^ It's just because ours came from the factory after extensive R&D and therefore was already nearly the best it could be!

Thats a ricer saying haha. If my car had NOS and a turbo you would have been killed. The fact is the S2000 stock doesn't have a turbo.

I was driving out to carlisle last spring and a stock soltice with a plate that read 2FAST4U was driving in the slow lane. I read his plate and was instantly bothered so i poped 3rd gear vtec by him. slowed down to let him catch up than destroyed him. Change your license plate or get something faster you homo

true, but from a roll, i'd bet turbo lag does it in unless the sky brake boosts.
i didnt buy one largely because of the turbo lag. the NA s2000 takes off right away, but the turbo sky has to wait for the power to spool up.

I wish. this car doesnt really move till VTEC. I drove my friends 350Z and the thats the take off right away feel cuz of the torque difference that the s2k seems to b missing

also... keep in mind that his friend's car is auto
I really just hate waiting for boost. It really ruined the fun of the test drive for me when I took a Sly Redline out. One of the first things I did was get on the freeway in top gear and step on it. It went like a Miata while the boost built and then suddenly it pressed me back into my seat and took off. I hate the wait.
On the torqueless S2000 you have to shift to get it, but the power is there as soon as you can put it in gear. I feel powerless waiting for boost, but I feel like I'm the problem when I don't shift fast enough.
