Default Honda S2000's

Are these things actually that quick....there is a guy round my area who has a standard one, who wants to race my cosworth as he thinks he is gonna smoke me, my cossie is sitting around, i dunno, 280bhp - Does he have a chance??

Erm

No!

They are quick and rev like buggery. Honda dealer at a show told me they'd do sub 4 seconds 0-60 in actual fact I beleive they are closer to mid to late 6's.

I have blown a couple into the weeds so I wouldn't have thought you'll have too many probs

Youl do it mate.

Used to work for honda, driven loads, they not slow, but not even stg1 cossie fast IMO.

AND if he dont drive it properly itl be even easier as they REALLY need their neck wringing like no other car ive ever experienced to get any real performance out of em.
