Anyway I thought I'd steer the discussion to something interesting, or so?

Disconnect the front swaybar or mash the brake pedal mid-corner. Or wait for someone to release a rear swaybar.

almost everyone with a S2000 in here is a complete fanboy, my friend has a 06 S2k and he will be the 1st to admit that its very underpowered... when modded celica GT-S's and hondata RSX's start to pull on your 34K convertible you start to worry. the fact that mods for it cost more than a freaking engagment ring to only produce 1.0000005643 hp also disapoints my friend. i like the S2000 but i love my STi alot more.
BTW, my Fit pulls away from my friends AP2 on long sweeping freeway on and off ramps.

I don't plan to auto cross with the Fit. It's my daily and I wish to keep it that way. I have my 94 Integra to race with, it's no 1/4 mile queen but loves and tears through the corners at the track.

I brought my Fit to the autox today and it was pretty fun. It was my first time with the Fit and I thought it handled pretty well out there with the stock tires (Dunlops). I ran in T1-HS (street tire) and didn't come in last. Yeah! 
My goal was to learn the limits of the car and I must say I worked those 109 ponies.

An M3 and an STi have vastly different design criteria, so they cannot be compared directly like that.
You also cannot compare cars independent of price, as that would be retarded. You can't say that a Gallardo is "better at everything" than the STI, because apparently the STI is better at NOT costing more than a townhouse.
Hell, even the Evo and STI, which are VERY similar cars, weren't designed to do EXACTLY the same thing, not from factory (although they are close). Neither one is objectively better than the other, they reward somewhat different driving styles, and each car has its fans.
So cut this shxt out.

I don't think your friend can drive. From my experience, the Fit is fine with 109hp but it definitely can't pull away from my AP1. Just realized this is an old thread. Why did you bring it back? People like the cars they drive for different reasons. Just like I prefer the Evo over an STI doesn't mean anything. Who cares what we like. Can't we all get along.

real race car wise, there is a reason why s2000 only competes in gt300 class, because in gt500 class, it's simply outclassed going up against skyline, nsx, supra, z, etc.

From the way you're talking about the S2000, it seems like you're judging the car from a totally different class. No one I know, who has owned one, has complained about the handling, HP, and weight (I've heard complaints about torque).
Stop talking out of your ass and show me what GT300 team that runs a S2000. Because chances are, you won't find one. The S2000 has NEVER competed in the Super GT or JGTC.
Oh, and by the way, the S2000 is not even in the same class as the GTR, NSX, and Supra.

It's the chassis code for the 2000-2003 S2000. AP2 is for the current gen S2000. Micky likes to sleep. Thanks.

Go buy an EVO.

From what you said "BTW, my Fit pulls away from my friends AP2 on long sweeping freeway on and off ramps." Straight line or otherwise, I still think your friend can't drive his car. It definitely has nothing to do with your car having the rota's or S03s. Did someone post in this thread that the S2000 is the greatest car in the world? I sure didn't. If you make a statement that doesn't make sense, there's probably another explanation for it.

Just because you like a particular car makes you a fanboy? The video of the Noblesse Fit is pretty cool. I would like to know the specs of it. Of course you can mod any car to beat any other car like the S2000, Evo, M3, etc. Would love to see the Noblesse Fit run against the Amuse S2000 or J's S2000.
Your car is not a Noblesse. Your car is basically stock with wheels/tires. See if you can find another S2000 with a different driver and see if you also pull on that car in sweeper. Or take your car to the track or autox and post your times with the times from the other cars. I guess you must have a Super Fit.
