S2000 vs. G35
|
Prettymuch how I thought it would go (assuming the S2K didn't have a passenger), but it would have been a lot closer if the G35 wasn't carrying an extra passenger.
|
i wonder how much better the 05 s2k is to the 04.
|
that was a pretty cool video - the only time the G35 was close was from a 60mph roll.
|
That was a pretty good video.
Ike I also wonder if the results would have been the same with the camera man sitting in the s2000 instead of the G35. The G35 and s2000 are pretty damn close. But I thought the RX-8 was slightly faster than a G35? I wonder how an RX-8 would have faired in the same vid. |

The '04 plus is a little faster since it has a wider powerband and is putting a little more hp to the wheels.

i figured the 8 would be near neck and neck with the S2K, but i don't think that's the case. looks like i'm gonna have to run my car at a track and see what this thing can really do.

When you figure the S2k is putting out in the area of 25 or so more WHP than the RX-8 and weighs less, the S2K has a pretty good advantage given similar drivers.

very interesting
|
i really wonder tho. how we compete against s2k. i wanna jus mess around with my friends s2k jus to see the outcome
|
I'd be interested in seeing the pulls more against the G35C and RX-8 since I think they are similarly classed.

I have never driven the earlier version, but I've been on the track with them, and my car is always faster on the straights than the earlier car (no driver skill involved), and they are equal on the turns (assuming equal driver skill), but there are times that I am put to the choice of shifting (with the accompanying loss of time) or sitting at redline (instead of accelerating), where the earlier version doesn't have that, at least at our local track (Pacific Raceways outside Seattle). |
very nice :)
|
nice vid, thanks for sharing
|
i'm pretty sure the S2k will beat the 8 whether it's the drag strip or track.
|
i do believe the 8 and s2k should be a good match. but i know hands down the s2k will beat the 8. just wonderin by how much. hopefully it would be a "close" battle
