I am referring to your main post. that's what most ppl will be reading. I for one (and most ppl reading this from here on) did not browse through this whole thread because I already know what's going to be said. If you want your point to be taken the right way, update your main post as i stated.

 

I'm sure there's NSX references being made but that's what this thread reminds me of. Thing is a used NSX cost way more than any S2k. So if you want a fun car, with speed, FI is a good way to go on these cars and there's a few good off-the-shelf kits that seem DD-friendly.

Maybe you should change the title of the thread... S2Ks are in trouble? Really? How are they "in trouble"? They do what they do, and that's it. For some, it's fine, for others, it's not what they look for. That is not being "in trouble".

Mine is bone stock, and does everything I want from a car. I couldn't care less about what the guy besides me at the stoplight is driving. I'm having more fun in my car than in any other I've driven. That's all that matters. When it doesn't induce pure fun anymore, I'll buy something else. And that won't mean it's "in trouble".

 

[QUOTE=8kGoodENuff,Nov 7 2008, 12:26 PM]Really?

 

Good job, you got six pages, are you happy now?

 

Thank you.

To the OP: Sounds like you're trying to avoid admitting what you posted. If you're really not concerned about straight line power, then give us some other details like timing around the Virginia International Raceway or something else that is not directly related to straight line speed.

All I said was if you don't want to be misunderstood, then re-do your main post. Doesn't sound like it's that hard to do.

Honda S2000 CR (what honda considers to be their best S2k from the factory)
S2k CR:

 

[QUOTE=s2kwhitepanama,Nov 7 2008, 11:53 AM] S2000 is SLOW ... but is hot and sexy
- brings so many attention
- is unique and are rare unique here in my country we are only 5
- s2000 have so nice interior design
- s2000 is a street car for circuit , winding roads and auto x porpuse not for drags
- s2000 with his 237 hp is good enought to make the fight to many cars in straightlines and wait for the CURVES
- S2000 i think that is special have his own category or is like the m3 e36 , lotus elise , porsche 911 , nsx is a far for pure enthusiasts .


vs the rest of the world

- cobalt ss wrx srt 4 hyunday tiburon sti evo 350 z solstice eclipse etxx
- cobalt ugly but fast
- wrx fast but looks like a 4 door sedan

i still love my S2K and this love is going to be for a long time i prefer to be in a true sport cars that a sedan or a FWD or a coupe wanna be sport car........... my 2 cents



disculpen mi ingles pero soy paname

 

i think most people are missing the OP point. he understands like all of you that the s2k is not about power. and that is not the lure of the car for people. he is simply stating that from a business standpoint and from an economic standpoint this car is terribly outdated thus reflecting is poor sales and limited production. at the same token honda realizes this that's why they still make very few of them. i think it is not their intention to have this car be a factor in their business model. they just make it for the sake of trying to squeeze out a couple of bucks from a model that was designed to be a 2-3 year thing almost 10 years ago. i'm sure they never thought it would still be in production nearly 10 years after its birth.

that being said, i think the op is understanding of this, and is just trying to say that instead of letting it die out... with a few minor upgrades without having to change the chassis they could easily bring this car back to the same competitive status it was in when it first came out. i tend to a agree. while this is a modders car, if they were to give it just a bit more power and the option for a few upgraded luxury items like in the japanese models (navi, maybe better stock sound) i'm sure this car would do much much much well and again compete with bmws and porches as opposed to friggin chevys.
