i've heard rumors that the '03 will have 260hp.

Thanks!
Automotive News reported last week that the S2000 will be restyled and receive add hp in 2005. So don't look for any hp changes in 2003 or 2004.

i heard the '03 is being retuned to be more forgiving (in the handling department); also, i've heard a glass rear window is in the mix

so, if you want an s and wouldn't mind driving a used example, definitely go for a second-hand. i would think the girlier suspension in the 03 would take away from the fun factor.

I can't wait til June/July of 2004, when eveybody starts to perdict/make up what the '05 model will have.

For example:

1) 3.0L, Inline-6, with 320hp. 18" wheels. 2800lbs.

2) 2.4L, I4, with 270hp. 17" wheels. 2600lbs.

It's gonna be a warzone here.... Friends would become enemies..... Buddies would become "PAL!"......

No -- I have a copy of the 2003 sales brochure, no engine changes.

No mechanical changes are being made for the 2003 MY. The rumors of a re-skin on the 2004 are accurate, believe it or not.

According to most dealers, they stopped making the S2000 in 2001.
