Well, I've driven both and I tell you the S2K is a hell of a machine. It's SO FOCUSED it's not meant for anybody. You pay the asking price for an engine, gearbox, and a steering wheel. It's a bit on the nervous side, which is sometimes a plus or a negative, depending on who you are...

I have seen both cars on the same track (Jebel Ali) for years and they run similar times. The S2K would be the twitchy screamer, and the E30 would be the one with finess.

My $0.2...

Bashar u watch touge battles ...right?
how come they pick the amuse s2000 as the "touge monster" if it is not a great car????

i always watch this show best motoring :)
i think if i'm a japanese guy and i run a japanese show and i have a very good japanese driver i think i need a japanese car to call it a monster :) like the "touge monster amuse s2000" the japanese people would be upset if the show will come up with a german touge monster :Checkflag::popcorn:

i know they never ran a german car on the touge because touge is a japanese culture, even the word "touge" is japanese
but review my posts i wasn't comparing E30 and S2000 or saying S2000 is better than german cars
i was just saying that S2000 is a great unique machine
an E30 is a legend no one can deny, and both cars r my among my admired cars, this thats why i said both are great

since the original video was removed from Youtube, I found the link above of the episode that has the battle, this is a recap dedicated to Ayham since we discussed the comparison between the 2 cars in Hafeet

Feel privileged to have tested both cars back to back on the same mountain road. The whole difference boils down to engine locations; S2K's mounted more away from the front axle compared to the E30. S2K fastest way to go around corner is a continuous throttle-steering modulation from turn-in to corner-exit, where as the E30 is very dependent on corner entry technique. From there, it's a gradual increase in throttle input with gradual steering unlock.

Loved both, true drivers' chariots. However, the S14 packs more punch than the K20, which is always handy.

the main idea in the driver and engine position of an S2000 is minimizing moment of inertia (something I never liked to study in university, if they explained it with an s2000 illustrative example I would have grasped it in no time :rofl:) most of the mass of the car is located very close to its center of gravity the overhangs are very light specially the front one since the engine is mid front
As I told you it is still amazing how Hardcore engineering works in the E30, something with late 80s tech can still keep up with a late 90s tech car but let me tell you S2000 is Hardcore as well since they minimized electronic aids
just one correction for your statement about president :) , S2000 has a F20C or F22C engine not K20A, the K20A is the type R EP3 civic engine

with all my respect to the HONDA.... BMW rules

[reak6ion]

wat mahmoud was sayin resumes the whole story: the S2000 is an admirable car,the E30 is a Legend...
