None of you would turn down an F1 engine - but they dont have SQUAT below say 8,000 rpms - remember that they rev to over 18,000 rpms- and have over 800 hp - but they dont have much over IIRC 300 lbft of torque - but you dont hear people whining about those now do you?

The S2000 is made along those lines- to be completly tame unless your really going for it! - sounds good to me.




Well if you had a F1 engine or a nice built hot rod engine, I'd pick the hot rod engine.
Like I said, the s2k is OK, but I don't like having to rev up like crazy to get power. I also don't like an engine that isn't fairly easy to make good for FI. The s2k is ok if you wanna stay stock or just do a few mods (I would just tweak the computer and get nitrous if I owned one). Like I said, there is a reason you don't really see drag or even modified road racing (I'm sure there are a few, but there definitely isn't as many as other cars) s2000s.

Sure, it's a great all motor, high revving, low torque engine,,,, but that's only good if you want that kinda engine.
