thats imposible for the s2k, cause 1 of the stages is full electric motor w/ the combustion engine shut off... unless u want a hybrid s2000. The 2 other stages is what our VTEC already is, low and high speed.

this is from 2005 btw

That would give the s2k a 0-60 of about 21 seconds

I understand your points but they could manage for the electric motor to help with torque and give us that little extra boost on the low end we need.

They have made electric cars faster than Vipers so Honda is on track to help make more power with electric power and less fuel comsuption.

**** making an eco friendly sports car. Honda F1 was the laughing stock of f1, saying that they were contributing less to global warming by not being able to make it to Q3.

The new M3's v8 weighs less than the e46's I6... honda should just give us a Inline 6 w/ more power that weighs almost as much as the I4.

Less weight on an engine doesn't mean less fuel consumption; althought, I don't doubt they can make it.

Honda is not the laughing stock of F1 by any means. What they are trying to do is to bring awareness about global warming.

Money is nothing but a symbol. Life is everything we got and know.

1) honda is the laughing stock of F1, i'm telling u something that was published in the Red Bulletin (F1's track newspaper). 2) i guess u don't follow F1, cause they're gettin there ass wooped by Super Aguri, Honda's B team made for Takuma Sato... anyways, they're using Honda's chasis from last year and they've spanked teh factory team in the 3 races so far this season. 3) honda payed ~4 million dollars to a british agency to find them sponsors for this year since Lucky Strike left... so 4 million dollars later they came up w/... hey paint the car like a globe and advertise eco friendly. Its F1 not grandam. And yes money is everything cause good teams spend between $300-600 million per season!

about the s2k... u can't just put a heavy powerful engine in the s2k, or else there goes the weight distribution and our speed advantage. our 237 hp engine lets u beat 350z's because we weigh significantly less in chasis and engine.

I don't follow F1

Ok, they are the laughing stock of F1.

Sadly they are struggling with the car.

It's only being 3 races. The season just started. Super Aguri has a sorted car while Honda is sorting theirs now. Sadly is the way F1 works, sometimes you don't make the right desicions on time and pay for them the rest of the season.

Our S2000s are not faster than a 350Z in accelaration (whatever you were made to believe, a street race doesn't determine that. Specially with some kids that can't even parallel park), they are fast enough to stay close enough then take them in braking and turning points.

Who said anything about putting a heavier engine in the S2000?

actually our performance is par with a 350Z (atleast with the 300hp version and under, the 07 might be a different story). trust me my cousin has one and its pretty much a drivers race, hes driven my car and ive driven his, and the end result is the same.what they have in weight they make it up with Hp, what he have in Hp we make it up with our weight and gearing.
