You do have some sweet wheels though....that's what is important.

 

Thanks...

 

I would think the CLK500 is faster than our car but shouldn't our car be faster off the line than the S2000? Maybe the S2000 was doing some clutch-frying high RPM launches.

Mmm.... IFORGED, yummy [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img] Don't worry man cuz' like it was said above your car out styles both. Do you use MM or auto mode? I have never raced a CLK500 but I mess with s2000's all the time and usually win (6MT) except in the corners. However I tried a NEW S2000 the other day and he pulled on me. I think the new ones have a differant torque curve and are a little lighter. Don't worry man it's stil the sweetest ride compared with those others. Peace

That 04 S2000 ought to be called S2200. It was upgraded to a 2.2l engine from the previous 2.0l.

get a manual.

 

Even though I lost, you guys know how top cheer a guy up...lost with my head held up high!!! i look at it this way s2000 only a 2 seater...mb clk500 uh...uh...i have better rims!!!hahahhahaha!!!!!!!

 

New S2000 isn't too much of an improvement over old one. I heard they lowered the redline, and detuned it so it was less of a race car, and more of a driver. But Isn't S2000 a driver's race?

And I know the CLK500 is ugly compared to the older generation CLK430, but it's still a nice car. You can't say that our G's outclass them.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHA hahahahah......ha

what that really has to do it with it ... I dunno...

BUT, there skinny little PUNKS hahahahahah

sorry.... little drunk here.

 

Having owned both a G35 and an S2000, I can assure you that the S2000 is a faster car. (Although I hate quoting magazine numbers) the stock '00 - '03 S2000 has been clocked as low as 4.8 and usually around 5.2 in the 0-60. If you don't drop the clutch with high RPM's in the S2000, you could end up with a time as poor as 6.5. (Any good racer knows you should drop the clutch in ANY car with your RPM's around 2000-3000 below your redline.)

IMHO, the S2000 is probably one of the must underrated and underestimated cars around. Too many people consider it to be a slightly pepped-up Miata. Think of it as a sport-bike with four wheels.

As for the 2.2L version (new in '04), it's actually the same engine, just with a longer stroke (creating the increased displacement). The HP is the same at 240, but increasing the torque by approximately 7-10 lb-ft.

If I were to race myself in my current G35 against myself in a S2000, I'd expect my G35 to lose. But I'd enjoy the ride just the same in a car with more bells-and-whistles, more safety, way better stereo, and better longevity.

Plus, I actually get more looks in the G35 than I did in the S2000.
