1. congrats on buying an S2k!!!
2. a good mod for better acceleration would be to swap out the FD for something taller
3. that little "spell check" button under the textbox where you write your post and www.spellcheck.com will do you wonders!
4.its a well established fact you like your S2000
5. the S was NOT made for drag, i repeat, NOT made for drag!!! just as i wouldnt think of making a mustang handle
6. you want more torque? BUY a DAMN V8 muscle car!!!!! get used to it, the S is a 2.0 / 2.2l 4 cyl it isnt about brute force, but finesse and agility
7. if you dont like the S2000 as it is, but are in love with it, then maybe you should get yourself another car as well
p.s. i also have driven faster cars, but could care less, and im certain 99% of S2000 owners will agree, there's always something better and faster out there, it isnt about owning the best, its about owning what you like!

I like 3, 6 and your ps.
Wonderboy, I hope you learned a little bit more about your S.
Try to make it to the Holiday Party this weekend... I'm sure there's a bunch more questions you have about the S and we are more than welcome to help you out.

#3 even IF there was a valid argument somewhere in his posts, any shot of taking it seriously was destroyed purely by grammar. also, the site admins paid quite a pretty penny for forum code that had a built-in spell check and it pains me to see it go unused
#6 is just a question of suitability
and for the ps, i think it could be extrapolated to all car owners, not just us S2k folks

This thread is entertaining.
Wonderboy25, I don't know of any bolt on aftermarket mods that will give you the horse power and torque you are looking for. Even though you eschew FI, you may want to follow the BR Performance forum ( http://brpforum.infopop.cc/eve/ubb.x?a=tpc...27&m=927100089). Brant is developing a Roots blower kit for the S2000. His similar blowers for the Miata have reputedly delivered good low/mid-range torque and hp.
After having modded my Miata with FI, coilovers, and some bling-bling, I took the
