Who's making a big deal of anything? I just enjoy the banter, thats all im saying.
Example of a pointless post = [quote name='FurY' timestamp='1355934405' post='22219621']I'd go base model if you choose to supercharge.

FurY, why would you even suggest this? I assume the OP already has CR, and now he's considering SC'ing. Do you really think that because purist frown upon boosting a CR, that he should go buy another S to boost, just to make a purist happy?
I agree, nothing wrong with boosting a CR necessarily... totally up to the owner.
OP - Best of luck in your research and do whatever you'll enjoy the most. And what psychoazn said is true about it being unforgiving... I used to own a turbo S2000 and can tell you that it's a lot more twitchy in the bends when you have that extra power.

I've heard a lot people with a turbo'd S say that the characteristics changed. How so? I'm curious to know, almost curious enough to buy another S just to put a turbo on it and see how different it is than my SC'd CR.
Having a basic SC kit with a Hondata tune, the characteristics havent changed IMO, it's just faster with a smoother transition to vtec. Then again I havent tracked my CR so i dont know how different it is when taking it to the limit.

A Stock S2000 (bolt-ons or not) comes with a level of balance that in unseen except in VERY few cars (RX-7 FD3S, NSX, and now the FR-S/BRZ). Once you turbo the car in ANY way, that balance is destroyed. You will never again be able to corner under a state of slip/zero-counter unless you're a driving god or a computer. Not only does it drastically change the weight balance of the car, the power delivery is no longer predictible.
Most supercharged cars can still be driven like a balanced car, but that is no longer the fastest cornering state for the car; it is faster to drive it like a vette.
And yes, I pity all the garage queens out there (minus a few who DO drive their other cars hard...)... I'll freely offer driving instruction to ANY CR owner who asks.

I just see it as "this car was made to be driven, and I sure drive mine, and encourage others to do the same" lol.

Yup, I agree full-heartily that Mike goes by that mantra.

If you want to boost your car, I'm all for it. It's always been in the books for mine, and I still plan on doing it. (yeah, I've been saying that for 4 years now... approaching 5)

I have zero plans to ever go boost but that does not change the fact that I believe a bone stock CR with a supercharger would be an absolutely awesome HPDE car. Obviously track pads and fluid would be needed. You would have great out of the box handling and then the power to match. I think it would be a blast!

Imagine the terror such a car would have incited....

psychoazn, what kit do you plan on going with? It looks like Vortech pulled the plug on getting 06-08 kit CARB cert as it no longer states that its pending or approved. I'm hoping that Kraftwerks gets their CARB cert, I might just get that kit.
