Does anybody have a video of a race between a JRSC Prelude and an S2000? From a stop, from a roll, whatever. If not, somebody with a JRSC should find a friend with an S2000 and race him and video tape it for us.

i have a jrsc lude and an s2000. at 6psi the s2000 will win given good drivers. at 9psi the lude wins given good drivers.
throw in a curve and it's s2000 every time.

2001 Prelude Type SH - $24,500
JRSC + Install/Tuning - $4,000
Paying for a Prelude, then paying for the SC, and STILL losing to a car that is much nicer, and cost
almost what you spent on the lude with the SC = Pricesless
i think the lude for sure......the s2k is hard to launch but so is the jrsc but i am 100% i could beat a s2k...we should try schwett once i put my jrsc in....but my crap stock clutch
s2k i see run 14.5 but jrsc ludes run 13.1-14.4 np....

Schwett,
I have raced Two S2k's a Stock and a Modded from a First Gear punch. Both S2k's had a lil advantage. I let them do the honking. I had no problem putting 2-3 (and gaining) car lengths on them what so ever...

I paid 21k for my Prelude. Add 4k for the supercharger and instal and you have 25k total. Thats quite a bit less than the 33k it takes to get an S2000. I have never seen an S2000 run in the 13's. It may be possible but I've never seen it. Most modified ones I see run mid 14's and occasionally hit a 14.3. It seem to me that with the hp and tq advantage that a JRSC Prelude has and based on times that most Prelude owners run, that is should be a good race but the Prelude will win.
odd, i've seen most s2000's hit very, very low 14's.
one down here at englishtown went 13.8 with an intake. i think the car did a 2.1 60 foot.
let's not even start comparing dollar for dollar.
a s/c prelude price for price will never match an s2000 in the curves or straight line. you can't beat factory speed when properly honed by the driver.
$21k new for a prelude, $4k jrsc, clutch $300-$400, i/h/e $800-$1000+, suspension, $600-$1200+, guages/electronics/accessories/etc. $300++++
preludes are awesome but in the end an s2000 is a much better investment especially if you plan to dump a whole lot of cash into a prelude. of course this is assuming you bought your prelude new.
3 of my friends have s2000's here.
one-white (had for almost 2 years now), exhaust, coil-overs, intake, 17inch te37's
two-yellow, coil-overs, front lip, jdm lights, intake, exhaust, 16inch te37's
three-yellow, custom system, suspension, 18's (17's before), front lip, custom t4 turbo (mva, hackensack,nj) (formerly comptech s/c)
these cars are all unreal. and the thing is they were just plain awesome stock.
think the lude for sure......the s2k is hard to launch but so is the jrsc but i am 100% i could beat a s2k...we should try schwett once i put my jrsc in....but my crap stock clutch
s2k hard to launch? probably more tricky... but RWD is more likely to have the advantage off the line....
And the fastest STOCK s2000's have hit 13.6. I myself have done 13.7. The better drivers can break 13's no problem. On my BAD days I get 14.3's....
And though an SC'd lude may ultimately be able to get a better 1/4 mile time, you are still looking at cornering, braking, handling, and top down, wind-in-the-hair goodness from the S2000. And stock, the S2000 looks better IMO, and probably gets more attention. (no offense to the luders)

But I still can't figure out what the F**K you just said
the s2000 is a nice car, but i dont' think i'd ever get one. it's so damn impractical of a car. no torque, its peak power come only towards a lofty 9000 rpms, you may as well be ridin a crotchrocket. my buddy's dad autocrosses his miata and walks all over the s2000's all the time. i'd be ashamed if i was drivin an already overpriced honda with a 240hp 4 banger and gettin trounced on by the much less powerful miatas that costs so much less. (sh*t i've been drivin an overpriced honda and gettin beat by less powerful and less expensive cars, then i had to spend $4000 just to be able to get my overweight and overpriced honda to start beatin on some cars) what are you gonna do you know?
