Am I the only one who thinks the car is perfect as the way it is?

I agree about the HomeLink & airbag cutoff, but you must add a Paddleshifter option. Put in a Formula 1 engine, and you really need a F1 tranny...

Of course better brakes- bigger dia, slotted with cooling vents. Adjustable coil-over shock/spring units all around.

Then why all of the extra add-on stuff listed under your signature Seriously, I, too, think that the S2k is wonderful as is, but there's always just a little more to be added. For example, I did leave out the need for a 2 litre V-12...

1) Decent floor mats (that cover the "humps").
2) More sound insulation to roof and canvas roof material, with automatic boot cover.
3) Better sound system.
4) 17 in. wheels and better bridgestones (More treadwear).
These additions would make this car ABSOLUTELY perfect. And, as you can see, it isn't really too much to ask...
Cheers,
Daniel

Ok.... in reply to greybeard

manual windows look jankedy. And no airconditioner, im in Texas man, an a/c is completely necessary. Top down, the air conditioner still needs to be on full blast. But another upgrade could be an upgraded a/c One that blasts 35 degrees would be nice.

2.5 liter V-6 with 300 horsepower, and give it a 6-spd transaxle. (to keep the 50/50 balance)
Dump the digital dash for real guages.

Just don't "improve" it too much. It'll stop being an S2000 and probably not worth owning.
