yeah i know what u mean,but its kinda a trademark for the S2000 isnt it,i mean,it would look a little weird with regular dials,dont u think?

sorry i forgot it will be called "S2200" as far as i know. I dont think there is a major power increase, however, there will be alot more torque because of the bigger engine and lower red line.

My father drives and S2000 and i do a little bit of driving in it. I think it is a real drivers car, and in the begining was not built to compare against any other car, but to compare against it selft. It is great fun, and i think the new model will make it a little easyier to manage.

the torque has been increased to 167 ft/lb,thats what i read

Nice, but why are they dropping the S2000 Named, I like it it just rolls of the tongue, not S2200.

i know it sounds shocking. As for the digital dash, well i think people have come to see it as a trade mark of the S2000. I also heaerd it will have softer susspention, which is really bad because they are turning the race car into a hairdressers car.

that is a true shame. i hope they adjust the gear ratio to make the car seem (tourquie?). which brings up a question i cant tell if its a 5 for six speed from the pics. tho i have a friend with a celica and its a 6 speed and he hardly ever gets the chance to use 6th gear. but its nice to have!

SilviaS15Cwest · 09-13-2003, 10:50 PM

It has a 6 speed. I like the look of it. But only +14 tq???? I hope that it is an increase over the whole RPM range or something. And im pissed that they made the suspension softer. What the hell? This car is a drivers car. It shouldnt be marketed at 55 year olds because they are going through some fucking mid life crisis or something. Hopefully it is still as good at handling or better because of the tires/wheels.

Silvia its a honda it will have great handleing. Im guessing they arent making the suspension has soft as some of us think. Maybe just a little tune down.

hrm it looks kinda feminine, but I like the interior and the rims.
S2200 is a horrible name, its quite a mouthful comepared to S2000.

Its a Feminine Looking car that will smoke manly cars.

i dont like the front of the new one as much as i dont like the name. How fast do you think the new one will be 0-100.
The old one had lots of mixed stats, although if you used the right driving techniques and are able to get the revs up there it can be done in 5.5seconds. The bigger engine will give it more torque so it will be easyer to do and will have more low down power.

0-100 in 5.5 are you sure???

cho_888 · 09-14-2003, 03:33 AM

yeah as long as you rev it to about 6-7thousand then drop the clutch

f0racer · 09-14-2003, 05:53 PM

Not a big change, subtle “face lift”, but still an attractive car. There were rumors that Honda was going to build a coupe version of the S2000, but still nothing has been confirmed yet (maybe next time when Honda do another face lift). We need the Type-V version here in the U.S.

You talking KM/h or MPH?
