Yeah the Ferraris would kill the S in a straight line but your comparing a $30,000 car to a $250,000 car. That video just showed that the S is a great handling platform. And There's not much you can do to an S to get more power all motor since they're pretty maxed out from factory. I think it just had an exhaust.


And the reason the Ferraris didn't pull as hard is cause the S gasses is early (you can see by him getting out of shape) to compensate for the less power

It's very normal for a Honda to be running around with 200,000+ miles. We have more than a few on this website alone that are BOOSTED with over 200,000 miles.

yes, that is the s2k's advantage, late breaking and early gassin if they made it with the nsx v6 it would be an awesome car. there would be nothing to complain about.

the bottom line is that it doesnt have the balls to hang with very many cars on most tracks.

gt mustangs whoop up on them on any track with a straight or two.

its normal for them to be running, do they run like a champ? no. are they are good as they were at 40k miles. no. are they any kind of performance machine at 200k miles. no

are there all other makes of models of engines running with 200k+. yes. as many as honda? no. 100hp = lasts a while

yah right, just like all the mazda turbo mx6s that blow smoke and make no power, or like the old turbo datsuns that blow smoke and make no power.

what cars are you talking about silvias? skylines? they arent 200k+ cars on the norm.

neons are cheap ass cars, they cost 10k new. people who buy them are poor, they never change the oil, or any other kind of matenience. they run em without water and overheat the ---- out of them and blow headgaskets. the neons are hella cheap and that is why they interior sucks ass, and it has gay wheels and such. for 12k for a 05 you cant ask for that much. btw the same 05 civic that is 12k makes less power and torque than the neon, and has shitty cheap interior.
