comparing to an S2000 the maita isn't too sportive I think.

was driving both. yes, you might say I can't compare because of the power deficit but even cornering/handling is a big difference.

I'd say so. I don't hate ALL Hondas, just ricers. The Civic is a decent economy/compact car, the Accord is a nice family car, and the Prelude was a nice sport compact. NONE of them are true sports cars, and hence, should not be treated as such. That is not to say that the cars are not well engineered, because they are VERY well engineered. They just don't make a nice sports car for the everyday guy. The NSX is not affordable, and the S2000 is alright, but its also costly and is driven primarily by would-be Corvette drivers that didn't have the green to lay down for a 'Vette.

you have to rev the **** out of an S2000 to make its hp..

Which is why so many people are seeing them running anywhere from low 15's all the way into the high 13's....



Give me a Supercharged miata anyday over that thing...

and the cool 10-15k in my pocket! lol

we have in whole germany 160 FDs so we have to look for some other ally.

I'm happy if there are some Hondas, Toyotas or Nissans in the crowd of my worst enemies which are M3s, Carreras and highly blown Audis

not a lot of C5s or vipers here!

Hell, you could get a brand new Miata and a full Flyin' Miata FMII turbo kit, and STILL be up on cash compared to an S2000. I think those turn out about 240 RWHP, and a much more usable power curve as compared to the S2000.

I like the look of the white rims. He should get boost running as soon as possible. I have had boost running in mine for about 7 months would never return to N/A again.
