I believe that many people in this forum are in denial that the S2000 needs more torque. I bought an S2000 after driving a 99 Corvette. Boy was I disappointed. The dealer was an asshole about not letting anyone drive the car unless they bought it. But after I bought it, I felt as if the low end power was rather weak. If I have someone else in the car along with some groceries, I feel as if I am driving an RSX. We need a V6!!!

 

No words could express my thoughts of this post... so I'll leave you with some icons


I seen many happy s2k owners... if you like your damn Corvettes that much just stick with them. Why did you even post this in the s2000 talk? ahh!

 

well duh......the 99vette is/will be faster than any stock s2k.

 

Just like I said. Many people are in denial. Also, PlasticTHUG... have you ever driven the S2000 and/ or the Corvette. If you have, you would know what I was talking about.

 

By looking at the specs, you should have known that the S2K, in terms of top end acceration, is like a Integra/RSX on steroid. Off the line is still not quick (Normal street start). Most N/A 4 cylinders are like that.


If you need torque, wait 8 months for the 350z convertible.

 

I own an S2000 and am very happy with the car, but I would have liked a 2.4-2.7 liter V6 or I6 better. The car is NOT perfect, although way closer than most. However, nastinupe, you should have insisted on driving one (even a used one at another dealership if need be) before plopping 35 large down on the car.

Honestly, what did you expect? Did you not know you were buying a four cylinder? I think if you truly were a car person you would have done a little more research and driven one before your purchase. Even at worst case you could have gone out and test driven a used one!

btw..I own a vette as well and I do know what you are talking about, but I don't expect to get 250 lb/ft of torque out of a high strung 4 cyl unless I do some modding.

 

Is it good having equal hp and torque like some modern cars today?

 

But didn't Honda just use a V6? I rode in a CL S type and was blown away at what the S2000 could have been.
