Default Honda S2000 flying over the Nurburgring Nordschleife

Size : 48MB
Length : 11m19sec



Amazing how the driver (with help from that little 2.0l 240bhp vtec engine) can keep up with the motorcycle at 2m30sec.

What wonders me is that at 6m58sec an BMW e36 m3 passes the s2000, where the e36 m3 was nothing compared to the s2000 in bestmotoring tests/videos.

Damn... wish i had an s2000 myself....

Maybe because that part of the nordschleife is uphill, but look at this video where the s2000 beats the e36 m3's without a doubt! The integra also performs great.... beating the r32 and 147gta who have much more power.

Agree...

My daily driver is a lease Vauxhall Vectra diesel (only 100bhp), so i can use that sweet little s2000 as fun cruiser

Let's check my bank account again...

So let me get this: He's wearing a helmet but his girlfriend/wife has no protection. He must really care about her.


PS. Thanks for the vid.

sweet vidz, thanks! downloading now.

s2k does feel like a dog under 5k. I work at a dealership and the car feels like a very precise steering civic when moving around teh car lot.
