferraris belonged there either, they were like pace cars or something.... look at all the open top cars there, it must have been a roadster meeting

heh, just watched the video.

Man do those guys suck at driving. I mean that's really pretty bad.

But that being said I love how the ferraris just knock the crap out of the S2000.

the 360 is said to be extremely twitchy if you floor it. thus i can understand why they don't want to push the 360 unless you're good. or you'll end up doing a bunch of 360's and embarass yourself.

As mentioned before, all the drivers in the video were amateurs. The ferrari guys might have been out learning or having fun. Its just a track day. Noone involved necessarily needs to be 'going for the gold'. That said, the S2000 driver really wasn't all that great and the fact that the video even ended up on the internet (i.e. he thinks he was showing them up) shows how much of an amateur he is(was).

But I always enjoy track day, driver's viewpoint videos. Gives me a chance to check out a track that I will probably never drive...

Speaking of Elises, I like the 'ring video of the vastly underpowered Elise (might have been an exige?) versus a C5. Good watch.

Mark

IIRC that Lotus was track tuned and as word has it, against a stock C5. Nonetheless still a good watch.

how about an elise versus a C6 Z06?😀

lol, that was awsome

 

[imported_KuJaX]

yea those ferrari's obviously were not using their vechicles to the extreme like the honda man.

Word of warning at the Gofastvideo site... Do not open the Volvo ad down the page from the M5 video at work, NSFW! Gets a Boobie tag if linked from Fark.

lol you downshift into VTEC? you must have one of those fart cans as well

Im glad someone said it. The S2K is a kickass car...esspecially for the price. However, most "VTEC" cars are a joke. I see these guys around campus with greddy this and AEM that and one actually rolled down his window and he's like "wanna run for pinks" I just laughed and then smoked his ass. I personally love torque - I have about 350 ft-lbs worth at 2500rpm and when it hooks - what a kick in the ass.

That being said, road course and autoX are great. I am currently shopping for an E36 M3 to be my project "handling" car.

LMAO shift down into vtec...I get what he was saying but sitll...I love how he said that. On my 88 oldsmobile...you better watch out when I shift into Brougham.

Not to mention the Honda will last 10 times as many miles. Ferrarri isnt exactly known for reliability.

Pssssh, the Ferrari drivers aren't babying their cars, they just aren't good drivers. You don't buy a 360CS to baby it, it's meant to be driven hard and fast, why do you think they massively reduced the weight to the point where the interior doesn't have nice trimmings and doesn't even come stock with carpets? The 360CS is a track car. Whoever buys one knows it. Anyways, hitting apexes doesn't have anything to do with babying a car. The CS is designed to be a track car to hit every goddam apex. Not trying at all? Psh. All the money in the world can buy you all the cars you want, but it can't give you the skills to make you a better driver. You could buy all the official equipment and gear for say, basketball, but an NBA player will still school you wearing jeans and a jacket. It works the same way. Fast cars don't make fast drivers.

Indeed. He could have saved quite a bit and just gotten a regular 360.

That S2000 is taking a beating...and sounds like its about to explode...still kudos for doing nice, but I dunno how long it would last with races like that.

you don't know about VTEC honda engines my friend

It makes peak power between 5.5K RPM and 9K RPM, it's supposed to drive and sound like that

When I downshift into VTEC and floor it with my B16, you better watch out!!! The feeling and the sound is AWESOME!!!

yup not to mention there are a BILLION aftermarket parts to make that motor scream.. where there isnt that much for the Uber pastarockets..

nowhere does it say this was a stock S2000

it's alive!!!!

Check out the auto-x videos on the site too... pretty cool.

s2000s are known to kill ferraris and porsches. not a big surprise.
