no, its not the clutch, just the fact that the first five gears are longer, so u dont have to shift to third just to hit 60.

Maybe he's referring to the lighter clutch in the '04- I know I didn't like it.
Why do you prefer a heavy(er) clutch?

If money is not a factor, then you should purchase an '03. Afterwards, just buy '04 wheels/bumpers/headlights/tail lights/exhaust tips and you'll be happy with the way it looks. Oh and also don't forget to get interior bits of the '04 for your '03 if you want those looks also.

Who cares? Why is 60 mph always a benchmark? Do you race to 60 mph and let off the gas?
If so, why 60? Because magazines post 0-60 times? In some states, the speed limit on interstates is 70+ mph. Why not be concerned with 0-80 mph?

stop looking at numbers and what people say. if a guy owns a 04 of course he will say 04 is the best or he likes it better than 03. Same goes for 03 owner and say 03 is better than 04.
I agree with you, but the irony is, the person who tested the car also the co -owner of Temple Of VTEC (UL), drives a an earlier model, not an 04, so if the theory holds true he should be in favor of the earlier models.

The local S2000 club had 2 04s dyno the same day as 03s and found they make nothing - maybe 5 hp more.
