In this one life you've got to try alot of different things to get the most of your one pass thru this world. So get the S and then get something else and keep this going the rest of your life. Don't delay too much along the way...you never know when your ticket is up. Live it while alive!

SC'ed S2000s without aftercooler put down about 260 on stock boost. with aftercoolers, about 310. once you up the boost you can get in the 400s though.

My first car was a 91 supra turbo...did you do a tt conversion? Mine was only single turbo and it gave me problems when it got hot....and when there was significant humidity in the air i.e. rain or dense fog. Regardless of all the trouble, I loved that car, seeing your's reminded how fun mine was. Sadly I wrecked it after only a year and a half. btw Boostnloost, your's looks familiar. Did you have it listed for sale somewhere? Regardless it looks great!

actually i had this car imported from japan to canada a while back. This model was only produced in japan and it came with a 1jz twin turbo which i swapped out for a gt35r single


oh and really they make about 310rwhp with an aftercooler? thats not bad at all actually i could live with that!

thanks for all the help guys, i can tell the s2k community is very welcoming thanks

I always enjoy the change from torque monster to razor, and then enjoy the change again when I go the other way. Variety is the spice of life.

Even with an SC, the S2000 is going to feel weak compared to your Supra, but if you're ready for an inertia car (where you make time by not slowing down) then the S2000 is a wonderful car.

With CTSC/AC my early AP1 makes just under 300 WHP, and is as reliable as a stone. Virtually nothing compared to a hot Supra, but if you want to carve up the canyons, the S2000 is hard to beat for the money.

For comparison, one of my partners has a Skyline R-33 GTR that was putting down about 600 WHP before turning a bearing, and when he was running S03's I could eat him up in the twisties (as long as there weren't too many long straights).

Given what you've said here, I think you'd enjoy a supercharged S2000. Do you know anyone who has one in your area? There's really no substitute for a test drive.
