on a sidenote, i believe the only production honda to ever produce more torque than hp is the new cr-v...

 

I'm putting money (a whole 2 cents) that by the end of this thread, what we'll have what would basically be a REAL VIPER!!!! OR.............. maybe a car that will beat a real Viper!

 

Hmmm... I would love to see a slight HP bump, more torque, and an SMG tranny with Type-V steering

 

I do not see anything more stupid on my post then your answer Alexxxx. S2000 has awsome proportions and look. All we know that all we miss is more torque which is coming with bigger engine. New viper has also awsome look similar to S2k - both cars were designed by japanese btw.

I would pay top dollar for S2k looking car with good torque and I am certain that I am not alone on this forum.

 

i hope they just release a Type R version, a little more torque and horsepower, even better handling, and weight reduction... but if they don't 2.2 liter sound reasonable i don't own a s2k but i'm saving up for one... a little worried that if i actually buy one... something better is gonna come out but its good to know that you have the 1st generation (the orginal)

 

i wouldn't trade in my s2000's slick sixxer for any other MT, much less a semi-auto!


but to not feel too left out, for xmas i want...

3.0L NA V-10
