Default News about the new s2k!

Finally, Honda's Chief Engineer, Sakuji Arai (the man who built the B16B,B18C5 and F20C decided to build a 2,198cc engine for the new S2k (we knew that), but the horsepower goes up to 253hp! The engine is better in low revs and in redline the same. The new cylinder head is exactly the same that the honda Formula 3 uses and the transmission will be the same with the 2003 S2k. (official info from EVO magazine july 2003)

from what I've read in the past, the redline will be lower in this engine. however, the low and mid range engine response will be better.

Of course the info is for the 2004 model. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by owen_the_soyboy &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">finally SOMETHING to make used S2000's lower in price for ME </TD></TR></TABLE>
$33000?? I didn't knew that the S2000 in USA is so cheap! Here, a new one is about 46000$. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THE 2004 MODEL WILL COST $50000 IN EUROPE. I don't know how many in the US.
