B Spec 6 lap each bone stock all aids off:
03' Type V avg: 1.06.992
04' S2000 avg: 1.06.202
S2000: .790 faster
I know I was bored I love doing things like this I have done many cars like this.
Conclusion:
In fact it's not really the same car. The S2000 feels more responsive and has a slightly more aggressive exhaust note and turning response. . IMO being that the 04' S2000 is 44.09lbs less should not be a factor why it runs almost a sec faster each lap. It has to be more than that. Maybe PD forgot that VGS is a good thing as stated below or forgot all together.
(From. Honda Worlwide)
The VGS system, which will debut in the S2000 type V, varies the steering gear ratio continuously according to vehicle speed and steering angle to provide a heightened "joy of maneuvering." The adoption of this variable ratio system ensures ideal handling performance through a broad range of driving conditions. Agile and exhilarating performance is especially noticeable on winding roads, since the front end of the vehicle turns sharply in precise response to driver steering input. While cruising at high speeds on expressways, the VGS offers a smooth and progressive ratio setup without excessive sensitivity, providing the driver with the relaxed and reliable driving feel of conventional steering systems. Astonishingly, the lock-to- lock ratio* is almost halved to 1.4 turns for better maneuverability in the low speed ranges.
Major Features of the type V:
The world's first variable gear ratio steering (VGS) system
Specially developed chassis (including damper units, stabilizer and limited slip differential exclusively designed for the model) in order to best complement the VGS...Exclusive "type V" steering wheel and VGS badge (on rear)
Additional Changes to the S2000 Series:
New body color: Midnight Pearl for all trim levels
Optional red-colored leather seats for all body colors
