Before diving into the battle, let’s get to know the challengers and their cars as they prepare to face off against each other. First up is Matt Rojana and his AP1-generation Honda S2000. While the motor's been left mostly stock, with just a few bolt-ons and the factory tune, the rest of his vehicle has seen much more work done to it. It has a J’s Racing wing, Voltex front bumper and Revamp Composites Challenger splitter to give it better downforce and Nitto #NT01 tires to help put the power to the pavement. Where his true advantage comes, though, is in track experience. With over 30 visits to Big Willow, he knows exactly how to push his car to the limit!
In the other corner is Hana Burton and her ultra-clean 2021 A90 Supra. The engine has been left stock, but since she already has an advantage in the power department, that shouldn’t hold her back. Outside, she’s added an Ings aero kit, a Verus wing and lowering springs. She’s also upgraded to Advan R6 wheels and Nitto NT01 tires, so there’s an even playing field in the grip department. This may be Hana’s first time at Big Willow, but trust us when we say that’s not stopping her from pushing hard into every corner.

[@AnotherMotorist]

Indeed, I've come close to selling my S2000 few times. Had a cammed C5 450whp vette and then some at the same time owning the s2000 in an attempt to dethrone it. S2000 stays with me other cars sold to make way for a companion car/keeping the S.

You obviously never owned a Vette to declare something so foolish

I own a 700whp mkiv supra. I miss my stock ap1 sometimes.

[@smhvito]

@@titusrome2863 sometimes your favorite car isn't the most popular or greatest on a spec sheet, but the car that appealed to you personally the most whether that be by sound, feel or appearance. I used to own a 400hp r32 gtr and also got a few chances to drive my friends 600hp r32 gtr, plenty of modded STIs, FD rx7s and out of all the cars ive driven, ive personally enjoyed an nb miata, integra type r and a r32 gtst the most. They weren't the greatest or most specced out cars by far but for me they really stood out and had their own style individually. I haven't been lucky enough to drive an s2000 yet but i've heard so much great things and it might be in the near future. 😁

[@demetriusford]

This year, I had the hardest decision to make between buying my first sports car, a '21 MK5 or an '06 S2000. What really made me buy the the S was the constant feedback that it gave me to improve as a driver. Granted, it's not for everyone as it's not the fastest car on the lot, but you are greatly rewarded for every incremental change in skill.

[@GreatDrums.]

S2K still holdin it's own! Respect!

[@JmouaRUAM]

I’ve never really noticed Honda’s S2000, until my brother bought one and made it stupid clean, no big wing and no crazy body kits, just rpf1’s and lowered, not slammed or bagged. After seeing his build, I starting appreciating the S2000 more and more!

[@JmouaRUAM]

[@192lalo]

S2000 still relevant compared to modern cars. I sold mine a few months ago. I’m already miss it. I own cámaras, m3s, and by far the s2000 is the best. Hp and torque does not make the car fun. In my opinion the s2000 is an over engineered car. That will stay relevant until electric cars take over the world. A true classic which will be worth 100000$ in a few decades

Great video. I have an AP1. The new Supra is tempting to buy, but I would have to sell the S2000 to make it happen and I just can’t bring myself to do it. The S2k definitely could use more power, but living in California there’s no way to legally do it without buying some old used F.I. kit. That’s one of the only reasons I’d even consider the new Supra.
