Wish we had the European option of choosing the 04 in either engine setup. I'd be all over the 04 with the 9k engine!

In Europe you can't order the S with the 2.2 engine... you can only get the good ole 9k baby

You guys in the US complained too much about little torque and now you want the 9k redline... can't have everything...

Ciao

I just don't understand the infatuation with the 9k redline. Maybe I'm just getting old.

why would you need a new dash cluster - the 04 still shows the 9k redline - i suspect they use the same dash everywhere

why do you want a 9K redline. I mean logically think it out. What would that do for you. To me it just means you have to wait longer to shift that slick shifter.

Now to your topic. You would need stronger rods and a lightened valve train to make it the least bit reliable. Does anyone happen to know what the S2000 race cars in Japan redline at? (Amuse, J's, ASM, C-west)
I know for a fact that Amuse uses the USDM engine.

Which means, for once every other country got the watered down engine and the U.S. got the more powerful engine. Everyone in Japan wants USDM parts now. How ironic. And if the U.S. was the only country to not get the 2.2L everyone in the U.S. would want it.
Put that in your smoke and pipe it
