Default Am I insane?

In December I trade in my 01 for a 03. I am very happy with the 03 but I have always been a bit disappointed with the lack of low end torque...Well now you say the new 04 will solve that problem... hmmm... What kind of low end torque do you think they are talking about here? Thanks in advance

The 4.44 are a little less aggressive, and may be better for people that still need the highway use out of the car.

You can still use the S2000 on the highway! Just shift into 5th and see if you can live with the RPM level. If so then your fine.
