TSB67 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 This got the wheels turning in my head for a bit, did some Googling, but in the end I have to agree with this guy:Let me start with this: the S2000 is neither inexpensive nor is it a light car. They are over 2800 pounds with the factory four cylinder, which seems good compared to say a sports GT like the Supra (3200-3300 pounds) but bad when compared to cars "its same size" like the Miata (2200-2400 pounds). The 240 hp of the S2000 is in the middle of a Miata than a Supra, though. Spoiler: The C5 Z06 is 3050 pounds, had 400 hp, and is selling in the $21-28K range used. Take that to a road course and you're automatically faster than 99% of the cars there... and in the right hands they can and do run 11.9@119 quarter mile times (done that). Those cars are freaky fast, bone stock.Regardless, the LS1 will indeed be heavier than the 2-2.2L Honda mill, so you're looking at a final 3000+ pound 2 seat convertible LS1 street car with an S2000 swap. That's called a "Corvette Convertible" and you can find them pre-built in large numbers.Quote from http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12548115&postcount=17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habi Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Gotta go with the 2jz in the s2000 if your gonna swap. Not that the LS1 isn't a nice motor but the 2jz is just sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
