Just when I thought I've seen every type of modification and new style to go into our s2000 I come across this.

Ladies and gentlemen, the first (and hopefully last) automatic LS1 GPW s2000. Don't get me wrong, I truly live by the mantra of to each their own and have nothing bad to say about what a specific owner wants to do with their vehicle, but putting an automatic transmission into a car that was meant to be for car purists and enthusiasts is a little much for me. I know it's an LS1 but something about American muscle and Japanese sports car just don't blend well.

What is everyone else's thoughts on this?

 

f@#k

 

those two words should NEVER be associated with an s2000...automatic and LS-1.

darcy

 

Seems like a good deal for someone willing to swap the auto for a T-56 and have a pretty badass car. Plus it's got the Ford rear end. The car would be indestructible.

For anyone who would be contemplating a motor swap I don't know that I've ever seen a better deal come along. Just the parts cost for an LS1 + Ford rear would be $4k+ used, not to mention the labor to get it all to fit.

 

guess they couldn't get the hood to close all the way, lol

 

The cutting of critical frame support to fit an LS1 renders that S2000 useless, and as far as I'm conserned, "totaled". Sad.

 

some of the welds.....look like a 6 year-old did it.
