The market is BEGGING....

And its still a FWD honda. They got rid of their only two good cars, the s2000 and the nsx. ............(waits for the hate)

the S2k should have come with the legit K24. The F series motor couldnt produce any TQ

K24 would have been a terrible engine for the S2000. Too undersquare to get revs out of it in a factory application. You might've gotten a bit more torque but not much more power. Had they made a more square K24 or even a K22 that would've worked well.

I would beg to differ on the topic in bold. The K24 is still in acceptable R:S overall. The F motors got special attention. If you compare crank machining "finish", rod design, and the fact F series valvetrain just drops right in... If they applied the technology of the F series to the K24 (or various hybrid that have been created... the K20 with a F22 crank!) the S2k would have taken a step forward. As is, you average joes bolting all honda stock parts together to get 250whp and 220ftlbs... reving to 8.5-9k... add some legit egineers to that and it might last as long as honda expects

Rex told me yesterday... companies arent trickling down enough technology... after thinking about it, he's right. In one way or another all the companies are pulling punches and making major compromises... or just not seeking to push the market.

I blame the "global economy." Look at the bike industry... they are pushing technology to the bikes, but the gap between the street bike and the race bike is growing. I think its the same way with cars... but in a more compounded level. at least bike companies know why people are buying the bikes. car companies assume we just drive them to work and to pick up tommy and suzie from soccer practice.
