[1989therat]

Welcome to my 3rd GT4 write up. Today we are looking at the other tuner S2000's. These are a step above the last S2000's I wrote about. So this should be loads of fun.

The competitiors:

Spoon S2000 Race car (200,000cr)


Opera Performance S2000 (150,000cr)


and the Amuse S2000 R1 (150,000cr)


The Spoon S2000 has 271hp and weighs 1050kg.
It comes standard with Racing Super Hard tires,Brake balance controller, Racing Suspension, Full customizable transmission, Downforce ranging from 8-13 front and 11-18 rear, and Full customizable LSD.

The Amuse S2000 has 258hp and weighs 1120kg.
It comes standard with Sports Soft tires, Sport suspension and has no customizable Downforce.

The Opera Performance S2000 has 270hp and weighs 930kg
It comes standard with Sports Soft tires,Sport suspension and Downforce ranging from 0-30 front and rear.

The first test will consist of 0-60 mph,400m,1000m and Top Speed.

Our next test will be a quick B-spec lap session at Apricot hill. All the cars used their standard tires and no modifications were made to them in Arcade mode. B-spec bob ran 10 laps with each car.

1.Opera Performance S2000
Lap time: 1:32:497

2. Spoon S2000 Race car
Lap time: 1:34:360 (I also A-spec'd the car and ran consistent 1:29's and 1:28's)

3. Amuse S2000 R1
Lap time: 1:34:761

So the winner of the competition is who? Well I would have to say the Opera performance S2000...it beat all competitiors in all categories..it tied in 1 and that is the price. That said I hope you enjoyed my little comparision..Heres some photo's I took while testing these cars.

Well?

 

[gt_masta]

Well he wanted to show what the fastest tuner s2000 was and I think that showed me that th e opera has a significant advantage.

Good write up 👍 But I still prefer the Amuse S2000 R1

 

[speed_freak]

i also noticed that the opera handles much better than the R1 but for some reason people dont really like it.

 

[TeamWilliams F1]

i like the opera

 

[1989therat]

I love the Opera...hell..the R1 is a drift car..thats why the handling isn't the best.

 

[1989therat]

Good write up 👍 But I still prefer the Amuse S2000 R1

Thanks

 

[DJ-CiviC]

Opera wins = weight advantage Its the lightest S2000, so it means better handling and its faster

 

[spykerdriver]

A great write-up.
I still like the Spoon. Because it's named after an eating utensil.

 

[1989therat]

lol..the spoon is an awsome car. I'd love to have it in real-life.

What is amazing is that the other two are practically race cars but the Amuse is a tuned road car. When you take that into account it performs surprisingly well.

I have tested all of them too. The Opera was too twitchy for me so I now prefer the Amuse as my S2000. Is it really a drift car as 1989therat said? To me it feels like a race car, not so sliding at all.

 

[1989therat]

In real life it is a Drift car..but the game doesn't really portray its drifting abilities very well.

I have not done any S2000 testing in this game, but I did extensive testing in GT3.
I like your write-up and your format.
Well done.

Try the road S2000 as well and let us know how it does.

 

[1989therat]

you mean the actual Dealer S2000's..or the stage 1 tuner S2000's..I already did those.

 

[Greycap]

I guess he means those sold by Honda itself.

 

[1989therat]

Well..I might do that tonight.

 

[Alfaholic]

I'm stunned that a 150000 credit tuned road car can beat a 200000 credit race car that is based on the same chassis, has more power (ok 1bhp is not exactly an unfair advantage) and is cruising around on race tyres. And this is not only in a straight line but also around a race track! The weight advantage must have more impact than I would have given it credit for.

Nice test. 👍

 

[TeamWilliams F1]

I would like to say that these cars are great for the Nur 24hr because they dont have to much hp but they have enough to take the lead.

 

[1989therat]

Thank you all kindly.

 

[ving]

opera is teh king.
thnx for the info

 

[1989therat]

your welcome

 

[Supra Saiyan]

In real life it is a Drift car..but the game doesn't really portray its drifting abilities very well.

uh no...since when has it been a drift car?

 

[GM]

Nice writeup 👍
My favourite one is the Opera S200, all the stickers make it look cool

 

[pzygho_freak]

Not bad...

The Opera is so light and is packed with decals on roof, hood and side.

I like the Amuse.

I hate to revive a dead thread, but is there a link to the stage 1 tuner S2000? And for the record, I love both the Amuse and the Opera
