My imagination but are Honda S2000's

I would take my car to 8k in between stop signs if it felt as good as a f20. The only reason i don't do that to my car is it smells like burning oil an 20 year old motor when I reach my destination.

Underpressure; I know we've met, I forgot your name. Was that your car? Good lord that thing is sexy.

^^^Hmmm hostility much??? lol.

No man of course not. We're all here for our own entertainment. If you ever hung out with me you'd know Im just a ball buster, I really dont mean anything by it.

And Erick walks the walk, is out on the track often so say what you want.

WOW you are retarded. I stopped reading when you said the s14 is a piss slow motor. You have no credibility. Just rent a gun buy one bullet and well you know the rest. Damn you have no idea.

Please, school us, your automotive highness. I beg you, show us the way to automotive greatness.

I do not like how the S2000 handles. Early ones are twitchy and feel like the rear-end was designed by a bunch of retards who just wanted to finger paint on the wall in their own poop. The 2005 revision was better, but still a long way short of what I'd call "decent".

Not to blow my own trumpet here, but I was a motoring journo for a few years and tested all manner of stock and highly modified performance cars and I think the S2000 was best enjoyed as an on-paper statistical experience. 9k, bullshit kW per litre, RWD, two seat, good torsional rigidity, good weight balance... but it just didn't transfer into actual on-road enjoyment.

As a roadster, the MX5 is a much better car. An MX5 with an F20C would just about be Japan's best ever sports car, IMO.

I'd have an S2000 over some piece of shit K24 Silvia. Nissan's 4-cylinder motors are the equivalent of rotting vaginal discharge left behind a BBQ covered in fish heads and old milk.

I think the s2k is a sweet car and would like to eventually have one

no shit over a ka, a "silvia" is with sr20.

and like i said b4 , id much rather take a spec r s15 over a s2k anyday

[Iain]

The SR20 is one step above the KA - it's still a shit motor IMO.

Spec R S15 isn't that much of a hot deal. I've driven plenty of JDM and Aus-market examples (Spec S, Spec R, "Nismo" ones, etc) and they're all pretty same-same and need a shitload of modifying before they get anywhere near interesting (or fast). Best thing going for an S15 is its looks.

so you think the sr is crap? whats your in put on the sr20ve neo?

[Iain]

Better, but still a nugget motor.

My experience with the SR20s I've worked on is that they're out-dated and suffer from Nissan taking shortcuts. The VE would be the engine I'd pick to build into a monster if I did it again (2.2, GT3582, 290+ deg cams, dry sump)

It's frank and ya that was my old s. 550whp on e85 daily driving and loved it to death.

[E-Thirty]

Can't we all just agree that this obviously comes down to preference?

Do the eta!!! hahaha.

2250 is midway, i'd say it puts down about 145lbs of tq, and about 30 hp. :p
