Funny that people add comments like this when the car is essentially the same with just a bit more juice on tap.

I actually don't have a steering wheel, the turbo didn't leave room, so we had to remove the column and steering pivots and axle thingies. Instead, I drive with a passenger and we take turns sticking our hands out the window to use the wind to turn the car. Left! Right! Left! LEFT! LEEEEEFT! @@SLEFT!!**#(@*#$&*

 

Chris,
Are you saying that you still have a dash and seats... cause if so then I'm pissed. I didn't have room for any of that stuff. Who cares that I sit on a milk crate in my $32K car?

Turbos generate unpredictable power delivery and boost dump on the track, and have a tendency to suffer from heat soak. I live in tx, where track temps routinely will climb well past 100 degrees. Heat soak, preignition, unwanted, undesirable turbo spooling and boost dump, wicked intake temperatures, and extreme oil temps, all add up to poor and frustrating track performance.

Hey, aftermarket turbos may be great on the street (or dragstrip), but not on the track. Or autocross for that matter.

By track, I mean road course. On a road course, one has to use his steering wheel.

 

I'm not exactly a seasoned autocross veteran, but I think steering is easy.

My trouble is the gas and brake pedals. I'm fairly certain I'm never at the right speed going through turns.

If you have trouble modulating the throttle and brakes in your normally aspirated S2000, try doing so in a turbo'd version.

 

I think the real issue is that I end up being a chickensh|t and drive too slow.

I am all for making a car go faster, but I'm also all for keeping a car driveable. (and manageable on the track if I did that more)

It's very obvious that you've never driven any type of fast drag car.
