Re: Any experience RACING Honda S-2000's ?
Cory,
Sorry you couldn't make it to the track. I had a great time. There were a lot of fast cars. It rained on us most of the time. The track was slick and I saw several cars lose control and go into the grass. Nothing serious. I went slow and most cars passed me. I still need to work out some bugs. I put the autostick in manual thinking it would stay in manual at 3rd gear; then I hit full throttle comming out of the last curve at the beginning of the long straigth. I thought the car would stay in 3rd gear for low rpm acceleration; but it downshifted giving me too much torque. I nearly lost the car in a fish-tail at 50 mph, that could have been very bad since the pit area wall was close. I am looking for a gearbox software kit to fix that problem. The automatic gave me problems both days due to the slick road conditions; basically making the car unpredicatable under moderate to full throttle conditions. I had to take it a lot slower but that didn't bother me much because I was more interested in learning and my instructor wanted me to go slow. He drove the car and knew my skill level was way below the level of the car. He was impressed that I got a lot better as the races went on. You can tell your dad my instructor has a 750 Hp Supra twin turbo race car. He was very impressed with the SRT-6 because of it's suprising grip and power. He commented several times at how powerful the car is and said with the right tires and a few adjustments it could be made into a great track car. I didn't open it up but a few times because it made my instructor nervous twice when it downsifted and launched us in wet road condtions. I safely returned me and the car home, so mission accomplished. I am excited and want to go back to the track. There was only one S-2000 and it was an instructors car. Mostly Vets, BMW's, and Porsches.
