Default 500WHP Evo or 500WHP S2000... whats cheaper?
500 awhp Evo 8 or 500 rwhp S2000...

which would be cheaper to build, including built forged internals, headwork, and drivetrain...plus tuning...

assuming cars are bought stock at the same price...

well the 500rwhp on the s2000 isn't realistic to begin with because the differential is going to break before that unless you've done something to it or swapped it out.

500hp evo is gonna be cheaper. Plus in the long run it'd probably be faster as well.

The Evo. It'll do so more reliably. It'll be faster in the 1/4 (maybe not on the highway). It'll be cheaper initially, and also in the long run. It'll also be easier to find people with experiance building that motor than it will the F20C.

If it were my money, I'd do the S2000 ( <--- that's not a typo)

evo...but you should ask chapter8 on here...he's had both cars so he could probably give you a better idea.

lets be realistic...

500whp in ANY car is NOT reliable.

ask for a s2k I have been in a 500whp s2k and All I can say is nasty.... fuckin nasty...

Give or take we broke a axle doing that.


Now...

awd is fun but then agian that drive train isnt up for 500whp either. sooner or later something is gonna break in that as well...


save your self the trouble. go build a race car and keep it to the track only. and get a daily driver. there for you stay out of trouble and still have alot of fun and wont give a fuck or bitch when it breaks something.
