The car setup is to be honest spot on , i have AP six pot calipers on the front, federo racing pads all round,hks coilovers ,tein springs ,uprated anti rollbars ect ect ect...
I was at cadwell park a few weeks ago and was lapping in around 107sec.
It will take coppise @120 mph (no bullsxxt) in the dry.People don\'t realise how good these cars can handle when set up properly.

Dunno about that but they make a pretty annoying noise (improved with decent a/market cans) :D

We went to the Ring with about 10x S2000s a year or two back, they rev a long time and sound/feel fast - but ultimately get left a long way behind most FDs...

i was pushing an S2000 round my last track day running 0.4 bar of boost.  he was good round the twisty bits but on the straights he was gutless
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!

I got an \'06 S2000 and in comparison to my RX7 it feels much more planted in the bends. The suspension is not to stiff nor too soft, the damping on the \'06 model is suited perfectly to british B roads. I do agree that it has a lot less torque, you have to rev the nuts of it to go anywhere. However thats part of the fun..... 9K RPM limiter :) If another fast car drops a cog and gets their foot down before you there is no chance of catching it in a straight line. However in the bends on sticky bridgestones it catches back up.

I reckon a turbo / supercharger conversion on a S2000 would be amazing. Although I am not sure of the drive train could take it. I have only done 15,000 miles in mine and already its got drivetrain noises.

I was watching one of the Best Motoring video\'s the other day where they manage to destroy a gearbox (over reved it).  I really quite like the S2K and thought the handling of them was pretty dam good (I was a passanger that day though!)

Yeah I love the BMI\'s just cant get enough!

Think the only reason it went is cause he changed down too quick and it just went pop! (guess he still won as no one parked infront of him! :Giggle )
