Mike Hunt returned to village?

So? You have the rev the crap out of it to get it.

For someone who has "a wealth of automotive knowledge" you would know
that 13.8 1/4's are respectable but not fast. Fast begins at 11.99 and
lower.

Quick and nimble not fast. Guess I better get my screwdrivers out
then. The S2000 is a nice car but like the NSX overhyped and over
priced for what it is.

"So?" back at you...the fact remains...

Can you read?

13.8 is fast for any four cylinder. Care to name another stock four cylinder
that can run in the 13s?

Try reading slower next time.

Not for a stock four cylinder.

Its obvious it is *you* that has an apparent lapse in track knowledge.

"Overhyped"? I don't know what your talking about here. Honda doesn't even
have a dedicated commercial for the S.

Hmm...sounds like someone may be jealous to me.

Take care.

Is that why you bought an Accord instead of a Camry? LOL


mike hunt

 

Man, you cannot be this stupid...

There are so many Accords around, because they have superior reliability,
dependability, and are the best value for the superb quality that you get
with any Honda. I bought my Accord, not to stand alone as a sports car, but
rather an every day car and commuter.

It figures that needed to be explained to you.

Now the reason there are so many Mustangs around, is because its a cheap
unrefined V8. This is why young kids choose this car. These cars are
unreliable, and have limited longevity. And when those young kids grow up,
they will look at their sports car needs differently. They will want a
"true" sports car. One that is refined, and of high quality. They will want
a sports car that is virtually track-ready right out of the box. They will
want individuality. They will want attention to detail. They will want true
white-knuckle fun...

They will want cars like S2000s... [huge smile]

Take care Mikey, and good luck in life.

For a smog legal car with a warranty?

Name a few, that have four wheels?

 

You are correct, buyers buy the vehicle that best suits their
needs and budget. In the price range of the Camry, Accord and
Taurus they buy them in that order. Apparently more buyers
choose the Camry because they believe it has superior
reliability, dependability, and the best value for the superb
quality over the Accord or the Ford. The kids buying Mustangs
are buying the 21K V6 coupe, not the GT. The guys with 25/28K
buy the GT coupe/convertible. If they have 33K they buy the 305
HP Mach I or 390 HP Cobra. The Mustang GT must outsell the
S2000 by at least twenty to one. One can therefor only assume
buyers believe the Mustang has superior reliability,
dependability, and the best value for the superb quality over the
S2000. After all that unrefined OHC SMEFI V8 GT will out perform
the S2000 in every aspect and it does so at 3000 RPM's not at
6,000 RPM. If I were spending 33K for a Honda that performed
adequately, I would buy the TL, at least it develops decent
torque without winding it to 7K to get on the curve. In addition
the TL has room to take along a few friends when on wants. Bye
the way, Happy New Year, and I
gotta go.

 

LOL! LOL! LOL!

Apples and oranges, you are comparing a V8 to a 4.

And your wrong as well...the S2000 would tear up ANY mustang thru the
twisties.

Again...apples and oranges.

Only you would try to server your agenda, buy not comparing like
automobiles. And only you are dumb enough to believe you would get away with
it.

Your an idiot.

Two-seat sport cars have two seats for a reason you fool.

Let send the TL and the S2000 down a twisty mountain road...Ill see ya at
the bottom after I've already had a couple drinks.

For good we hope...

i think some ppl find it fun to wind up the engine to hear an F1 like whine.
Some other ppl have the skill to wind it up and keep it in the range round
curvy black ribbon.

So, it's a matter of driving style too. But if laid back is prefered for
everyday driving, torque low down is a good friend, like in the Mustang.

The only people who care about power per liter is you Honda people.
While the Honda engineers should be proud it's just not that great an
achievement.

Can you get it through your honda brainwashed head that 13.8 in any
car is not fast 4 cylinder or not. Comeback and see me when that same
4 cylinder can run 11.99 or better. In the grand scheme of things 13.8
just isn't fast anymore.

Well when I look at the results of NOPI comp 4 I see Integras in the
12's with what I would consider to be stock engines.

Try taking off your Honda Blinders

It can be done.

Umm No not really. Just different opinon than you. Consistent 12:51's
all day every Sunday

They don't need one. All you Hondaites do it for them. I can't count
the number of times I've heard someone say. "I would have beat you if
I had an S2000"

Honda should be commended for building the S2000 it's a nice car but
it's just not that earth moving when comapred to other cars that are
out there. Honda had the perfect opportunity to build a great roadster
but like the NSX they chose the path less travelled and built just
another high reving engine with a price tag to boot.

No jealousy here. Just feel Honda dropped the ball and could have
built a better car.

 

Name it, please.

 

The truth is a stock 2003 S2000 will not do the quarter
in 13.86, as he claims. Besides who quits a race in
1/4 mile in the real world?


mike hunt

 

Even if what you believe to be true was true, you are forgetting
one must first race UP that the mountain before you car race
down. LOL


mike hunt

 

What are you talking about? Its a well used term, and known measurement.

Somebody has to hold the title...and Honda has it. I don't understand your
debating logic...you make little sense.

Well...I'm not brainwashed by Honda, and your straw arguments are resulting
in loss of credibility...on your part.

No thank you.

Yes it is...you are wrong.

LOL! You cant "consider" an engine to be stock. It like being
pregnant...either you are, or you are not.

I don't have any one, thank you.

Another straw comment, that only shows you don't have any real ammo within
this debate.

Nothing about opinions...I stand by my original statement.

What does this have to do with the car being overhyped like you originally
stated!?

Again...you make no sense towards the issue at hand.

Ok then...name the other 4 cylinder autos that you are comparing to?

And what is the more traveled path?

In what way? Please be specific.

And one more question...how old are you?

I don't know who claimed that time, but you are correct. I've seen a time
slip from a stock S2000 @ 13.692

Huh!?

Two tenths close enough, Anonymous Coward?


Still waiting for an example.

 

No kidding.
"It no great achievment, but Honda engineers should be proud."

WTF does that mean...?

 

Figure of speech idiot. It doesn't matter which way, the Mustang would be
eating Honda exhaust fumes.

Ya right, in your dreams. You just haven't yet met up with a
Mustang GT driven by a driver who actually knew you are racing
him. A GT can go around curves, up a windy mountain road, faster
that your S2000 can go down. My neighbor gave up trying to catch
my GT a long time ago. While he was busy 'rowing' the shifter to
get to the torque I was long gone. LOL


mike hunt

 

Sorry idiot...that's a fact.

Now your just being ridiculous.

It is a known fact in the automotive world, the S2000 is one of the best
handling cars on the planet, and will *EASILY* out maneuver the high,
overweight, unbalanced, oversteering Mustang.

So what? What does that mean? I suppose now your going to tell us that your
"neighbor" has an S2000?

Again, your credibility precedes you...you are a known and proven liar here,
and always seem to "have" what ever the issue is at hand.

Two equally qualified drivers in an S2000, and a Mustang GT, will result in
an easy Honda win.

Go back to your village you liar.
