Default S2000 losing its soul

Am I the only one who thinks our beloved S is loosing its soul?

"new" for MY2004:

No more F20C
No more 9000rpm redline
No more 120HP per liter
"SMG" sequential gearbox ???
A pure sportscar should not have SMG, IMHO.

I do! I'm planning of buying mine in six months...

And what about the price? I think it's going skyrocket...

Is this all confirmed?

No more F20C
No more 9000rpm redline
No more 120HP per liter
"SMG" sequential gearbox

All I had seen any evidence on was the 2.2 litre

Nothing is confirmed until September/October. But if the new S has a new 2.2litre engine it's for certain that we loose 9000rpm redline and the 120HP per liter record.

Ferrari Enzo has an SMG gearbox. I'd like to see it as an option.

S2000 loosing it's soul?

OK, so it's not a brand new, state of the art vehicle anymore? So what! It's still one heck of a fine roadster with above average performance and top of the line handling. Everyone knew it wouldn't be king of the hill forever. Does that means it's lost it's soul? I don't think so.

JMOOC!

Drive Safe,
Steve R.
