Allright. I've seen plenty of videos of S2000's that are NA and handle very well, but does that mean it can't be force-fed and still handle pretty well?
What do you think??

I've always thought that since the power from a turbo (I know that's not the only kind of forced induction) isn't linear, especially with throttle position, that it would be difficult to modulate power out of a corner. I don't have any f/i track experience though, but I'm interested in this as well.

plenty of force fed tuned S2000 track cars out there - they do VERY well.

this is off topic.. BUT I LOVE THE NEWBIES CLICKY! ALEJO! HAHAHA..

lol /\

clarification, SOME of them do well, there isn't that many and I wouldn't know all of them.

Yeah, I know there are plenty of f/i track cars and they do well, but having no personal experience I didn't know if they were being careful or if it was just nice and controllable. Good to hear it is

god sthu the AP1 engine and its HP, its one of its kind. 2.0L producing 120HP Per litre, no engine in the world can do that. 4 banger for life. if your so concerned about s2000s hp dont buy a s2k get a 350z v6.

I have the CTSC/AC, wich is the most conservative FI setup, and from a handling perspective, the primary difference is that the car is much more responsive to throttle inputs than it was before the FI. Handling is changed very little if at all, and there is more power available when I want to hang the tail out and do a long power slide, so in that respect I judge the handling to be improved with the addition of more power.

LOL, it does not make the car any easier to autocross or drive around town, but it does make it a lot easier to drift.

Hey man it was a simple question. You don't have to yell at him about it. The s2k wasn't built to be a high horsepower car, but it's his car and who are you to tell him what to do with it.
