  • 11 people regret spending 100k on their GT3

  • Turbo? or supercharged?

  • Things get a little more frantic when the S2k driver is in full attack mode, and it's a little less smooth. It took him maybe three laps to figure out a better line through the right-left-left where he could stay on half-throttle throughout the series of turns. That eventually set him up for the pass.

  • Simply amazing. Listen to that thing. Couldn't have been driven any better, nice job. Had to favorite this.

  • @15inchwheels do you even know if the old 911 was stock? probably not, so i wouldn't be talking about the S2000 driver like that when you have know idea what's been done to the 911 such as the suspension, interior, tire set up, as well as the power plant.

  • damn, what exhaust you got?

  • @likeited stock

  • as much fun as the s2000 looks, id take a 911 any day. its more of a changing car to drive there for making it more of a rewarding experience if done right

  • @MiniOne82 Let me see. You've driven neither.

  • @flagella1337 for you info mate i have driven both at Oulton Park. Im just giving my opinion that's all. The s2000 is a great car but personally for driver pleasure the 911 is the car for me

  • im a true honda head,but its hard to argue with the straight line power of a porsche,that said the hondas cornering ability is pretty decent,but i think thats mostly down to the driver. good dice all the same,and just goes to show power is not everything.

  • Driver reminds me of senna with the 1 handed turning and the red gloves haha. :) nice driver man

  • I LIKE HOW YOU OVERTOOK THE PORSCHE AND YOUR DRVING BECAME AGGRESSIVE....GREAT DRIVING

  • VTEC!!!!!!!!!!

  • bravo

    vous demontrez que la QUALITE du pilote fait plus que les chevaux de ces conducteurs de Porsche qui ne savent qu utiliser la puissance !

  • props to the 964!!

  • props to the 964

  • There are many videos on youtube og v8 s2000, but none are from race tracks. Only drag and street. How come?

  • @saksaas Because the F20 is a great base to Turbo/Supercharge so people tend to make them go quick in straight lines. Also the S2K is prone to snap oversteer when driven quickly on a track so an inexperienced driver could crash etc. Much more fun on a track tho IMO.

  • @saksaas because americans dont understand what true performance is.

  • Excellent driving, you must be in the northern hemisphere in a LHD ? =] ha 

  • I ripped the audio from this and put it in my iTunes. Im not kidding.

  • What makes this car well balanced is the fact that it has a front/mid engine. If you put av v8 in this car you would have to place the engine further to the front. That would ruin the balance of the car.

  • @saksaas on the contrary, you can get an all aluminum LS1 to be close to stock weight (close, not at) they aren't as big as you would think. If you open the hood of an S just look at all the room in there.. sure the balance would not be PERFECT like it is now, but it could be done properly and still be plenty trackable.

  • it is difficult to drive a rear engined car tho...

  • Sounds like my B16A with HKS intake and buddyclub exhaust

  • That F20/22 is pure sex!

  • I love the Sound of the NA motor! I believe he has retuned the ECU and matched an IHE with the combo, My S2000 does not sound THAT nice at WOT! sick video! All I need is a good ECU to make mine sound as nice, this is the Engine ROAR that Honda should have had on this S2000.

  • Pity it had to SLOW DOWN FOR THE PORSCHES, lol. Mate, get a BULLBAR, lol.

  • Nice pass!

  • I love how I bet that Porsche driver is looking in his rear view only to see a Honda right behind him.

  • i love my S2000 i wish i could drive it like this guy though =/

  • If you have a Porsche driver that is as skilled at driving a Porsche, as a Honda S2000 driver is at driving a Honda S2000, the Porsche will win.

  • can someone explain to me why during the turns, he downshifts from 4->3-> 2. why doesn't he just step on the brakes and go form 4->2? thank you

  • @futangklan

    There are many different reasons for doing that, but i think in this case scenario he was doing it so he would't have to use the brakes as much. Downshifting like that will slow the car down so he didn't have to use the brakes as much.

  • @futangklan skipping shifts is very bad and stresses your transmission just to let you know. It's like dragging 1 -> 3 -> 4 -> 6 .... the gears are meant to be synchrounous , not meant that you skip one.

  • @futangklan skipping shifts is very bad and stresses your transmission just to let you know. It's like dragging 1 -> 3 -> 4 -> 6 .... the gears are meant to be synchrounous , not meant that you skip one. You can't downshit from 4 -> 2 because your rev will be extremely high meaning, your 2nd shift will take a lot of stress.

  • The 2 porsche never had a chance against the S2k.

  • Comment removed

  • absolutely all over that porsches in the corners. No wonder the s2000 was voted by many as one of the top cars of the decade

  • the s2k driver goes into the corners way faster than the porsche guys do.

  • weak

  • @gtb3197 It's a 4cylinder not even turbo charged or supercharged. What else you want?

  • i love it how a track day were most people are there to enjoy being a hoon push there car abit turns to that drivers shit that guys the man blahblah fuckn blah

    nice incar vid watched whole video love n/a sound

    :pro driver in each porshe would kill s2000

    comon ppl pull ya head out ur ass

    i hate porshes overpriced vwbeetle

    but yea sit on that a rotate......

  • @nataslider you make less sense than a hobo rapping (lil wayne)

  • is it a turbo or supercharger

  • That is not a GT3!

  • exciting to watch the underdog pass the porche, i still today admire the s2000, super affordable, can be driven everyday hard, and daym i love the cock pit feels like a real race car. cant beat that deal, especially we all know that those japanese workers are meticulous when building our cars.

  • Nice to see a very good driver, in such a great car !

  • Beautiful driving.. I could watch this hours and hours in "repeat".

    Many credits to the S2000 driver, fantastic driving!

  • Beautiful!

  • the gt3 driver a bit sucky . nice run on the s2k though .

  • the s2000 is perfect track car because it has 50/50 balance.

  • That F20c makes beautiful music!

  • He was really pushing from half way in the video and on, great driving i was on the edge of my seat and wished the video couldve continued.

  • Porsche driver sucks

  • Can anyone tell if its an AP1 or an AP2?

  • I think the rev counter says AP1

  • Comment removed

  • the driver of that 997 needs to get the hell out of the way. the s200 is all over his ass in the corners.

  • its actually a 996 gt3, dont want to get too technical

  • blue flag the 911s

    S2000 driver is too quick

  • varano....

  • I love how he revs match. That sounds sick !

  • I would have pulled over until that porsche left the track. The porsche driver clearly did not know the track very well and wouldn't get the hell out of the way.

  • God dammit this fucking car sounds soooo amazing.

  • That Porsche in front of the S2k has no track manners... he is slow on corners and the s2k passes him and yet he passes him again on straight ways, only to fall back down again and have the s2k on the tail.... ill mannered porsche driver.

  • I love s2k's but i think the gt3 has alot more in it, or i may be wrong and s2k's are better on the track then i thought... either way gotta love s2k's

  • GT3 driver isn't great cant even pass the older 964 chassis ahead. S2K's do rock

  • If one knows anything about high performance Honda's or Honda's in general they would know big or brute power has never been part of the equation. In terms of track performance Honda's have always excelled at corner entry and corner exit speeds as maintaining momentum thru the turns can be even more successful than having excess power. That said, the S2000 is a very well balance package as the chassis should always be faster than the engine.

  • @blkguynlex All you said is right, but more power is always, always faster. Why not take a good chassis like S2000 and put more power into it? It needs a V8.

  • @TheArfdog If you want more power from an S2K the Fseries responds very well to turbos. A v8 is unecessary in this car as a properly tuned (stock block/head) Fseries can handle way over 500RWHP with a low compression head gasket and stronger rear diff.

  • @blkguynlex I guess that's nice if 500 whp is all you're going for. But ok let's take 500 whp. How much do you think is the cost premium of trying to get a highly-tuned 2.4 L engine to put out that much power (and a flat torque curve) compared to an 6.0 L V8? You don't have to properly tune shit in an LSx and it will put out almost 500 whp already.

  • @blkguynlex Furthermore, after all the turbos and intercoolers, the whole assembly ends up weighing almost as much as an NA LSx. Not to mention the time and cost. So there is zero advantage in using the F-motor unless it's highly, highly tuned.... as in turning 18,000 rpm, thus generating 480 hp. Now that might be worth the cost.

  • @TheArfdog 18K RPM? I don't think you'll be reaching that unless you intent on dropping in an F1 car's engine...

  • @B2theEANZ Exactly. That means the F20 is hopeless unless it gains 4 more cylinders.

  • @TheArfdog FI would do the trick...

  • @TheArfdog ummmm lookup s2000 from hell. Stock F20 motor, tranny and rear end. 700 whp. "F20 is hopeless".....yea right, you have no idea what ure talking about.

  • @TheArfdog, you mention " time and cost". ..are you saying it's cheaper to install the V8 into the S2000 rather than boosting/tuning the factory F series? You may want to do some research as the F Series is a pretty stout piece. I know you're being sarcastic but 18,000 rpm....really? It's designed to rev as it's not a stump puller and thats what makes these engines so fun and entertaining. Give me a GT35R turbo, Hondata, all the assocated parts and some fine tuning and beware.

  • @blkguynlex I have and that's why I'm coming here with this. To build an F20 capable of 500 hp, the motor needs to be much stronger than a V8. And if you're going to put a turbo on as well, might as well just do all that work to an LSx and get thrice the power of the F-motor.

    To convert an S2000 to a V8 might be pushing it, i'm just saying it shoulda come with a V8 in the first place.

  • @TheArfdog A big heavy v8 in such a tiny compressed perfect package? u sir.. are and idiot. 120hp per liter speaks for itself on a track.

  • @mmdaniels33 In what world is 2800 lbs "tiny"? Especially when the weight difference is 100 lbs. That's 4%. Your car full of gas weighs 4% more. You know what speaks louder than 120 hp/L? 7 liters. LOL.

  • @TheArfdog Hmm.. it has perfect 50/50 weight balance... Please tell me what would happen if you crammed a big v8 in it? I know that little brain will figure it out.

  • @mmdaniels33 Jesus. Let me spell it out for you. S2000 is 49%/51% F/R. That's 1372 in the front, 1428 in the back. LS7 is 100 pounds heavier than the F22, adds 100 pounds to the front. Now it's 1472/1428 F/R = 51%/49% F/R. You can't feel a 2% change in weight distribution. I mean you just make yourself look stupid.

  • @TheArfdog Okay now factor in it being an inline engine? Do you know why inline engines are better ? Do you realize off setting this car to 51% in the front without it being an inline engine,would fuck this car up so much? Your an idiot.. Bashing the s2000 and its f20c engine. You clearly know dick all about cars.. How much would this thing understeer and handle like ass with a big V8 upfront.. all power going to the back. It would be so off balance.

  • @mmdaniels33

    Amen to that. Arfdog is a fucking moron.

  • @blkguynlex

    Adding: Durability and the driving experience of vtec :)

  • He seems to have him only in the turns and braking which could just mean the Porsche driver isn't the best driver or the S2000 excels in the those two areas.

  • It could also point to better tires and lighter weight.

  • s2000 one of the best track cars out there if you know how to drive it well. porsche drivers not very good. s2000 driver drives very well and the fun factor of s2000 is way up there.

  • I will have to totally agree on your point of the S2000s being a very fun car to drive.... all the time you are constantly smiling :D

  • Very good driver! Amazing S2000

  • What if this track's straight got shorten?...let's say 1 to 1.5KM?

    I think those Porsche;'s driver will really have trouble to leave the S2K's camera...

    Really interest to know the background of the S2K driver and what had modified in the S2K

  • its funny how cheap the S is now lol you can get an old one for 10k haha

  • Thats simply Mugen S2000, you can find mant videos of that guy on YouTube...

  • the s' sounds so sweet!

  • nice race ......thats why the s2k is so popular its driving......by the way the NSX it IS ALOT BETTER THAN THE SKYLINE !!!!!

  • You can say wathever you want.. BUT if I was that porscho owner, I wouldn't be to happy if a S2000 kept up with me on the track.. LOL. $25000 S2000 VS $125000 Porsche........ Need I say more..

  • GT-R is better than NSX-R

  • you can't compare those two cars...and GT-R is better but way??..you know why...only because it AWD...not RWD like NSX...top speed is the 15km/h faster than NSX...so not much better...and NSX is 13 years old almost...i think on 2nd gen.

  • NSX-R is better than 911. s2k is very good car but not against porsche.

  • NSX-R is shit compared to 911.

  • Yeah, sure...911 is turbocharged...NSX-R not.

  • Let me reiterate....S2K is shit compared to any Porsche. I've driven an S2K = Shit2K. Drives like a shopping cart, & starts off shitty. I believe a shopping cart is more comfortable.

  • & NSX-R is good, but not as good as Porsche. Porsche is KING. Go test drive a GT2 & you'll find that out quickly.

  • s2k is good car 50-50 weight but you can't drive this car against Porsche...it's slower and it's not turbocharged. Drive Supra vs. Porsche and see what will happened...100m behind will be Porsche...in 402m race..buahahahaah

  • Supra vs Porsche? hahahahaha you'd have to run that supra on rocket fuel & mod it the fuck out...that's the only way you'd keep up with a fast Porsche. Get out of here, Porsche kicks ass.

  • You are an idiot and probably can't afford either car, let alone drive either properly.

  • You wouldn't know how to drive my mom if you can't even drive an S2000. If she has a cock, and you rode it, what does that make you?

  • If you know anything about racing, you can clearly see the Porsche drivers in this video are TERRIBLE drivers...way off line, inconsistent braking, etc....i.e. they are slow. S2000 is a very nice car, but having driven both on the track, if you can't beat an S2000 in a Porsche 911, it's time to quit racing...

  • The drivers of both 911's should be utterly ashamed of themselves for driving so poorly and letting an S2000 beat up on them so badly...watch their racing lines and it may as well be Helen Keller behind the wheel of those Porsches...

  • Watch the video again , all the porches maintain about the same gap between themselves , are all the porche drivers bad,, i doubt it . The S2000 is a magnificent car for less than 1/2 the price.

  • your right ^^, and also socalllucifier another reason is the s200 is slightly better through the corners, and you can hear him backing off throught some because the porsche is in the way. on a less tight track, the porsches on the straight would gain an advantage, but because this is so twisty, it gives the s2000 an advantage

  • Unbelievable sounding for that engine ............. really gonna miss you S2000.

    Long live S2000.

  • very good driver!!!!

  • Put the 964 driver in the GT3 and you would only see him for a short while in the start of the video till he pulled away from the other two. Honda well set up. GT3 driver is not very experienced. Breaks to early for most every corner and not sure if he's in correct gear exiting. It's an expensive car I know so maybe he's just holding back or has more money than skill. Nice with no stupid music playing like a lot of vids on here.

  • Nice sound! Good driver!

  • Much more impressed with the Porsche 911 ¿964? in front of the GT3, it carries a lot of speed being an old car... even following not good lines. And it is not a Turbo... good respect for it :O

  • damn, dat s2k wont overheat.. so high rpms and so small engine, good job

  • ten gościu jeździ jak by mu na oponach i hamulcach zależało.....Ale to jest wyścig, co nie? he Gt3 mógłby na zakręcie zwiąć... jeździ zbyt zachowawczo

  • well this honda looks like modifyed a bit, and if u put a better driver into that gt3, like the 1 who drives the s2000, it would be fair, so dont put to much on the honda

  • hondas are impressive and can accomplish whatever the builder desires.

  • any car can do that.. not to say I haven't seen cool hondas.

  • yeah...but hondas are moderatly priced, and joe can buy it and fix them up to put out some insane power.

  • the porsche was horrible at the cornering..

    s2k caught up too it every single time.

  • True that.. he did pretty well.

    The porsche didn't do too well.

  • He's much better at cornering and at the braking.

    Good job man!

  • I dont think its fair to say that porsches are better than hondas, but in this video the driver in the honda is seriously good and the driver in the porsche drives like hes 85

  • why so much hate?Both cars are super..!!

    each has its dis/advandage.

  • on the straights 911>s2k but on the curves s2k>911

  • The s2000 is probaly not stock if it is running like that, like all turbo cars easy tune them up.....

  • The GT3 drive do not deserve to sit in a car at all!

  • Your grammer sucks! WTF

  • This video is awesome, but that gt3 driver doesn't know how to drive...

  • i love this video

  • haha... six times as expensive and still eating dirt from that S2000!

    Stupid German shit!

  • your a dumbass, why bring Germany into this? i promise you that s2000 doesnt have the same engine, trans, brakes, intake, anything stock on that car, you a fucking moron! yeah, a stock s200o beating the 911, your a dumbass

  • actually its a bolt on s2k with 4.77 gears.

    engine-stock s2k f20c can handle over 600whp due to its fully forged internals. no need to change anything on an all motor s2000. period.

    Trans- your just an idiot. please dont post if you know nothing about the car. Trans are generally the strongest part of the drivetrain on s2000s

    brakes- yes it would be smart to upgrade the brakes.

    intake- woooo 1hp

    Your a moron. It has 4.77 final drive. thats it. LOL and maybe I/E

  • are you shitting me?? your throwing what you THINK is in the fucking car, shut the fuuuuck up you dumbshit... s2000's are SHIT and will alwayse be SHIT compared to any GERMAN SUPERCAR you DUMBSHIT... how are you gona tell me what they changed on the car, you fucking dope! hahahahahaha your so smart you tell me what you THINK they did to it! hahaha stuped fucker!

  • and if you know anything about racing, which you have shown me you dont know anything, look at the lines they are taking... obviously the porsche driver is taking the wrong line, and the honda is taking the better one... if you dont see this, honestly, stop posting

  • lol @ you. are you 16? posting because your dad drives a POS porsche. LOL they suck! face it. Honda>Porsche. video shows it ;)

  • ya got me, thats why im saying it, yep. you know im right so you resort to that bs hahaha nice nice... honda sucks

  • keepin up with a porsche lol. so whats that say?

  • If a Nissan can lap the Nurburgring faster than a Porsche, and a Honda can only "keep up" with the Porsche, then would it be reasonable to say that Nissan>Honda>Porsche?

    Personally, I'd say Porsche makes more desirable cars from an overall performance perspective. I don't see how anyone can argue that statement when you compare Porsche to Honda (or Nissan).

  • umm, one S2k makes over 600whp with stock block on race gas and suddenly all of them can and reliably? thats a bit presumtious dont cha think? safely, 400whp on a stock block, anything above that at least 3mm HG.

  • And still and still...

    engine (?), trans (?), brakes, intake (stupid!)

    After all those changes.... That fabulous S2000 still costs less than a thirt of that german VOLKSWAGEN.... lol

  • That GT3 driver doesn't know anything about driving in a circuit...

    He only knows how to push the Throttle pedal...

  • not only is he skilled but im sure he's got some mods on it and its tuned, not saying its FI cause i dont think it is, but suspension mods and N/A mods like exhaust intake headers maybe an emanage, thats what i have and it puts me an extra 40 hp to the wheels :D:D

  • Just goes to show that just because you can afford an exotic

    doesn't mean you can drive it. The S2000 driver is extremely skilled.

  • I agree totally, this guy is skilled at driving.

  • really respect for the s2000 driver with just only 240 bhp he past away a 380+ bhp gt3 porsche.great control

  • yeah, but i doubt that s2000 is stock.

  • dont say the s2k driver is shitty, hes taking close to perfect lines and using advanced techniques like heel toe shifting, which is why he revs while slowing down.. not easy to do correctly

  • Not only is the Honda driver doing a cracking lap but the porche driver as well!!!

  • That s2000 driver is really pushing it!

  • I respect the S2000 but don't mess with the lions  :-s

  • yes but in the end, your still driving a s2000

    and the porsche takes the win

  • based-upon engine specs and real-life testimony; S2000 engineering may rival that of companies like Porsche ... especially when you consider the cost of purchase and ownership. Germany is no longer standing alone.

  • driver on 911 is just bad not 911...

    s2k is not even close to the beauty 911....

  • the honday is sick

  • thx M. internet for this race

  • Wow amazing funny how Honda made 7X the profit (3.5B euro / 0.50 B euro) last year than Ferrari and yet some Retards still think honda make shit cars, one day you will understand honda only make cars like this because they are cheap reliable and fast... SHAME!

  • You're an idiot. Of course Honda makes more money than Ferrari, they're a far bigger manufacturer. Just because Ferrari makes expensive cars doesn't mean it has huge profits. Honda makes cars more people can afford... quantity of sales is were money is made.

  • Great driving. After a few laps, you drove even better. But you could've made more use of the mid range torque out of corners. Unless you had a stonking great turbo, but I couldn't hear one ...

  • Respect to the S2000 driver.

    and if you gonna take your Porch to track and drive like that you may as well stay home.
