Amongst light weight RWD Japanese sports cars, the S2000 has been virtually untouchable in terms of driving pleasure, for me. But I’ve never driven a Nissan Silvia of any generation. Let’s throw this pristine AP2 S2000 into the deep end against an expertly modified Spec-R, the highest performance trim of the S15 generation, and see how it fares.
S2000 mods:
Mita MS-10 wheels
Spoon calipers
EBC Yellowstuff pads
Girodisc rotors all around
Stoptech forged brake lines
Injen cold air intake
CR bumper and lip
CR trunk and wing
Sony touchscreen head unit
Upgraded speakers with subwoofers behind each seat
Silvia Spec-R mods (partial list):
Fully rebuilt forged motor
TD06 Greddy turbo kit – 435whp on E85
Haltech ECU
Haltech IC7 dash
R34 5-speed manual
Nismo Super Coppermix twin plate clutch
Nismo GT LSD Pro
Blitz ZZ-R coilovers
