Clio 197 vs Honda S2000

Was browsing the youtube and found this old movie: :bounce1:

I've waited for the S2000 driver to react, that's why 535d had such good start.


This is Clio 197 with V6 airbox, Miltek exhaust & 200cell cat & remap.

Honda has carbon CAI, exhaust,...

535d is stock (usually we're the same 0-180km/h).

Focus ST is Stage 1 (IC, exhaust, intake, remap).

Lol what does that show?! Apart from a BMW interior lol?!

 

[Raptor6767]

S2000 0-200km/h - slower than Clio 197

BUT - rolling start - 50km/h, 2nd gear - S2000 faster by 2 lengths.

It didn't give a good indication of how the clio 197 and s2000 got off the line as most of it was viewing the interior of the 535d BMW. lol

S2000 had a poor start - I could get even better start, but I've waited for the S2000.

Not a cat in hell's chance a rwd s2000 would be slower to 124mph.

Lousy driver. IMHO.

indeed not with that v-tec engine 9000rpm :cloud9:

S2000 is definatley faster then a 197/200. I've done some rolling drags with one and it was faster everytime!

 

[Raptor6767]

And this one was faster in the rolling start - by 2 lengths of a car.

I've owned an S2000 and a Clio 200 Cup both for 2+ years, a healthy S2000 driven properly is noticeably quicker from standstill and rolling.

Corners and wet roads will see the opposite.

My Clio was 3-4 lengths of a car faster than stock 197 at that moment.

my mates S2000 used to kick my arse! They are 2.2Vtec iirc??

 

[Andy S2K]

I had a New Brand S2000 and now a brand new Clio RS Gordini CUP. THe S2000 is faster but not so much. In corner I go faster with the Clio RS because I feel more relax and the chassis seems to be more hard and flat. Also the front traction help with the "scary" of a no wanted drift.......
The S2000 and rain obiusly is more fun but also slower....

My tuppence worth. I've owned a R27, a 200 and a S2000.
The Honda is a quicker car, but the Renault is much more easier to drive quickly.
We all know the 197/200 and S2000 have no torque hence why the diesel beemer pulled like a train.

 

[Raptor6767]

In the normal driving conditions my 197 was as fast as the 535d E60. Only in the wet the 535d pulls away when doing 0-200km/h.

0-180km/h
50-180km/h

After 180km/h 535d starts pulling away (2 lengths of a car when doing 200km/h).

Tried with 2 different 535d and drivers too.

It's the 272hp model.

2litre!!

Hence the 2000!!!!

 

[trailerparktrev]

2litre!!

Hence the 2000!!!!

There was a 2.2 litre version too. Known as the AP2 (2 litre - AP1) it was only sold in North America and the engine in this one unfortunately doesn't red line at 9k rpm.

Had a bit "detailing day" today...

He (S2000 driver) asked me to clean his airbox/filter.
