177kw from a 2L makes them the most powerful non turbo 2L on the market. Apparently s2000's are well balanced and good to drive
my verdict: you will be borrowing mums car alot more often

Ive been looking into catback exhaust, headers, and an intake for the car and they all seam way overpriced especialy for a 4cyl.

Why is this?

Intakes were like $220-400 for a simple intake.

I don't know, but the more expensive the car is, the more expensive are the parts for it. Look at WRX's exhaust systems, some of them are as high as $960.00

Parts for S2000's are expensive, but if you can afford one they assume you can afford parts. A float for the fuel guage in our benz was $1200 :shock: . That again is a case of expensive parts on expensive cars. I put new speakers in my car today hooray!!! Nothing special but i got a good deal, and the all work. The stock ones were down to 4..........

My mom wants a porsche now! :shock: My moms like 50 years old. Last time she got a car... she wouldnt buy the one she wanted cuz she didnt want people to think she was a stuck up rich person. Now she wants a porsche! :roll: If she gets that car shes definitly not going to see it often


I kinda like the S2000 better... especialy for the prize difference
