down the hill the 4wd power train cars will alwayz suffer understeer. cuz of it's 4 paws
downhill race is not a power race....
the winner will b decided by how well balanced each car is.
S2k is a 50/50 weight distributed car just like the MR2 and the NSX. and ligher than the EVo and the STi.

Thats the thing with AWD - if you launch them hard they will break (but be VERY quick)....or if you launch them carefully they will bog down....its hard to launch a AWD that you plan on keeping for a while!
Thats not exactly true.
With the older rexies they would break their gearboxes quicker then u can say 'opps' ops:
But the new MY02+ STi and their 6 speed gear boxes are pretty much unbreakable...in japan they ones with 700+hp and still on standard gearbox...u can do 7000rpm launches all day no worries. the drive shafts would probarly break b4 the gear box does.
But i think the evo would win pretty easy. if they are all stock though.
Interestingly, I work for Subaru and we get quite a few MY02/03 STI's in for gearbox rebuilds :roll:
Id just like to say, Subaru has got nothing on Honda Go s2k
This debate will require you guys to download the TOUGE battles between the AWD, FWD and the RWD... high octane packed... of course.. many find it hard to beat Keiichi in his Hachiroku... but yeah.. the videos will answer all your questions ....
No. You are completely utterly and could not be any more wrong. The s2000 will have the poorest take off of the three. The STi and Evo are both awd drive 6 speeds, meaning you'll have a traction advantage compared to the s2000 rwd drive train. Add to this that the the STi and Evo will hit max power a few thousand revolutions before the s2k, as well as the added torque from the forced engines. With the honda out of the picture, the Evo will outdo the STi in take off due to its computerised torque balances between the front and rear drives.
If the S2k done right it doesn't need alot of power to win the touge just total balanced setup, Best Motoring proved that against a Evo 7 just as EuroAccord13 said.
Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
