S2000 4 Cyl M/T IS RATED AT 240 V.S Accord Coupe V6 M/T IS RATED AT 240 who will win in a dead stop / quater mile / top end race ?

 

S2000 is lighter.... that's all i say... the importance is the power:weight ratio...

I think this is only for the v6 tho

 

i read the 6th gen accords r around 3300 pounds

 

S2k is lighter, rear wheel drive and revs a lot higher. Also, it's weight is positioned to give it an aggresive stance which leads to handling performance ........ also, the S2k is Honda's sports car and the Accord is not.

 

Yeh weight is 75% of a race.... It dont matter if youve got 500hp and your opponent has 250hp... If he weighs 1,000 lbs. lighter than you he'll probably win.... (A crude example of course)

 

too bad our accords are so heavy... any ideas of anything useless to remove?

 

Rear seats, passenger seat(if none ever rides with ya), speaker boxes(if you got em), spare tire/wheel(thats almost 40lbs.), etc.... You can also get CF hood and trunk, that would knock off 50-60lbs

 

comparing a 240hp s2000 to a 240hp accord lol. one of the things that wasnt mentioned yet was gear ratio

the s2000 tranny is built to go fast, the accord tranny is built to get grocieries.

4cyl accord FTW. easier to do a h22 swap lol.

 

forget the cf hood, get an fg hood save on even more weight ^_^
