What is the actual top speed of our stock S2K? I have had mine to 218 km/h with the top down, with plenty left. I certainly didn't mean to offend any fellow owners when I said the Honda couldn't match the Volvo T5's top speed. I also am not an expert.

As much as I love the S2K, my old VW Corrado VR6 has a special place in my heart, and the Volvo S70 T5 SE and Honda S2K are tied for a distant second!!

I loved my Corrado. You can check it out at members.rogers.com/bash. It's gone to a good home, so I am happy.

why would you want a video of a "fact" (i.e S2000 being able to reach a speed of 180 KPH) that is readily accepted by people....

your ludicrous claim of 280 or something KPH, on the other hand, would need to be substantiated by a video...........

so, when can we expect one?????

[B]Hey Comets,
The Asian Grocery Shopper thang was funny!!
If yours is a "low pressure turbo", it might be a GLT, not a T5, which is the high pressure turbo, 236 hp and 247 lb-ft torque!! My mileage is like yours, 57 km and 4 y.o. in five days.
