Is this for real?????
http://www.mcclatchie.com/reviews/S2000R.html
"Honda's new machine is nothing less than frenetic: It has the heft of a classic British convertible, but the power to weight ratio of a modern Viper. Reviewers were nearly unanimous that the worst thing about the base S2000 was torque. Two more cylinders and tweaked cams absolutely slam that nail home: The R has 57% more peak torque, and at 3000 RPM torque is up 65%. Best-possible-speed launches are still tricky, and judging from the smell, you probably don't get to try too many of these. But drop the clutch from 3500 RPM and you can get to 60 in less than five seconds, blowing away everything else in its price class. Drop the hammer from 6000 RPM and you can play tag with a 911 Turbo."
S2000-R
Horsepower (DIN) 360 bhp @ 8300 rpm
Bhp/liter 120
Torque 230 lb-ft @ 6000 rpm
