If you're talking Boxster, well, that's a well done vehicle. As was mentined before, the S2000 is a pseudo mid engine, so the setup is quite good. But rear engine? Hmmm - tough fit, and the oversteer would be horrendus - especially if you hit VTEC in a tight turm...

The question is: what is with all these what if the S2000 was this, that or the other posts lately???
Who cares? It is what it is....it is what YOU bought.
Just get out and enjoy it for what it is rather than trying to second guess the wisdom of the Honda engineers. They didnt spend millions on R+D for nothing....

The question still remains...what if the S2000 were designed rear engine rear drive?
I think if the S2000 was designed as a rear-engine rear-drive car, then I am sure it would drive like a rear-engine rear-drive car.
So just to add to the "what if" list, what if the S2000 was designed to fly? How would it drive? What if the S2000 was designed with 4 seats? What if the S2000 was designed with 4-doors? What if the S2000 was designed as a SUV? What if the S2000 was designed to weight as much as a Hummer? What if the S2000 was designed with tracks instead of tires? What if the S2000 has an engine that runs on water instead of gas? What if the S2000 ...

Our car is more front-mid than front anyway. The overall power difference would be around 10 horses, which does not offset the incredible oversteer you'd have.

Anyhow, I actually like the front mid-engine/rwd layout on the S2000.

I think everyone is missing the OP's question. He is not asking about MODIFYING the existing S2000 to a rear-engine car. He is asking if the S2000 was DESIGNED as a rear-engine car.
