Re: Any experience RACING Honda S-2000's ?
I don't want you to get the idea that the X-fire is slow stock because its not. The brakes are real strong and the power too. But my first track experience I finished in the middle of the pack. The organizers were real impressed with my time with a 100% stock car. (so what) Then I started looking at the other cars. Brembo's or Stopteck's on all of them. Coilovers, strut tower braces. Adjustable camber plates. Aftermarket swaybars, Toyo's, Hoosiers, Pilot Sport Cup tires. Your Honda may have it all. If it's a fast track and have the courage to brake at the last moment you can hang with them. (IMO) To give you an idea of how important the curves are .... one guy here has a Sentra with fully adjustable suspension and Toyo's and he ran a touch faster than I did. 4 banger and automatic but it cornered unreal. It was at a track that's all sharp corners but you get the picture. He wouldn't have a prayer anywhere else. The track layout is a major factor as well as your risk tolerance. The real reason to go is to have fun and learn. Even if you are slower, I'll bet your earn respect for yourself and the SRT-6.
