I saw a GT-R on the road several months ago, but I wasn't in my S2000. either way, he would have still raped me. I still need another 50whp to beat the GT-R. atleast from a roll on...

Good point. lol

I think you guys are missing something. Here's what makes it an EVEN comparison. Both cars are the manufacturers "top of the line sportscar".

I can't wait to smash one, I'm now on 120psi on cylinder #3.... time to go fully built. 600whp = teh sex.

I can't wait to rape a GTR on the road. Then I'll hold up a sign "$40k vs $78k" lol

It's kind of ironic how fast the S can actually be isn't it? A little Honda 4 cyl with parts can smash cars with twice the power. It really makes one appreciate what we got.

which manifold are you running? I'm gonna swithc to a turbo setup before summer hits. I'm thinking the Pfab ELTM or their twin scroll setup. depending on which turbo i get.

It should also be mentioned that there is a +/- $50k gap in pricing between these two cars as well.

The fair comparison would be the GTR vs the Z06
50k?

MSRP of a Z06 is 73,925
MSRP of a ZR1 is 106,500
MSRP of a base GTR 76,800 (dont forget the horrendous markup)

I figure a S2000 + money for a built motor 3500+turbo kit.
