Sketch2000 vs eBay S2K - Thunderhill West S2000 Track Battle of the Century

[@tornike.bokhua]

Wow, amazing video, so much fun. Good job!

4:04 - When you Honda but your heart belongs to Subaru 😂😂😂

[@FlyinGato]

tires are going to make a big difference, especially if the track were dry. You should battle again with a dry track.

[@DevinGalyean]

@flyinGato of course you'd be on here! I raced my CTR this day too at thunderhill, first few sessions were wet but later it dried up and man what fun when your tires actually get good grip!!

[@ChaseJunkie]

Great content, video was funny af!

[@kenbarclay1461]

Nice video, I’d be thrill with a 1:26 times. And yes, it’s a lot easier following then it is being the leader. Im hoping for a new video from the e46 m3 you were going to drive/ review....

[@Zygrene]

M3 video should be out later this week!

[@DIYGuysvideo]

Wooo 1:26 is fast

[@NickDelgado]

Do you remember what size wing stands you had on with the voltex type 1s wing on your yellow s2k? 245mm? @zygrene

[@kmaobongkmaosreh]

what race group organization your in? Im looking to get more track time with my car.

[@Zygrene]

This group was OnGrid. I usually run with SpeedSF.

[@kmaobongkmaosreh]

Cool 🤙

[@msabbagh4518]

What size CE28 do you have? Spacer for ST40?

[@Zygrene]

17x10 +44 no spacers. BBK fits perfectly

[@msabbagh4518]

@@Zygrene You fit 255's and roll the fender?

[@cloudhidden1196]

Gotta say, the lack of Eurobeat really seems like a missed opportunity here.

[@Zygrene]

Oh trust me, I wanted to use eurobeat but I'd probably get flagged haha

[@haaake]

You can definitely take 5W and 8W flat with those A052s. NO LIFT!

[@MastRk]

Two accounts? now i see why you dont post anymore ;)

[@Zygrene]

It's funny because I used to go flat at 5 and 8 with Federals. This time I didn't have enough time to build confidence due to all the black flags, lost sessions, and rain

[@sampowell3465]

[@christianherrero8053]

Those look like the same gloves ricciardo is using now

[@Zygrene]

I mean I'm basically as good as Ricciardo so it makes sense

[@intimidatorespinoza7950]

I will post a lap in my S and show these money bought project cars how it's done. Mine is fairly stock and any upgrades are done by me .

Intimidator espinoza you can give constructive criticism without being an asshole.

We are all waiting for your amazing lap times.

[@intimidatorespinoza7950]

@@DIYGuysvideo at no point was I being an asshole , just saying machines can outclass a pilot as it happens in the video. I do enjoy your videos but didn't know you were allergic to criticism, dang boy.

[@intimidatorespinoza7950]

Both drivers are easily outclassed by two very good machines. Money can buy the machine but not the skills.

[@johnd9357]

I’d be willing to bet you’ve never even driven on a track. Usually the most vocal critics are the least experienced.

[@intimidatorespinoza7950]

@@johnd9357 trust me Mr Anal hurting girly . I've been and constantly go to tracks up here in willow springs. I also drive an s2000. All I can say is he's too critical with the steering, takes more skill than what you know.

[@Alex-eu7ls]

@@intimidatorespinoza7950 Post a lap video then.

[@johnd9357]

Alex Chen yeah, pretty much this. I don’t know of a single person who tracks their car that doesn’t record the sessions with a GoPro, or at least their phone using track addict. Just by your extremely emotional response, calling me names and such, no lap videos, I’m going with you’ve never been on track.

[@intimidatorespinoza7950]

@@johnd9357 haha not all of us are full of ourselves, trust me pre madonna you really can't take criticism well at all. If you can't accept that you have flaws then you obviously can't improve on it.

[@intimidatorespinoza7950]

Less unnecessary steering jerking and you'll improve your lap time . Look at the pros F1 drivers and you'll see how less unnecessary steering will upset the car less,and the result is faster time . Looks good in camera but not good in paper.

[@KuostA]

LMAO you fucking fail little boy. Go back to playing NFS.
