doesnt work

 

SLK32 vs S2000

...check this one out.

Dumb *** Civic

 

rofl at civic, ahahahahahaha

 

haha that just shows how gay civics are

 

worst car ever

 

HAHAHA... that civic video was pretty funny.

Sucks for that guy though.

 

was the s/c s2k comptech.. or a different company... cuz a fully comptech s2k has around 350 hp...and if i'm not mistaken.. the s2k weighs about 400 lbs less than the 32amg... so.. technically the s2k should be the victory....

this would all be correct if the car was a FULLY comptech s2k....just my $.02

 

Nice car AMG chick. If I ever get out that way maybe we can race, 4 door sedan vs. 2 door convertible. How do they let you race without a roll cage, or does the pop-up top exempt you.

 

hahahaha that civic movie is hilarious...
i used to own a comptech S2000, grand prix white with red leather, 18" Volk rims, Comptech S/C, HKS Exhaust, full c-west body kit, OEM honda spoiler, and a bunch of other goodies here and there. I ran close to 357 HP... it was a very quick car, and i did beat a C32 and an E430. Very impressive car. I sold it because i wanted a benz, and i didnt want a "ricer" so instead, i bought my CLK320! i know its not as powerful as my S2000, but hey, it turns heads.

The S2000 was your basic S2000 with the 340hp Comptech S/C Kit. The winner (from a roll) was totally dependant on start speed. First race, S2000 won because SLK was at low rpms but too high to downshift. Second race, S2000 wasn't in "VTEC" so it lost. 3rd race, both cars were even as both were in the powerband at the start.

2 cars are very evenly matched.

 

Here what you guys need

Hopefully my after X-mas mod for C32.

First a stock SLk 320 !! can run high 12's Secondly a blown S2k doenst really do a whole lot. It takes a few tenths off. IT add Hp but no torque to speak of. You MAY get close to low 13s with a blown s2k, of course your gonna need a new reenforced driveshaft etc. Also the HP is SO high in the RPM band even the best driver will have a problem because the lack of a fly wheel causes the car to drop like a rock as soon as you let off.

Sorry but a 357hp s2k AINT gonna beat a slk amg with drivers being remotely close.

 

How can you race from a roll? Ever car is different in the power band. I can beat an LS1 if i get lucky from a roll in my M.
The only true way to race is from a stop. The S2k had a complete advantage because it cant launch to save its life. Unless you are an accomplished drag racer I cant see you breaking high 13;s in a blown S2k.
They are great track cars dont get me wrong, but on the street......

 

I really hope you mean the stock SLK 32 AMG.

Wow, where do I start here...

240hp --> 340hp without changing the rev limit. Tell me how you can add HP without TQ there. Assuming the HP peak is identical, there, TQ will have increased a minimum of 42% at the peak HP mark. I wouldn't call 42% gain in TQ as no torque to speak of. Yes the S2K is fragile. That's why we race from a roll. And umm, S2K's have flywheels. All road cars have flywheel (exception being the McLaren F1, if you consider that a road car). You obviously don't understand what the purpose of the flywheel does.

It doesn't take much skill to drag race the SLK 32 AMG. Hold gear shift left and it drops you in the right gear. Floor it when it's time to go. But in case you think it does take skill to drive in a straight line, the driver of the AMG is an avid track ***** and is a very quick driver.

And that is why we raced from different speeds.

We're not too much into drag racing, we did the run just as a power comparison between the 2 cars. Besides, stopping in the middle of a highway is kind of dangerous.

 

The SLK32 runs mid 13's 13.5@105.2
The SLK230 runs 15.0@92.3
So The SLK320 might run low 14's

Centrif blowers sux, they do fit in small places like a turbo unit, the root type blower on the SLK32 is much more at home on the drag strip.

Those 18" Lorinsers on the SLK couldn't have helped its cause too much. Great videos. If you guys think Civics suck, try driving a WRX with wheels and an exhaust. Every ricer on the street tries to race you. I am looking forward to a C230K Sedan this summer.

 

Now your comparing a FWD car to an AWD car a WRX is not a Civic, The WRX started as a sporty car, the Civic strarted as an Econo-Box.

Hey all,

Your going to be seeing alot more of me since my new purchase decision. Anyway. Does it really matter who won the race. The honda will always be the honda. There is no comparison of a car like the SLK AMG to the S2000. The only thing the S2K has over the AMG is its a manual and it revs to 9k. Which btw there is nothing like screaming under a overpass on the eway at 120 with your car at 8500 rpm, ill miss that for sure. Other then that the amg is just a class or two above it.

That's a pretty ignorant thing to say. I hope you didn't switch to the SLK just for the Mercedes-Benz name.

 

No there are numerous reasons i chose to go with a SLK AMG. You really want to know the main reason. Customer service. Honda has no clue how to handle the clientel that the S2K brings in. They treat them like civic owners. 36 grand which is what i paid for the s2k is minimal compared to the AMG, but none the less you pay that much you expect to get some sort of decent treatment. Mercedes treats thier customers like everyone single one matters. Honda treats them like "I dont care about you, we just sold 3 civics to make up for if we lose you". Honda is a joke through and through. My experiences have done nothing but show me they have no class and no clue how to deal with people and thier issues. Secondly the AMG is just a classier, more luxurious, more performing car then the S2000. Not to mention to hard top helps considerably. Is that reason enough for ya?

 

Much better than "The honda is just a honda" .

BTW - Welcome to the Club.

 

Thanks

Man I was just reading on some of topics with service issues. **** I dont want to go through that again. lol here goes my honda story.

2500 miles, 5th and 6th gear synchros goe - TSB fix.
3500 miles, clutch goes - Warranty denied "Driver abuse"
so I purchased and fixed on my own.
7000 miles, Rear diff goes - Warranty Denied "Driver abuse"
so I purchased and fixed on my own.
8500 miles, I take the car complaining of the second gear grinding. Am told Its my driving habits. I complained about this all the way back at 2500 miles and was told the same thing.
12000 miles, Second gear goes in the tranny. Warranty Denied "Driver Abuse."

These have been whats went wrong. Now for how the ********s handled it. First issue they originally blamed on driver abuse then fixed after I *****ed. They never told me it was under TSB till months down the road. Clutch they used the tire wear and excess material in the trans to say i abuse it. My argument, ZZ graded tires were no more wore then they should be at those miles, and of course there will be material, ITS A BLOWN CLUTCH. Little to my knowledge that a issue that i also complained about at the first visit was a vibrating noise coming from what sounded like that trans. Well loe and behold there was a TSB out for that such sound and it called for the replacement of the clutch disk for the springs were bad. Then the rear diff goes, no arguing that. Now second gear. The synchro went bad and now is completely gone. The car shifts into second or at least appears too but goes no where. My question. Why didnt they perform the Second gear grind TSB when I complained about it. Because i didnt bring it up. They took horrid advantage of me. Which is why im sueing them. In the mean time, until i feel like forking up 3500 for a new tranny im stuck without second gear. Oh and where is my car now. LOL Honda service, why, because i took it in for a oil change and the check engine soon light was on. They told me it was fault codes for the oil change and it will stop. Comes on two minutes after i leave the dealer. Still no word on what it is. This my friends is why i am leaving Honda and will most likely never goe back to Japanese engineering ever again. Oh and I fought Honda my self. There answer was our District Service reps are gods and we will not over turn his desicion. So too court we go.
