How about some pics to compare also?

 

Done!

 

all good fun but as an ex owner/driver of a bone stock s800 i can tell you it was a bit of a dog.....it was twitchy[the trailing arm/chain-box rear suspension was most likely at fault] and REALLY had no low end...you had to buzz the shit out of it to get anything[not nearly as pleasant as my s2000 above 8000]...in contrast my old 997 mini cooper could eat the honda alive...about the same time a friend had a series 1 lotus 7 with a 850 BMC and it was way faster and better handling than either of the other two.....you may also note that most of the s-cars tested by the japanese magazines have been modified...[note the velocity stacks on the one photo and the fat rims on the other..trust me these things came with 3 1/2 rims and bias ply tires...not to mention a kremlinsque air filter.]

they did,however have the coolest steering wheel!!!!

 

Nevertheless, Excellent Post!

I enjoyed that!

 

very nice.... i personally like the Datsun 2000 roadster
from the late 60's. 2.0 liter with 150hp was huge for
that era. I think it did

 

dbw,

Did it look anything like this one from an S600?

 

Great post dude.

 

Very interesting... will an s2k really hit sixty in 5.3??? and the quarter in 14 flat? Thats great if it can!

 

Even still, I would love to have one of those in the garage to compliment the S2K. If only as a conversation piece.
