Hey Eric, the S2k can easily handle the 340HP, in fact I wish it had another 200 horses to it for brute power but still with the 340hp. the Diablo still smokes it on a roll but the S2k will smoke the Diablo on the twistie turns.

JUST AN FYI....THE S2000 ISN'T AN 6 CYLINDER...IT'S AN INLINE 4 CYLINDER
That's what I orginially put and then thought it was a 6 for some reason and changed it, I shoulda left it. But the car still sucks, IMO.

I agree that the S2000 is quick around twisties.
But I guess with a standard or only slightly modified S2000 the Diablo would still have the edge on the tight corners.
I mean I was able to stick to the guys tail around the twisties without any diffifulty.

I agree with Eric, the S2000 will probably carry greater corner speed in the twisty bits, but I think the torque of the Diablo would make up the distance and the extra weight that it carries.

Nice thing you did with that Honda. I bet his girlfriend broke up with him.

according to evo magazine the S2000 has the following performace;

0-60 mph 5.5 s
0-100 mph 14.6 s

i think my diablo does 0-60 in 4 s but i am not sure of the 0-100 time

Your S2000 is beautiful! I bet it catches lots of attention.

Thanks for all your comments, I use the car most of the time as a daily driver and believe it or not it's more fun to toss around than the Diablo and it's much better on gas too as opposed to watching the gas meter go down as you drive the Diablo and it's a pain in the ass to fill the tank everytime I have to fill it up because you have to hold the nozzle at a certain angle and only certain gas stations it pumps well.

modman, do you have problem estimating the front end of the S2000 when you are parking? It's very long, isn't it?

The front is long for a Honda but it's not any different from any car I've driven in the past, the CL Benz has a long front so no big deal, you get used to it.
