that article just proves the stupidity and incompetence of the people that drive these cars in some mags. 14.1 for the stock car is respectable, though the best of us have hit 13.7-13.8 completely stock.
However, they put an SC on it, adding another 118 hp, and all they can knock off is a measly .3 of a second in the 1/4 mile?? And you guys act like it's the car that sucks. Come on, an extra 118hp and only another .3 second means horrible drivers.
Just an FYI, the guys with the comptech SC'd S2000's are running 12.9-13.1 on their best runs.

Rep Power: 0 the S2000 slowed down in the 0-60 because it's a very lught car. The S/C probably made it much harder to hook up the tires...Also the small 1/4 Difference.. Same deal.. Traction...which is why most weekend warriors with Vipers go to the track with their 11 second car and run 14's..they can't hook up and make a pretty smoke show...

Rep Power: 376 They will stop making S2000's when people stop buying them. Honda put 5 years of R&D into this car. They aren't just going to stop selling it, unless people stop buying them. I think it will be around a few years more.

[hr]I don't know about you guys...but I just absolutely adore the styling of the front headlights on the S2000. Is really unique in comparison to the cars out there on the market. [hr]

Rep Power: 376 Let's see
S2000 vs your BMW convertible
Handling: S2000
Looks: (subjective)
roadcourse: S2000
stopping: S2000
Price: S2000
skidpad: S2000
And unless I'm mistaken, I do believe the S2000 and BMW are tied in the 1/4 mile as well. (both are capable of about 13.6-13.7 at best in stock form)
So it's faster, handles better, stops quicker, and costs less than your BMW convertible.
So other than the fact that someone wants to own a car that says "BMW" on it, please tell me why you'd get that car over the S2000??

Rep Power: 0 what about putting an s2000 against one of the old jaguar v12 convertible models (xk something???)?? they both look good and i think those extra 8 cylinders would lay a smackdown.

Rep Power: 376 Actually, the newest XJR is probably one of the quicker jaguars. (1/4 mile 13.8, about on par with the S2000)
But the V12's you are talking about, like the V12 convertible, and the XJ12 or whatever it was (1994) are 15 second cars.

FYI, a stock Miata will run circles around the S2000. In comparo to straight line speed, well, that's awhole different story.[hr]

S2k= higher skidpad numbers, higher measured cornering speeds, better lateral g movement, etc, etc.

[hr]How can you say that a Honda is better than an M3. Any Honda, including an NSX! I'd take the M3 over any other car in the world. Except for the M5, of course.[hr]

Well if you did hear, Honda is making the S2000 Supercharged. it will have a Vortech SC on it that will make it 358-bhp. now your going to ask how fast is it. Stock they will run a 1/4 in 14.1 with e SC there doing it in, 13.8@105.6mph. Not to bad. But for 7 grand i can build a LS/vtec and put type-r intenearls in it and have it run 13.3@111.4mph. and then put a 100 shot in it and run 12 somthing. So for all that money that isn't all that fast.[hr]

Umm .. why are you comparing a brand new S2000 to a sh-itty $7000 car? Different class buddy, different class.
I can build a 12-sec car with under $5000.. what's your point?? If you can AFFORD an S2000 (which by the way, happens to compete with Z3, Boxster & SLK), then that's what you buy.
You live within your budget. Why do you drive a new Civic? Some people look at you go and say you're an idiot because you could've gotten a much faster used Mustang for less.. but I'm sure you had your own smart & valid reason for buying a new Civic.
Right??
