Good aerodynamics, stability ( notice how most supercars are very low and very wide? ) , and defenitely panache.

If I had a 15" dick, what would keep me from being a pr0n star?

If you knees bent the other way, what would a chair look like?

If the S2000 had 500HP, it would cost ALOT more than it does, it would have different sizes for the tires and would almost certainly have either a different weight balance, or need to be almost compeltely redesigned. Also people purchasing cars at that "level" tend to want more creature comforts, which would change the car again.

Overall, I would say a 500HP S2000 would be nothing like the S2000 you have now so it's impossible to say what it would be like.

why would 500 horses cost alot more? the chevy v8 is fairly cheap. balancing the car wouldn't be rocket science esp with a FM set up.

agreed that the s could be lower and wider ala nsx.

just a fun idea to muse over.

The 500HP version of that engine only comes in a $75000 car.

Actually Z06's go for @ least 81K since they sell those Z06's with accessories already + mark up price, but is nice sometimes to go to fantasyland and imagine such things but again we wouldn't own it cause with 500hp that thing could cost @ least 98K and is a no no!!

If you had a 500hp Honda Element....

Oh wait, Honda did make one for drifting competition....

V6 with RWD.

I agree, not rocket science.
