they said..

Der Honda S2000 ist ein zweiplätziges Kabriolett mit vorne eingebautem Mittelmotor und Hinterradantrieb. Sein attraktives Outfit wird von Technologien aus dem Rennsport in Szene gesetzt, die den Fahrer mit reinsten Fahrgenüssen beglücken. Für das feurige Temperament des S2000 sorgt ein VTEC-Vierzylinder mit 240 PS (eine Rekordleistung für einen 2-Liter-Saugmotor), dessen Exzellenz grösstenteils der von Honda auf den Rennstrecken der ganzen Welt gesammelten Erfahrungen zuzurechnen ist.

i saw this on autoblog earlier. i would definitely be interested in one, but how much more power do you think they could squeeze out of the f22c?

CR is Club Racer and I will be in line to put my money down on one as soon as they set a release date. I have been waiting for this car for years and the official announcement that it is being released is a very good day for me. It means I will be owning an S2k by next year.

they should make it hard top, convertibles are gay in my opinion

more power, less weight, more rigid chassis and make it roomier so tall people can be comfortable.

Problem is most of my height is in my torso. My eye level is where the top of the windshield is. I have to duck to see anything.

squeezing into a car and being comfortable in one are two different things.

I am about 6' and I fit snugly in there, but I grew up in race cars so if its too tight, it might be just right.

Well from the rumors I have heard it will be a variation of the FRP hard top made by Mugen, bigger brakes, stiffer suspension, upgraded seats and interior, at least 200lbs less (removing the soft top and motor is an easy way to do that as it weighs ~90lbs) ect ect.

I want.

I'm sure they can get a little more out of it. First of all, the current engine increased in displacement, but not hp output a few years back. Second of all, the mad JDM version puts out 10 more hp than ours. I would say reaching 260 hp wouldn't be all that hard.

Horsepower isn't even needed. As long as they just make the power slightly more linear it will be very capable still. As long as they lighten it up, balance the car, stiffen the susp, shore up the brakes, strengthen the drivetrain and chassis the car will be so ******* money. Honda has never been a company that throws power at things. They are far more likely to make all aspects of the package work extremely well together. I believe that they will just refine everything around the engine while doing some very minimalistic revisions to it.

I just hope they keep the shifter the same, I do not know how it could be improved.

i think their engines make more power because the emission laws are more lax.
