NICE VERY NICE

 

That tells it all but the seat of the pants test drive. Thanks for the link.

 

finally some clear and detailed pictures. not bad... imo..

I wonder if that motor's power is really that impressive.

 

i dont like the exterior 2 much.. but the interior is vrey niec with the 2tone seats. i lke the headlights 2, i wonder if they are capable wit the 03' and older

 

Looks good. Reading all these specs makes me wonder if its' possible to "duplicate" some of the revised stability in the rear by using the new alignment settings. The old rear toe setting was 0 degrees 19', and now they are listing it as 0 degrees 10'. Anyone have enough experience with this to have any idea if this would help to "tame" our back ends as well?

 

Real World Results

What is the impact of these manifold improvements to the S2000's drivetrain? By Honda's own figures, the car offers substantially better acceleration in each gear, offset only slightly by the reduced top speed potential in each gear (in the older car, thanks to the slightly taller gearing and extra rev capacity, you're able to hold a gear a bit longer, resulting in better acceleration during that brief period where the '04 must upshift while the '00-'03 is able to remain in the lower gear). In time-to-speed terms, Honda claims the new car can accelerate from 20-50 mph in 4.5 seconds (using only 3rd gear), vs 5.1 seconds for the outgoing model. In the 15-45 mph (2nd gear only) sprint, the '04 runs 4.5 seconds vs 5.0 seconds for the outgoing model.

 

Isn't this old news? s2ki had all the pics and info a long time ago

They weren't allowed to release information until October 1st, due to some press embargo act by Honda.

 

Interesting quotes taken from the specs on the engine.

* The engine code designation is F22C1 to denote the 2.2 liter size.

* Continues to use traditional VTEC instead of i-VTEC as on the K-series motors.

* Where F20C was known to offer significant power from 6000 rpms onward, the F22C supposedly comes on very strong at only 3000 rpms.

* Honda asserts that the '04 S2000 offers measurably stronger acceleration in each gear
