You of all people, Rexstang, should know that I'm used to small block V8 torque. If I ever get the Mustang dyno'd I expect to see over 300ft-lb to the wheels at under 3000rpm. To me, that's torque.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Joey's car is a blast, it's just not my kind of blast. Just a personal preference.

Now I wish I didn't sit in Wes's s2k last night......

 

normally i'm not very crazy about Hondas, but ohhhhh my. that s2000 is soooooooooooooooooooo teh sexah. everything about that car looks good in my opinion.

 

word... S2K is looking mighty sexy right about now.

 

I'm curious as to how the newer S2K feels w/its .2L more displacement in comparison to the previous one. Now with a Comptech SC, that's gotta be one mean chariot.

 

i test drove the 04 the other week, and i drove a 01 today (no FI test drives for me)...the 04 feels MUCH better...the power comes on sooner and it felt as if it had more pull...not just the +9ft lbs of torque, it *felt* more than that...the handling also seems more planted...it is one NICE roadster...it's awesome to have the sun shining, top down, and hearing the exhaust scream...i want one too...

BUT i already have a C6 Z06 on order, so i dunno if i wanna spring the cash for a S2k just yet...i think the newer one is a big improvement over the old, but i cant justify spending the money for a new one knowing i have another 2 seater on order...

 

wow man that totally sucks that you have the c6 zo6 on order already....

Aw man,

I was reading down the thread and though Rexstang posted.

Hopefully I can get him to make his presence known in a few days.

 

is bad. But I'm usually faster. He's my best friend. Period. I'd trust him with my kids. We both used to race mountain bikes. IMHO, he has a lot more car to handle, cause the @$$ end gets out on a rgular basis. Wait untill I get some tires!

don't mean to "resurrect" this... but Hondas are great cars- I've driven one of the earlier models (the ones that hit 9k rpm) and they are a blast. I'm kinda in the same boat as mr. pat olsen. my idea of torque is what my old mustang gave me.
but when it comes to ripping through the "twisties". the S2000 has my vote. i love the ergonomics of the car! (i'm 5'7" )

I Agree. I'm soooooooooooo tired of seeing and hearing them already. I also dont like the fact that when you see a bunch of hondas together there is always a few noce ones but the rest are ghetto

 

i'd love to take one for a spin but i'm 6'. they need to make an s3k for us bigger guys. great car though. saw a few at autox that were tearing it up.

 

I want one. The car fits like a glove and I'm 6'1, The steering is very quick and turn in is super crisp, not to mention the short throw shifter. If space is not an issue, there is nothing to not like about an S2000. Oh and I've never seen a ghetto S2K.
