If they both posted the same numbers, I would favor the 5.3 because it is backed by an automatic transmission vs the s2000 most likely having a manual. The auto will always shift the same no matter the driver, but the s2000 driver has a chance of not being as good at shifting, therefore posting a slower time.

[align=center]I think a Monte Carlo 5.3L V8[/align][align=center]would `Smoke a S2000 in a 1/4 mile,[/align][align=center]but I think the Honda would do better on a [/align][align=center]Road Course.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]



2004 HONDA S2000

Price as Tested:
$33,290[/align][align=center]

Quarter Mile speed:
97.2 mph[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I like the Honda s2000, but they are `highRev Zoner`s[/align][align=center]4-Sure. That`s where their power is.[/align][align=center]When they are Mod`ed with a Turbo + they `Scream.[/align][align=center]I rather have a Monte SS V-8 with torque : )[/align]

my money would be on the monte carlo myself. i agree with 'Space though, the S2000 rapes on the road courses, curvy backroads, on ramps, etc.
