Honda S2000

FloMasta24 · **Honda S2000**

I know a lot of you guys aren't into Hondas or anything, I don't have any interest in them really either, but tonight I rode in a S2000 and I loved it. Those cars are nice. What do you guys think of them?

I think its somewhere around 9000 Rpms. The only place where it has any. Silly Rice. Have fun reving the piss out of it.

I think it's time you got out of the forum, hahaha, j/k... but seriously, ew. The word "honda" should've been your tip off

Since we're on imports in this thread, my cousin just bought a brand new Mazda RX-8. it's beautiful, the color is awesome. Winning Blue he said.

It's decently quick. Faster than mine, but that doesn't mean anything.

i hate the RX-8's they really FUBARed the RX series up.

I have to give props to Honda...most hp per liter of any production vehicle period..pretty stoud stats right there.. I still wouldn't have one though lol

always reminds me of that SRT-4 vid someone made when a S2000 owner made a vid of how fast his car could get to 60 (he says 70, but the asshat only goes to 60, the needle doesn't lie) and a member of the SRT-4 group shows how fast they could go and it kicks it's ass pretty much. Remember anyone? VTECH!

they are great cars and to be able to get 240bhp out of a 2.0L N/A is amazing. The only problem with them is that they have a really high compression ratio and breathe really well. Therefore slapping on an intake and full catback exhaust nets you about 5whp combined. Not to mention the weight. Seeing as they are rwd cars, if you in the powerband and take a corner, hopefully no one is in any of the lanes next to you. you WILL fishtail and possibly even spin if you are in vtec. Once you learn how to handle the car, it does handle like a large go-kart, but it can still get out of control easily.

That being said, the sound of 9k rpms is amazing. The push-button ignition, the digital tach and speedo is nice, as well as the 6spd gearbox.

bottom line, like Zim said, w/o vtec, it has no tq. it has virtually no hp either. For a daily driver, it is not your best choice as you have very little hp until 5500rpms.

umm no not the s2k. most HP per Liter award goes to the rx7 rotary. 1.3 litres putting out 200hp or so(i forget the stock output).

and s2k's are weak. i remember when my freind and i test drove one he thought it was the fastest thing in the world. i was like "umm dude, my eclipse is faster than that and doesnt cost 30 grand" which was later proven when i raced a red one and won by a car. the only good thing is RWD but you have to have it at higher rpm's to get the tires loose. with a high compression, most guys around here who have them dont know what to do with them, you cant turbo a car with 12:1 cr, so most of them are stock with bolt ons. they are nice cars though, but for 30 grand id rather get soemthing else like a RSX-S or a new GT.

I can't live without torque.. even if the car is slow, it's gotta at least have some torque behind it.. 'else I won't enjoy it

I tried sitting in an S2000 though.. hah.. that went well

I was beginning to think they'd need the jaws of life to get me out

My best friends dad has one, and I have rode in it many times and really enjoy it, For a daily driver with a little go its a nice car and is very comfortable and I think worth the 30k if you buy it for what it is, a comfortable, quick rear wheel drive 2 seater vert that looks nice and has decent gas milage for a daily driver.

redrum · 09-21-2004, 09:12 AM

s2000's are slow. period. a turbo'd s2000 came out to one of our mustang meets and i wanna say he said he ran low 14's. im sorry, but if im running a turbo, i better be in the 12's! s2000's just dont respond to mods.

no, it is the most powerful N/A mass production engine. 2.0L with 250bhp when it first came out. I don't think the rx7 was a 1.3L

isnt the new one a 2.2 liter and isnt that the one with the 240hp?
