Yeah but I still think the S2000 would be better with a beefed-up K20Z.

it's funny that you say that bc that is just what the guy i ran into earlier was doing. i got stuck behind him at a light & he had no one in front of him.it was white & the license plate said "DON S2K". when the light turned green he punched it and tried to burn away from me and i was on his *** immediately. pretty funny actually

Default in arkansas.

see here in arkansas we classify import drivers in two ways. ricer and tuner. rice is intake and fart can thinking you go fast. a tuner is someone who knows there car is not the **** likes to race for fun but actually works on the car without stickering it out. i dont have a problem with tuners but i hate ricers.

I used to actually be in the import scene for a while, I had a BPU RX-7 with about 400 flywheel hp. It was a pretty fun car, and all tricked out. So for me I can usually tell when someone is a tuner vs a ricer pretty quick. I know what to look for to see if a car is faster than it should be.

i havent been on anything but a litre-bike in a long time, but the new R6 is spinning to something upwards of 17,000, which is badass!
