This is a challenge between the 3 street legal tuner versions of Honda's S2000.
Mugen S2000
Spoon S2000
Amuse S2000

(Bold letters=best specs)(Italicized=worst specs)
The first thing we must know are the basics. Horsepower,weight and price.

The Mugen S2000 Has 243hp and weighs 1240kg. With a price tag ringing in at 75,000 cr.
The Amuse S2000 Has 250hp and weighs 1190kg. With the lowest price tag ringing in at 50,000 cr.
The Spoon S2000 Has 271hp and weighs 1100kg. With the highest price tag ringing in at 85,000 cr.


Now lets move on to the drag strip where we will test each cars 0-60mph time and 1/4mile time and speed. All cars were tested with no ASM or TCS and all cars had the gas mashed immediately after the start button had been hit.

1st place: Spoon S2000 0-60mph in 5.583 and the 1/4 mile in 13.882@103mph
2nd place: Amuse S2000 0-60 in 5.666 and the 1/4 mile in 14.307@100mph
3rd place: Mugen S2000 0-60 in 6.200 and the 1/4 mile in 14.672@98mph

Now we move onto the fun test.Well actually..a little boring Top speed. All tests were done on the Top speed challenge woth full throttle applied.

1st place: Spoon S2000 at velocity of 166.28mph

2nd place: Mugen S2000 at a velocity of 158.73mph
3rd place: Amuse S2000 at a velocity of 158.35mph

Now we move onto the final test for this trio. A b-spec lap at Apricot hill. B-spec Bob was at a setting of 3 for this test and his stats remained the same throughout
the testing.They each ran 10 laps.

1st place: Spoon S2000 with a lap time of 1:35:705
2nd place: Amuse S2000 with a lap time of 1:35:996
3rd place: Mugen S2000 with a lap time of 1:38:372


Well there you have it. The Spoon S2000 won the 0-60,1/4 mile Top speed, and had the best lap time. But with a price of 85,000 is it worth it?
The Amuse came in 2nd place in all events except for top speed. But with a price of 50,000 (35,000 less than the Spoon) was it really the best?
The Mugen (poor old mugen) came in 2nd once. That was the top speed challenge. But with a price of 75,000 cr is it even going to enter your mind to buy this car?
If I had to choose a clear winner I would choose the Amuse S2000. Granted the Spoon outruns this car in almost every aspect. 35,000 cr spent on the Amuse will make it surpass the Spoon by a hefty margin. There fore I think that the Amuse S2000 really smoked the competition.


Tell me what you think.
 
Ah yes..but the R1 and GT1 seem to racy to me..My next test will be between the R1,Spoon S2000 race car,and the other Amuse S2000. The GT1 will square off with the NSX in a couple of days :) .

lol...12 minutes? hmm..I thought it was more like 20-25...I usually am too lazy to do the CLK gt-r one..I just run my F1 car overnight at Fuji..then I win 750,000 plus 750,000 for the car..I can easily make 10 mil a week.
 
Alright..I am now working on another tuner write up..the 350z challenge. and the "better" S2000's. hmm I have some others in mind but you'll see them as I post 'em..please offer me some feedback here though.
 
1989threat you''ve got a typo there in your write up...

The first picture is of the Amuse S2000(street)

The last picture is of the Mugen S2000

Just thought you should know :D
 
No actually its not..the very last picture is the amuse(the only red one) the purple one of course is the Spoon so the first has to bet the mugen..thanks for looking out for me though

yes it does...but what does this have to do with my Write-up...I geuss your new...ah well..you'll learn how to navigate the site one day 👍
 
Ima big fan on Spoon and I like Mugen as well, and Amuse is cool also.

I own these three S2ooo in the game and I love them all but I love the Spoon 2000, along with my Spoon 98 Civic and Spoon Honda integra. I just don't like that there is only one color to choose from for the spoon s2000.

Spoon builds top end parts and are really good. That's just y is performace real good.

Can't wait to see the other thread u write.

Peace.....

You should shoehorn the Opera in there aswell.
 
I actually was going to do this test, but also use the Opera S2K and the R1 (In place of the "base" model). Odd how our ideas paralleled. Nice stuff. 👍
 
I reckon you should do a few laps yourself and give us some feedback on the cars. B spec bob is good for laptimes to be equal but you dont really tell us how the cars handle. Also do you do any tunning to the cars, (this may not applie in this test) as some cars come with suspension and DF and such, do you max the DF out for track runs?

Your write ups are good, some more feedback about the cars and it will be a good read 👍
