Hi there I am interested to buy a Honda S2000 but want to know more local information. What I can get is all oversea resources. Can I know how much this vehicle is selling right now. What is the latest model and the specs like ? TQ

RM160K ++
2.0 dohc VTEC
RWD
9k rpm redline
weedy torque, but 220bhp

get the GT model, hardtop instead of the cloth top

hmm what about the year ? it that year2000 or 2003 ?

You don't need to mention weedy torque.. the moment you say VTEC.. it also means weeedy torque.. ahhahaha..

juz mentioning VTEC not enuf weedy.......must say weedy......

that car sux on low rpm....no power no torque...

it roars after 6k rpm.....

get the 03 gt (im not sure when they stopped production) that has the pitch adjustable steering.

reprhasing - weedy weedy weedy torque LOL LOL LOL

then again, its lighter than your average honda, and with some minor mods, you'll get Newton to add some more meters at the crank

throw in some apples from newton's house, and u'l get a 10kNm torque at 2k rpm. XD

It has good torque. HOWEVER!!!!
It only arrives at over 7000rpm.

i thinks is around 6000rpm...where VTEC kicks in....

I checked, 207Nm at 7500rpm.

I think what Honda is trying to do is, make as much torque and make them last as long as possible at higher rpms. This way, the can make 240hp from 2 litres.

Eventhough Vtec kicks in at 6000rpm, the torque needs dometime to build up. That's what I think.

Is the 2006 model any good? Heard they bump up the displacement to 2.2 litres and lower the famous 9k redline to 8k, but with a higher torque curve.

I thought the pre-2006 models look better... don't see much s2000s around though... rare car.

Funny, they didn't call it a Honda S2200.
The 2.2 one is here? I thought only in USA?

Inline 4-Cylinder Horsepower @ rpm (SAE net) 237 @ 7800 Close-Ratio 6-Speed Manual Transmission

Yeah it was originally introduced in the States. But I read in Wikipedia that Honda decided to make the 2.2 liter model the only S2000 they produce from now on.

Honda Singapore carries the S2000. But all I ever see here are Mazdas, Mitsubishis and Subarus.

Threadstarter can look this one up, Have a better accelaration(in theory) and bwtter mileage since u don't have to rev as much trying to get up to speed.

We were referring to the weeedy torque at 7000RPM. Anything below that is too low to even consider as weedy...

We were actually refering to the weedy max torque.. hahaha.. can you say '3000rpm turbo torque"? hahahah..

That is not what Honda is trying to do.. that is what Honda HAS to do to make power. All NA engines produce power based on how high they can get their RPM to max out. The only reason why Honda can make over 200HP is due to the fact they can keep engine efficiency up at high RPMs without compromising lower RPM with their VTEC system. They have no choice. RPM X Torque = power. Typical example would be F1 and motorcycle engines... the high RPM makes all the power.

Americans take the easy way out.. BIG DISPLACEMENT...

There is no point carrying it in Malaysia. It's just a matter of economics and 'supply and demand'.

If they bring in the S2000, there is no demand for it from people who can afford it. Those people who demand it cannot afford it. So there's no economics here. Hence no S2000.

o...ok.....my misunderstand...

high rpm = fuel monster....

They kinda tricked the engine into making that HP. But a little correction, RPM is a small factor into making HP, it is torque.

I agree with you, "They HAVE to do it" to get 120hp/litre.
