Nothing is really wrong with either car. They both fulfill what they were made to do.
SRT-4:
Was made for cheap, straight line performance, nothing more, nothing less. Nice hp, nice torque. It's a fast car for an affordable price. Wasn't made to be a sports car, just a good straight line performance machine that anyone could afford.
S2000:
Bred for the track, nice hp, not a whole lot of torque, not the best to mod. Made to auto cross, not made for straight line performance. Made to be a pure bred sports car for a decently affordable price.
Why even compare the two? Opposites. Different things float different peoples boats.

Wow...that thread went down to "my dad is bigger then your dad" in my opinion. Not a single one of them made an educated point on the last few pages. All forums have a few people they would rather not have representing them as a group. It's a shame it's those that always seem to get themselves heard.

Funny thread. My favorite part is some guy with some ancient beater J30 bashing other people, priceless. "Yeah man, my mom's hand-me-down sedan is slow, but I'm willing to argue about cars that run 13s on the internet. I rule!"

correction. it offers good STRAIGHT LINE performance for the money. if you're looking for any OTHER kind of performance other than that, you're money is much better spent on something else.

I never said anything about staged upgrades. Hell, I haven't even heard of the staged upgrades. All I know is that Psi-fi tested their car and the stock bottom end, tranny, clutch, head, etc etc was FINE until they pushed over 500whp. That means to me that a stock clutch would hold 400whp for a good long time.
