Default Re: Any experience RACING Honda S-2000's ?

I'm assuming the Honda is prepped for the track. It really depends on if the track suits him or you. I would guess he would be much better in the corners and slightly better under braking. You will kill him on the straights. Unless the track is mostly slow corners you should be close overall. Before changing my car I was about the fastest thing on the straights but among the slowest in the real tight turns. What made the most difference on my car was Koni's. You can dial out a lot of the understeer which will make you much faster in the corners. Find a track somewhere and practice to learn the limits of your car and have a good time doing it. My trial and error indicates that you will need to run at least 5lbs. more air pressure in the front tires than the rear. The rear can go pretty low. 30 lbs. or so. I like 35 myself. I found 42 lbs. in the front works good for me. Some say it's way too much but it's working.

Oh, I passed 2 Corvette Z06's at the track and was ******* a M3 so close that he lost it in one of the high speed turns. So don't worry about the Honda's passing Vettes. They were most likely driving with instructors or learning their new toy.
