The video I'm talking about is the Best Motoring "Civic Type R Returns". It battles (all stock) NSX-S, S2000, DC5-R, and 350Z.

You can see the trailer for it here:

But I can't seem to find the full version complete with lap times for some reason. If my memory serves me right I think the Civic had the 2nd fastest lap time behind the NSX-S and it was fairly close.

I would probably go with the S2000 since its made for this type of racing... If it were drag racing, then the Integra would be better...

Both motors are great, but you will probably see more power gains with the K20....

If power is the main concern, then go with the K-powered Integra, but if you want handling, go with the S2000...

what are the weight limits?

Currently with Honda Challenge (www.nasaproracing.com or www.honda-challenge.com) the K20 rules favor that car due to weights and legal modifications.

if you can legally run a 2200lb S2000 with a blower then go that route.

With a minimum weight of 1900 lbs the ITR is the way to go. The S2000 is not often seen on road courses for the same reason you don't see other convertibles either; they weigh too much. You'll have a rough time getting an S2000 much below 2300 lbs without tube framing a good deal of the chassis. I expect your series requires you to maintain the original unit body? Most do unless it's a wild free-for-all.

Reading comprehension 101.

Even the car can be made out of a tubular structure and FRP.
The question is between a 1900 lb F20C car that is sort of an S2000 v. a 1900 lb K20A car that is sort of an Integra.

K20 > F20 for starters. I didn't misunderstand, I got bored and stopped reading

I would prioritize winning, having fun, and competing, then decide what car you want to build and drive. It is a fact that a car with more hp/lb is going to pull you on the straights, so you have to think: Is the RWD advantage enough to make up for it?

Cool, as much as I would kill to run a S2000 because of the RWD and the killer looks I have to open my eyes and see that the Integra with a K20 Swap have a better and way cheaper future. Thanks guys, the S2000 will remain my weekend car.

Thanks again.

Well, I just received the new rules for 2008. The wheels cannot be bigger than 15s. I have never seen a S2000 run 15s so I guess I will work on the Integra for next season.

I want to thank you guys for the input, you are all great.
