Before you open your big ing mouth maybe you should do some research on what the you're talking about so you don't come off sounding like a stupid ing bitch.

Amuse built this S2000 as a dedicated track time attack race car. Their goal is to be the world's fastest time attack S2000 ever built. This is a track race car, not a street car, although they are making a limited number of kits for sale to their customers. The body panels serve an aerodynamic purpose. Rice? Hardly. Rice is a stickered up Civic with a big body kit and fart can that serves zero purpose on a street car.
Someone's a bit touchy today.... aren't we? Got up on the wrong side of the bed? You talk to me about not reading too much into things, maybe you should do the same. Oh and yeah maybe shoot yourself was the wrong word, and I didn't mean it LITERALLY.. but DAMNNNN. I see how it is, and it's a real shame though.

Anyway I wasn't talking about the "motor".. but my opinion on the car's looks, stand. It's ugly as sh*t, looks just like one of them riced up Civics. The same way they try to make the car "Aero dynamic". I don't have to read up on anything to give my OPINION on what a car looks like.

Agee with Spa - this is ugly - way to much on the exterior. The car has lost its panache.

I guess Tommy lives by the "form follows function" rule (not that that is a bad thing). In one aspect, because each piece does serve a particular purpose, that in itself makes the car beautiful. However, on a pure aesthetic viewpoint, I agree, the car looks like a transformer (that can't transform). One of the nicer things about our cars is the subtleness of the lines and curves that create such a sexy shape. I'm sure we can all appreciate that.

It's a bit elitist to go off like this, so much as to call someone a bitch.

New issue of Super Street has an 850hp S2000. Not really fond of the kit on that one as well but with 850hp not to many people have a chance to look at it very long.

if it is the orange one, that is a socal guy, and that car isn't putting out 850, i'm sure it is damn fast and pushin high HP, but 850 isn't accurate.

oh and here is a shot of the back that i like, not sure if i like the whole kit for my car though.

Its too bad, in Japan this is hailed as the king of S2000's. Unfortunately here in US, it doesn't get the same recognition as it deserves, except for people in Cali or in the know. Again this is a race car, it is SUPPOSED to look like this. But I guess some would whether drool over a stock S2000 adorned with Rick's badges.

Personally, I would LOVE to get ahold of a second 02 GPW AP1, send it to Amuse and have this kit w/ turbo installed. That would be a dream for me!

I can't wait to go to Japan to see this car in person, but until then here are more photos for you people to spill more hatorade on.

Nice wheels.
I think the article on the 850 hp S stated that they were or would get that power with a shot of NOS. I only scanned the article, but I think without the nitrous it still had 550 or 600 at the wheels. I don't know anything about the funny gas, and if it would give that much gain, but I think that's how they reached 850.

What kind of wheels are on the ugly white car?
