The S2000 is capable of 200mph, and aerodynamically so. I've had my stock S2K to 161 (indicated), other peeps have had small mods and got to 175 (indicated)...do a search. The Coefficient of Drag is not groundbreaking, but it would allow 200mph, many cars have gone faster with higher CD's. My feeling is that you would only need a supercharger + a few more mods and a new Final Drive. Of course, this says nothing of the car's characteristics at that speed. Imagine what the engineers thought when the back end started to lift off the ground at 190 in the previous gen Corvette .

The car will do 175 with minor mods, who needs 200?
