OK, I'm going to spell this out step by step for the denser contributors to this thread:

Thread title: FIA Confirms S2000 Spec-Based Future For WRC

OP's post: I was so excited to see that only to be disappointed (implied that the disappointment was upon his discovery that it's not the HONDA S2000)

My response: The (Honda) S2000 would make a horrible rally car!

Next comes the chorus of ignorance....
Chris, it's getting mighty THICK on this forum these days.

OK ****ers, let's see someone rally their S2000 successfully and prove me wrong. Until then, you're in denial.
its not an "s2000" they are talking about the S-2000 in rally is related to the "super 2000" platform of 2 liter based cars in the series. not a Honda S-2000 convertable off road car....

I know you know, just clearing it for others The disappointment is that wrc is becoming "nascarified"

Call it what you want, but the truth is the WRC is broken and needs a reset. Moving back to more production based cars will restore the competition which has been totally missing for years.

Only once they start racing on ovals instead of rally stages will become like Nascar.

This pic just replaced my "S2000 doing a massive wheelie in a drag race launch against a ford mustang" wallpaper. Imagine me surprised...Didn't think there was something out there that would top the s2000 wheelie pic/video...'till now.

This is probably the only alternative WRC have. I would love to go back to the good old days when Toyota, Subaru, Mitsubishi, and all the European Manufacturers were competing. The FiA really dropped the ball over the years only focusing on F1. Hopefully the Super 2000 spec will attract the manufacturers back with the cost saving. Toyota is out of F1 so they may comeback with a factory team. I'm sick and tired or watching Sebastian Loeb and Citroen winning every year.
