Thank you.

To the above post: get use to it. Until Honda gives this car some more power and torque, MANY cars (and types of vehicles) will be catching and passing it.

The SRT8 Jeep is just as quick as the S now.

I'm with you. It's getting kind of long in the tooth. I saw what was supposed to be the 2008 redesign in one of the car magazines and thought it was ugly as hell. Then again I think, the new Skyline is ass too.

The article claimed the 2008 was going to have a 2.4 liter variant of the K24 motor.

It all depends on the track though. A track with lots of straights certainly won't show the '2k's strengths. It's not really that light of a car either. It needs to go on a diet or get more power. Preferably both.

like many people have said before me: the S2000 isn't the fasted car on the planet. There will always be cars that are faster. Even SUV's.

as you can clearly see in the video she dit have more fun in the S2000 going round the track. that's what counts in the S2000: Driving pleasure and a big grin on your face

haha this Murano hardly compares to the S2000, it is all there in the episode just listen you fools

Shitty response all around, etc. etc. the only thing it really had going for it was a slightly tightened up suspension big brakes and big power, it had the same P/w ratio as the S2000, this proves just how important light weight is around a circuit.

and nearly 3 seconds slower is hardly similar.

It shares the same platform as the 350. Bad for the 350 but good for the Murano. I guess that's my biggest gripe with the 350.
