Take a look in the street encounters forum. Lots of kills in there, ferrari's, porsche's, vette's. (Just remember, the max iq allowed in that forum is 11).
Nothing beats a S, especially in the twisties!

I'd like to think that I'm an intelligent fellow... and I race, and race often... though, I've looked quite stupid on a few occasions! Obviously if I was to crash... that'd be "so stupid...", but hindsight's always 20/20... You never know till you try, and to experiment/experience is to learn! So hat's off to all of us who to try to better ourselves!!

My car feels slower than stock on the low end (by a substantial amount), but it seems to pull more like a freight-train on the high-end.

Starting to think the compromise isn't worth it... might go back to stock... or sell the exhaust/intake and use the money towards 4.44 gears.

What modifications did you make that contributed the most to that sensation?

The Spugen exhaust is what caused me to lose my low end power. It sounds awesome, but thats about it.

The AEM CAI was a good addition, and I don't think its caused any of my losses. The combo. of the two certainly has improved my high end though. Even before I had the exhaust, on the track I was consistantly getting about 5-15 kph faster speeds on the front straight than the other two s2000's out there that day... and the one guy is an *experienced* track guy... it was my FIRST time.
