"Will Honda soften the temperament of the purest sports car sold in America? Official S2000 details won't be released until the Tokyo show this month, but our spies suggest yes: more displacement (2.2 versus 2.0 liters), a little more torque, a little more elbowroom, a modest face lift, lower revs, and a softened suspension."
-- Car and Driver, October 2003, page 88

Look like they agree with the general perception around here. Let's hope it isn't softened too much.

 

maybe their spies are on this forum @_@

 

More elbow room . . . would be a good thing . . . at least for me.

 

lower revs am i glad i got this model

 

The way it sounds to me is that they are tryin to make the S more like a Z......... more cc's, more torque, lower tach............thanks but ill be keepin my 9000 monster......both of them

 

I sure hope they change name, I don't want anyone confusing my s2k for that slush box.

Hmmm, we're ripe for an automatic version.

lmao...........I could start talking bad about the Z car, but I feel that this thread will become an all out Mugen vs. Nismo battle if I do.

 

Not that i care about any mag's opinion that much, but the blurb on the 04 in Road and Track was all positive about the proposed changes - I do not have it memorized, but they said it would be "faster off the line" the "improved performance required changes in the intermediate gears", and "handling refinements"? Where is the sturm und drang in that? All this proactive hatred is amusing though...

 

Amusing it is, Road Rage.
