Yeah, even without RE070s on it would probably still beat it by a good margin (ie. over a sec).

Surprised me a bit as well.

I'm sure the rock hard suspension in the Civic makes a big difference and this is something that can be easily applied to an S2000.

Bring out a Mugen modified S2000 and then have a "fair" race

might be a fairer comparison with a Mugen S2000 IMO.

The JDM FD2 Civic-R is a fast car - it's only a fraction slower than the NSX around Suzuka - let alone the Mugen version.
