Ugh, I've just never liked Hondas.. Only one I would ever consider is an S2000 and even then I'd prefer a different 2 seater vert.
I have a local kid in town who has a fully built CRX with about $20k total into the car and it still looks ugly. I'm sorry, but damn don't be bragging about beating stock c5's with a CRX. Nobody cares.. at the end of the day you are still driving a POS.
At the end of the day though, to each is their own I guess

Idk about those S2000's, apparently they are turds without turbo or NOS. I may be racing an N/A one sometime soon, i'll let you know how it goes haha

The '00-'03 cars have been as low as 13.7 IIRC, and the '04+ cars have been as low as 13.6 stock... not "turds" persay, but definitely not drag racers.

And don't get me wrong S2000's are alright for what they are but for the price on them new I'd rather have something else. I'm still working on convincing my dad to mod his Solstice GXP more than just the Stage 2 I did to it. It pulls pretty damn good in 3rd gear

ditto, and a car that can run a 13.6 and isn't even meant to go fast in a straight line is awesome. S2k's are some of the best handling cars out there. Don't buy one if all you want to do is go in a straight line.

Could have been like this if it had been built properly. We have a few mid-low 11sec all-motor hondas out here in so-cal, FYI.

I LOVE the *** holes drilled in the bumper. What does that save, like 8-10 ounces
LMAO

The thought is these holes allow air to pass through the bumper easier. Eliminating drag/resistance, etc.
It works, not well - and looks a bit funny.. But some people like it. I personally don't, I'd get some other form of a diffuser.

How do stock s2000's from 00-03 run 13.6? they are rated at 14.2 stock with right about 240hp. 0-60 in like 5.8. Doesn't make sense to me. Is there a difference with IIRC? What is that if there is?
