Anyone ever tried a high speed run (hopefully in a closed circle track) with these 2 cars in stock form? I'm curious to hear any first-hand experiences.

I ran with an ITR and lost. My car is stock and I believe that his was slightly modded. We started from a 5 MPH roll and just took off all the way up to about 115MPH. He gained on me about half a car in first gear, then we stayed steady for the rest of the run. He jumped ahead probably because of the long delay of VTEC in 1st gear.

I've owned 2 ITR's and I've owned my S2k for a bit over 3 months. I can tell you that the ITR is a very competent high-speed car right up until 115 or so...after that I think the S2000 has the edge. I have not run them side by side, but I have tested this when I owned each car and the S2k has much better acceleration in the top gears. JMHO.

BTW: I loved my ITR, but theft and constantly worrying about it in parking lots led me to get rid of her. Glad I did...love my S. :-)

I was suprised that the ITR held it's lead on me above 2nd gear. I thought that once I punched 3rd I would pull on him, but he held his advantage on me. But I believe that he was killing/ redlining his engine. It was screaming like a bioach after 3rd gear.

I ran my friend ITR and took him easily but not by any big gapes. I had good shifted so I dunno if that affect it. We both didn't want to drop our gear so it was from a roll.

When I had my 00' PY Type R, I raced a white S2000 on the street. We raced down several different streets, many times from a stoplight. As much as I was able to stay with him, by the time he got to 3rd gear, he would pull ahead on me. The extra 1000 rpm's to redline made a big difference. From a start, we were neck and neck, but he could always pull on me in 2nd and definitely 3rd as he neared redline. But it was a fun race. My ITR only had an AEM CAI. His S2000 was stock.

After I sold my ITR, I was pissed (and have been) for the past two years. But now that I have an S2000, I'm no longer pissed, as I have an even faster car, and I'm enjoying it!

I believe I have a best motoring video of the these 2 racing on a track, for some reason the ITR pulled on the S in accerating, but the S took it over the corners eventually passing it on the second lap and pissing on it at the end.

Although the two cars have different set ups (ie: FWD vs. RWD) the two on a road course will have very comparable times in stock form. However, ITR

Good video. The S2000 ends up passing the ITR on long uphill straight.

I don't think he is. His first statement was stock for stock, and as someone who has owned and tracked both -- on the same day even -- he is right. Stock for stock they are about even. In terms of aftermarket support, there are a number of pre-made suspension and cage kits made for the ITR. Two years ago I would have said he was right on, now things have changed and we are starting to see a good number of S2000's stripped, caged and sprung for the track.
