S2000 has Tein SRC coilovers, roll bar, stock motor, test pipe, exhaust. That's about it. It's a very nice, very fast car that is set up well. Excellent driver mod as well ;-)

This is from the owner of the S2000:

It's mine so I'll respond (the OP and I track a lot together )

17x9 Enkei RPF1 with 255 RS3s all around
PMU Club Racer brake pads and PMU fluid
Tein SRC coilovers
J's Racing front camber joint
Berk test pipe
J's Racing 60RS exhaust

and then just safety equipment (Recaro SPG, harness, roll bar).

210ish rwhp of fury!

Here's his video from the same day:

Awesome, race car feeling. Always loved the s2Ks.

I'm hoping to pick one up this year as a dedicated track machine

Wow Ryan!! That was some impressive driving. That s2k is really stepping your game up!!!

Awesome stuff!

That S2000 is quick though.

the S2000 looks as fast as the 1M on the straights too but that can't be right, is there much difference between the two Blue55? Always liked the S2000 aswell

pixelblue · 01-13-2013, 08:58 AM

on a tight technical track the 1M doesn't have a chance against the S2K. that threshold rises exponentially if the S2K is equipped with r comps and a competent driver. I was humbled last year when a lightly modded S2K destroyed my best time by a good 4 sec around a tight track. made me want to go out and get a S2K myself.

OP- nice driving man and glad the mic placement worked out for you

Higher corner exit speeds = higher straightaway speeds. The S2K is generally a little quicker around tighter corners and so has a higher exit speed than my car. That means I have a little catching up to do. On a longer straight I can overtake the S2K. At this track we compared max speeds on the straights and the 1M was roughly 5mph faster at the end of the short straights. Our overall lap times are so close, it's very difficult to execute a pass on each other. The faster you get, the more differences tend to be equalized (at least when dealing with street cars) on a technical track. His S2K has no engine mods.
He's a very good driver, I'd like to think I'm somewhat decent as well.
