Honda S2000

[SvtCobra581]

So i want to get your guys opinion on the Honda S2000. From what i here their pretty nice cars, and just saw that they were one of the most reliable. The one im looking at is a 01 with a supercharger with around 280rwhp. Im not looking for a track car or anything, just something with a little bit of power that i can have fun with, and still drive everyday.

The only thing i dont like about them is no rear seats:cuss: . Its not like i ever use the rear seats but i enjoy throwing my junk in the back

Yes they are reliable cars but I'm sure just as with everyother car, the more power you make the more the scale starts tipping the other way.

The F20C has a very high CR (11.5:1) Not the best thing for FI IMO.

They are cute. Honda miata pretty much. Fun for what they are.

What's the name of the Saturn Car? the two seater? you should wait for the redline version from Saturn.

There ok, but for a new one, the price is way too high, plus unless your 5-9 below, probably uncomfortable. Other then that, 9000 rpm is sweet, and its looks pretty decent, although looks 10 times better as a hatchback.

im afriad you wont find much love for the s2000's on this board. good luck with your decision

 

[logan_yomtov]

they have forged internals. You can get a thicker 3mm head gasket to lower the compression for FI.
There are a few around making 500+ rwhp on the stock long block. plenty making over 400rwhp. Not bad for a 2700lb roadster.

Not much torque, but they look fun as hell to wind up. I've never driven one though.

They're fun as hell but if you're 6' or taller I wouldn't get one...the right springs and some other goodies will make it feel like a go kart tho :rockon:

260HP/260TQ

A boost controller should take care of that ^ easy.

I bought an 02 S2000 brand new(watched it roll off the delivery truck) traded it in on an 03 Cobra when it had 36,300 miles and the main computer went out on it.

very fun car to drive, and unless the secretary drives like Mario Andretti, it's NOT a secretary's car.. handling on it is better than a C5 Vette or any Mustang (maybe the 00 Cobra R has as good of handling) and it's acceleration is decent, about what a 96-98 Cobra will do and a tick slower than a 99 or 01 Cobra..

top speed with the top up is a little over 150, and the top down is about 140

I'm 5'11, 200 lbs and fit perfect into it..

better than a stang in handling....absolutely but a C5 vette??? i don't know about that.

a tick slower than a 99/01 Cobra? what do S2000s normally run bottom 14s??

thanks, i guess it would fit me perfectly then because i am 5'11 200 lbs

I prefer the torque of a V8 to a little stressed four that you have to get into high revs for the fun to start. I would put a supercharger on it and lower the compression. But why not just get a used Corvette?

No tq at all. Fun for a summer weekend cruiser, but that's it

 

[TurdFerguson]

nice cars. i'd take one in a heartbeat. nice interior if i remember correctly.

 

[deannyc]

sweet car. If done up right they are beastly sexy looking, and can be faster than a bat outta hell. Seen a few s2000s in the 12s over the summer.

 

[129saleen]

I had one for 3 weeks till it ran off the road in the rain going below the speed limit around a turn...
I guess it lost traction cause it was so light :shrug:

Other than that it was a great car. Fun to drive, great MPG and they resale pretty high....
