I agree with cbeyond... lol Honda, you've given him so much crap about maturity and his grammar so quite frankly... for him to do that was funny! LoL so viet is azn... that's "gonna" turn rice! Welcome to reality.. many people do that now.. especially to civics, and well an s2000 with a s/c... that's a woah already.... but viet... lol you won't be able to smoke everyone... heard about an NSX at Javier Guiterrez's shop? It's getting a twin turbo with air- to- air intercooler built in, and it's estimated finish time is in one month... it's power... reving roughly 1k+ hp and could top 12k+ rpm... How's that for power?

He PM me a few times and I got sick and tired of him so I had to show him my side of "ghetto talk" ya know wat i'm sayin?
vietboy,

You are a completely useless tool. I PM'ed you a few times?? Really??

Post them up then for the rest of us to see. I'd like to read what I didn't write. The fact that you would lie to the rest of the people here trying to convince them that I am as young and immature as you is quite amusing.

Thanks for your help in advance!
Thanks in advance??

I am sellling my Vortech Supercharged S2000 for quite a bit less and I have more useful mods.(headunit, Doore speakers, amps, and a custon trunk enclosure, Clutch, flywheel, Presure Plate, front brakes, VAFC, etc..) Of course I have a lot more miles too.

My auction on ebay for details.

Go with a supercharger, I don't have that much S2k knowledge, but I finally got to take one out for a couple of hours from a "Local Friendly Honda dealer". If there is any performance car that needs a supercharger or a small turbo it's the S2000. The thing is completely gutless until 7k rpm. I think the engine characteristics are great for the track, but they are garbage for the everyday driving. Basically you have to rev the car's nuts off to get it moving. I was as greatly impressed with the handling as I was disappointed with the power. It did make me feel much better about driving my miata though.

Yes, if I get the S2000 I will be missing the low and mid range. The car has a great top end especially for a small 4 cyl, but it comes in way too late. When I drove the S2k, the closes thing I could compare it to is my TZ 250 (2 cyl, 2 stroke race bike), it's great on the track, but for driving on the street it's terrible. I guess you can't get the power and handling for $30k

Thanks for all the advice on learning on how to drive. Actaully my part time job is an instructor for California Superbike School, and I instruct for a local BMW club (track days). My Miata has a 8.5k red line and start making power at about 3500rpm, but at this point it makes over 220 lbs of torque so it's not like I'm new to the all hp on top engines. The point I'm trying to make that seems to elude you is it's supposed to be a street car. I don't drive like a F1 driver on the street, if you do I hope you don't hurt yourself or someone around you. That's what the race tracks are for. I feel like I'm talking to a answering machine that keeps saying "just rev it and you will learn". An S2k has no torque and that is what gets the car to accelerate. Yes it's fun to rev the piss out of the car once in a while to get it moving, but not when you need to do it all the time. I'm not even conserned with the excelerated engine wear at the higher rpm range vs something that doesn't peak as high as the s2000. If that kind of power delivery is ok for you, that's great, I just have a bit higher expectations for the money.
