i must say that the car does look better than the previous one, although the old one was nice to.
i thought this new 2.2 engine was going to put out more than 250hp?? i do not remember where i read this but hopefully it does.

I like the looks of the new car more than the current one. But I hate that they've lowered the redline and that nothing's been done on power... IMO the sreaming engine is among the primary fun factors of the S2K. And softer suspension :roll: that's not a SL Merc for God's sake.

Cool. Is it really a 2.2 litre? What the old S2K need was torque. Nice rims. Is this for real though?

why do these stupids put dual exaust on a 4 banger? the added wieght and back pressure can only hurt proformace.

Glad they boosted the displacement. I wonder, does that help the torque that the car has been complainted of missing? Anyway the rear taillights have nice, small change for 04' and the rims are suitable.
