What's up with that Opera S2000. I've never really heard of them as a company in general, much less any info on their built S2000
Pick up this months issue of Sport Compact Car...they have a couple page writeup on that car...pages 66 to 72 to be exact.

Lets just say it has w/o a doubt the most chassis development any S2000 has ever seen....

Everyone was amazed at Cwest getting their S2000 down to the low 2500-high 2400 lb range...the Opera car has significant structural reinforcement, yet trimmed the weight of the S2000 from 2976 lbs to a lotus-esque 2167 lbs!!!!

..and no...they did NOT use a tube frame chassis..it's still the Honda Chassis, just frankenstiened into the most increadible hunk of metal I've ever seen

2976 pounds S2000's are just over 2800 pounds stock.
Sounds like an awesome car, I'll have to look it up online and see what I can find out.

My car weighed 3100 lbs with a full tank of gas in it when I dyno'd it, so 2976 sounds about right for a stock car.


BTW, before you comment on the HP rated in this dyno, this was taken on a Mustang dyno, which typically show slightly less than a dynojet, but are remarkably consistent. I've already asked about these numbers, and they are about right for an AP1 on a mustang.

Silentdancer,

You're speaking of the black and blue S2000 LM race car right? To be honest, I can't remember where I found that one. I believe I won it but my strategy guide doesn't list where I won it at. I do think there was I choice of 3 colors to mix with the black, there was blue, purple, and red. I chose blue (its an Air Force thing).

So yeah, I think I might've bought it. And if so, check the Honda section in the game and scroll way over to the end of the new cars list. Also, I think that since both A-Spec and B-Spec points need to be high, it also wouldn't hurt to beat the arcade mode races either. Try doing these things and see if you can find it.

VersionJDM,

The way you can post pictures made in the game to your pc I found by mistake.

First, you need to have an external jump drive (one thats a fairly good size in mb's will do). I use a 256 mb drive and have a ton of space on there for pictures!

Next, go to your photo options and select how you'd like to save your photos and where to send them, memory card or USB.

Select USB.

Lastly, insert your jump drive into the USB port located on the front of your PS2. (I don't think either port will matter)

Once your photos have been made and its time to save, the pictures should go right to your jumpdrive.

Then, voila! You can post your photos on your computer like I've been doing and also use them for desktop backgrounds, whatever you want really.

Thats it! Its so much more fun to make pictures now.
