i was replying to svt kris' statement about hondas and their power levels. i agreed that honda engines are very powerful for their size, especially the 2.0 found in the S2000. not to you.
dont bring up price in this deal: were talking about factory fast from the showroom. a 170 hp zetec is perky, but in a full weight focus it isnt a barnstorming dragster or a highway demon. drop that zetec into a car with a curb weight similar to a S2000 and it
still wouldnt reel one of those in.
the S2000 wasnt made for torque. its a topend racer. ever driven one???
i know people with 1999+ mustang GTs that have been taken down on the highway by S2000s. theyre a ball to play with after about 5000 rpms. and trust me, if youre running it the tach doesnt go below 5000 rpms!
youre trying to compare apples to oranges by stating a price difference. if you wanted to do that i would say that so far, including buying he car the 2nd engine, my SVO has cost me less than $4,000. wanna race?
but then, that wouldnt be fair matchup because im turboed right?
ugh, yeah its not too powerful. i wish i could do some mods...
its a fine car, it handles well, i really dont expect to racing in it though anyways...heh, unless i see a minivan.
