Maybe the car has an F20a from an Accord? Not to be confused with the F20c, seller might be confused.

Yea I kinda doubt its an '06 s2000 motor. If so it would be a F22 and wouldn't have the 9000 rpm redline that he advertised. Unless he just made a crap ton of typos

He also claimed it had 24 valves, so the odds are he's just talking out of his ass.

That's what I was thinking. Still doesn't explain the 300hp part though...

Sounds like he's just running his man-pleaser to try and get some sucker to buy the car.

otus 7 - Superformance S1 Not a kit car. Factory Built in S. Africa. Car # 37 of only 56 ever built, only 35 in the entire US. Upon verification that you own the car, you will have access to the very exclusive Owner's Website and forum - a great bunch of guys. The only car with a 9,000 rpm, 300 hp, 24 valve 4cyl engine & 6 speed gearbox. (Standard is 180 hp Ford engine) In very good condition, needs nothing. Never been outside during the rain, always garage kept. I am the original owner and have a clear title. There is a story behind the car. If you're interested, call me and I'll entertain you with it. Weight is only 1,450 lbs so HP/Weight ratio provides stunning performance. Engine/Transmission & ECM is stock Honda F20C from 96 Honda S2000 which was completely rebuilt prior to installation, so this engine can be serviced by any Honda dealer. And yes those are actual miles. Has one of only two custom factory covers ever made for the car. New in box Quaife rear end included in sale (a $2000 value) Doors are easily removeable for open touring. Top stores in boot and can be used as a full top or a T-Top via zippered panels. Willwood brakes all around, adjustable for front/rear bias and has Willwood emergency brake (2 extra calipers on rear) Fantastic suspension. Billstein Coil-overs with all the suspension adjustments you would find on an Indy race car. Leather interior is the same company that supplies Mercedes. Seats are fixed, the entire pedal set moves forward/backward by turning an aluminum knob under the drivers dash. Pedal set-up is perfect for heel/toe driving. Built into dash Whistler stealth radar dectector with front and rear looking sensors. Front sensor hidden in grill, rear sensor looks like the tag light. All new matched guages with 10,000 rpm tach (stock is 7,000 rpm guage so all were changed out to match). Car is one of a kind and you'll never get a better deal. Economy forces sale[QUOTE]

It's entirely possible he's not a "car guy" and merely bought the hot new thing and has grown tired of it. Now, convinced he has "car guy cred" he tries to sell it based on what he remembers being told, and all hell breaks loose
