Well to me Honda sucks.. if you're gonna play with valve timing at least do what Nissan does.. advance the timing in the high end for more hp, and retard it in the low end for more torque.. the s2k is completely worthless below 6.5k rpms...
After vtec does kick in.. it screams and flies.. but before i feel like I'm driving a Civic.
MR2 turbo's are easy to mod as well.. bolt on parts do wonders for the MR2.. of course it's because it's turbocharged.. with the s2k you get what you start with.. unless you go to forced induction, and on a Honda, it isn't always the safest route.
The interior of the s2k is very simple too.. my 91-93 mr2's were just as functional.. no traction control either.. seriously??
I miss my 350Z.. Driving down to Florida was a breeze. I took trips to Connecticut, North Carolina, and Florida in that car.. no issue.
The s2000 will be quite the pain in the ass driving back to Ohio in.. especially with a boxer riding shotgun.
