Default S2000 w/SMG

how many here would like to see the last year of the S2K with a SMG transmission with f1 type shift paddles and six gears. gear ratios would be the same as the manual and it would be nice if it had some f1 technologies such as launch control and different shift settings.

or, still have the manual available but have a limited edition smg model. if this option was available how much would you pay for it and would you trade your current S?

i'd rather have the S with smg than an S with a retractable hardtop. if honda had to have it one of their cars the S2K should be it. yes, they've been playing the formula 1 angle with the S2K since its inception but this would make it even closer to their f1 cars.

I would pay nothing for the flappy gearbox.

Never. Even if I were to purchase the BMW M3, I would still choose the standard 6spd gearbox. I wouldn't care if the 'smg' in the S2000 made it 1 second faster to 60. It would totally ruin the fun factor when driving this car. Rowing the gears is so much fun in this car. AHH I am going to go drive it now. brb. lol

I'd rather see a more power out of the inline 4 via turbo, stock.
