S2000 vs Jaguar F-Type Track Day Test - Project ASS2000 - EP02

[@MrBigruss1988]

you guys are the Canadian import loving version of Roadkill... it's awesome

[@joebanks8075]

This channel has come a long way

[@Rideout5]

After selling my s15 I'm considering an s2k so decided to re watch this series. You guys have come so far in every aspect. These are still great videos but damn... your hard work behind the scenes over the past 6 years is definitely shown in your new content! I really hope you get the subscribers you need and deserve

[@the_track_enthusiast]

watched all of the episodes last night and have to say I really enjoyed it. You guys did a great job.

[@speedacademy]

+Tammer Elhabiby thanks! More coming on this project soon.

[@48763405]

you guys did great job i can't stop watching all the s2000 episodes

[@speedacademy]

+zj120cn Thanks! Glad you really like the series. :)

[@50nollieman]

That s2000 cost $4500?? A beaten up s2 here in the us cost about 9-13k :(

[@50nollieman]

***** really? wow

[@50nollieman]

***** OH I see. I was thinking youd find those kind of prices in craigslist. We do sometimes get s2000s in the junk yard but with big hits and chassis damage :/

[@scottquattro4685]

AdventuresWithAlan here in the uk it would be about £8000

[@OKMX5]

15k here in central Europe :((((

[@1990HondaEFHatch]

I guessed 1:31. nailed it on the head. haha. going to give this series the full run through. start to finish. instead of starting with episode 9

[@eightosaurusspelunk1598]

Wow... the seat in the S2000 sure seems to be a lot more rigid than that flopping and shifting thing in the Jaguar. I guess money and years doesn't directly translate to build quality.

[@speedacademy]

+Eightosaurus Spelunk New seats tend to flex quite a bit but the support the provide is pretty impressive for how comfortable they are. Plus, the have a vents to cool your butt while you drive. :)

[@doctorlobsteroctopus]

How is the production value on these as good as it is, and with only 32k subs?

[@speedacademy]

+doctorlobsteroctopus Thanks so much, glad you noticed. We're going au natural with the subs and letting it grow organically rather than paying for it.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

To beat a Jaguar F-Type 🤔 Supercharged Honda S2000 Chevorlet Corvette C7 base Nissan 370Z or BMW Z4

[@rastali]

Was lucky to own both .. you dont have to drive fast to enjoy driving them .. but then you do 🔥

[@UNKNOWNUNT1TLED]

thanks for the video guys there great keep them coming

[@lukasboy98]

I just found a s2000 for 4900 out here in a az with 206k miles but clean title and straight body.

[@Norrr3]

Damn lol.... They drove the hell outta that car

[@Blank_Immortal]

+lukas descourouez I just found one in NM for 10k OBO with only 7k miles

[@gigi9467]

Hey guys whats that box u guys use to record lap times were can i het it?

[@JavaRacingCo]

WHAT DID U GUYS DO FOR THE SHIFTER having problems getting into the gate??

[@speedacademy]

+Chris Avolio Not following you, the shifter is stock. We didn't change anything on it. The grinding is from a worn transmission.

[@st3al09]

Awesome project! Are you going to put this car on a diet and make it look like a race car or it will be a sleeper with performance mods?

[@speedacademy]

We're keeping the exterior mods light so it will be stock body for the foreseeable future. As for a removing weight, the S2k is pretty light already and we still want to street drive it so we won't be stripping it.

[@LavenderOrc]

4500 for an s2k?? They're like at least 10k for a decent one here

[@arslanbilly]

Got mine for 11k 64k white sparrow dual exhaust ap2 swapped trans and motor nexus 7 tablet info screen full audio spoon strut bar coilovers on comfort and the paint is clean was garaged it's worth 16k but since he was a good friend of my cousin he let us buy it cheap

[@mickeyhartsell6096]

Damn I can't believe 10yrs ago he bought that S2000 for $4,500, unbelievable now 20 to 60K , crazy..

[@4bryan4]

Ass2000 lol and awesome to find content like this from the GTA. cayuga

[@speedacademy]

4bryan4 Thanks! We wish a track like Mosport was closer and we could use it for more testing buy Cayuga is pretty much perfect for what we need and always available!

[@keithbrettell2058]

+Speed Academy I'm 5 minutes from Mosport(Canadian Tire Motorsports Park). I'd love to see you guys do some testing/tuning here.

[@speedacademy]

+Keith Brettell This season is sadly over but next year when we'll be out at Mosport you should come out as well. We usually let fans know on our FB page when we'll be at the track.

[@keithbrettell2058]

What series did you race in? I was there to spectate at a few races.

[@Proff0ak]

Trying to make an S2000 better than the current best roadster wouldn't fly now. Because the best roadster now is an R8 Spyder.

[@Alonsocesar90]

Where the fuck did you find an s2k for $4500????

[@speedacademy]

Watch the first video to this series as we explain it.

[@Alonsocesar90]

I'm hooked, i just watched the entire series. I really think this is one of the best series here on KZbin. Thanks for the great videos.

[@christophermurillo6106]

where the heck did you get a s2000 for 4500 dollars lol

[@speedacademy]

+Christopher Murillo Watch episode one :)

[@christophermurillo6106]

Sure

[@TheJordanGraff]

Canadian as fuck! Sorry for swearing eh! Car's a beauty now though ya hosers!

[@jnr1989]

how you dare to call "craptastic"a car that won so many awards in its prime? there is no way you can find a S2000 for $4500, thats the price range for a toyoa ae86 (off course, with all the drift tax and takumi tax included) btw I still will take the S2000 any day over that jag.

[@speedacademy]

You need to watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moiVnaiqbrGpbtU and then you just may believe that we picked this whip up for $4500. And you bet, we love the S2k better than the jag. Although, the S2k doesn't get the phone numbers from the ladies like the Jag does. Women actually run away from our Honda roadster!

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Speed Academy Yeah, it's a POS, but it's still worth 6-7K. Your friend gave you a deal which definitely isn't representative of the current S2K market. Price aside, I'm excited to see what you guys do with it. Cheers.

[@speedacademydave]

thepassionofthegoose if it had a clean title then I agree on your price range. But our car has a salvage title, is originally a American market car (which hurts its value in Canada because people are suspicious of cars brought across the border because its history is harder to track), and is on its second engine (scrap yard swap after the orientally was blown up). It's also hard for video to capture how bad the non original paint is (was replayed after being rebuilt from the wreck it was in before it was imported to Canada by our friend), or how bad the interior wear and tear is. We had it appraised and paid tax on $4,000, so the appraiser thought it was worst less than we paid.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

David Pratte Fair enough. In the states even a nonrunner with significant body damage will sell for around 4K, and our S2K prices are among the lowest on the planet. I might take a trip north and get a parts car. The drivetrain alone would easily sell for 4K USD, and unless the interior was previously covered in blood would fetch another grand. The body, wheels, and any extras would just be gravy.

[@nermket4849]

$4500 for a takumi car? Not anymore! Easily $10k near me (last I checked).

[@chadparker8198]

go to 5:58. My jaw is dropping looking at your flags:(

[@speedacademy]

+c p pathetic, we agree. I believe those have since been replaced.

[@keithbrettell2058]

You want to build this car for a third of the price of the Jag? Whose got $33,000 to put into a toy/track car/weekend cruiser?

[@speedacademy]

+Keith Brettell Haha, go look at most moderate built track cars and they have than into them very easily. Even, stanced cars that look like all they have are wheels and suspension can have 5-figure dollar amounts into them. It adds up fast!

[@keithbrettell2058]

I guess if you have a good job and maybe some sponsors and it's your only hobby...... I know cars can get expensive real quick!

[@thefree337]

+Keith Brettell and who would pay 100k for a car? that's is the real question.

[@keithbrettell2058]

Jon 9K Actually I know a few guys that could and have in fact done that but they're not your Average Joes.

[@thefree337]

Keith Brettell same. except my friends are sponsored by mommy and daddy. but for a 100k id buy a trophy truck and try to kill my self. not buy a fucking car. oh well, different strokes for different folks.

[@mazdaratti89]

Those are some sorry ass half ripped Canadian flags flapping in the wind, 5:16. All the while that American flag is in perfect condition. Lets see if the track can improve Canadian pride.

[@TheEpyonz]

I think the 981 GTS is the better roadster than the F type in my opinion.

[@speedacademy]

TheEpyonz We pondered the Porsche but wanted a convertible to compare to not a coupe, hence how we settled on the F-Type.

[@TheEpyonz]

Speed Academy Meant the 981 Boxster GTS! :)

[@speedacademy]

TheEpyonz Ahh ok, well here's our second excuse. Porsche wouldn't lend us a Boxster haha. It would've been a great car to match up against though!

[@OTTODARKHEART]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL $4,500? in what state?? they're at least $8,000, salvaged.

[@speedacademy]

In the "state" of Canada.

[@OTTODARKHEART]

it should cost more over there, they will go for 10k-25k over here, and Canada costs more.

[@speedacademy]

watch the first episode in the series and you'll better understand why it was so cheap.

[@aisu8481]

I SEE A RADICAL. So... beautiful...

[@gabrielromero4807]

Still would take a Honda s2000 any day over that gay ass jaguar.

[@illewmenadeh722]

same

[@marg2104]

S 2000.....

[@davidf2769]

[@speedacademy]

+David Favre Haggard Garage! :)

[@joshuavargas8475]

im so glad they dont use their horrible acting skills anymore haha

[@speedacademy]

+Joshua Vargas This was our 5th or 6th video so we were still kinda very new to it haha.

[@joshuavargas8475]

+Speed Academy well you guys surely became one of the best on youtube now (: cant wait for ur next video

[@admiralfloofz658]

Its Jaguar not JagWAAAR

[@Djamestm]

It's Jagwire you pretentious jagoff, lol. Murica! ;)

[@Sam-un5km]

people try to over price s2000 i don't see what for

[@illewmenadeh722]

It's a great car that won multiple awards and it's a future classic.

[@lamborghinicountach7370]

Nah they worth the price and its not overpriced
