Honda need more horses
Honda are going to have to up the stakes a bit. just outdragged a s2000 from lights. I levelled off at 65 but he just had to come screaming past vtecing his little heart out. I nearly hit the kurb laughing. Anyone want to own up to NB blue 02 on A38 this morning?
Seriously though I only eased off at 65 coz i knew hed probably catch me and I know how hard it is to launch the S so i saw my window and took it. Still good fun though. Happy Boxster bashing guys

The price of progress - the market has moved in the five years since the S2000 hit the market. It doesn't make me regret my own purchase though.
That said, I do agree that Honda needs to raise its game if it's going to compete against the newer 200 to 250 bhp hot hatches, and keep pace with the increased power of the new SLK and Boxster.

Seems to be more a point of better traction off the line rather than horses. Besides horses isn't the be all and end all. I've only got 190 but could whip most porkers, r32s and most other cars you care to mention. However this isn't the point of a) my car and b) the S2000 either.

Am I right in thinking an R32 has a 3.2 litre engine, so for an extra 1200 cc you get and extra couple of bhp?
