what would it take to put the new c6's engine in a solstice? haha.

and the solstice is the standard competition for the miata...so naturally it has to be an I4

That mallet solstice honestly makes me want to sell a kidney in an effort to be able to buy one.

Honda has no place making a RWD roadster untill they can and will put a engine in it with tq.
I'd be devestated if they changed the S2000 from anything other than an amazing handling, light weight, high reving sports roadster... I was planning on buying one in a couple years when I graduate for exactly those reasons.

Oh and as for offering an S2000 with an auto... that totaly ruins the whole pure sports car image of the thing. I would like to see them just jack the 2.2 up even more and maybe change some styling (not too much though, thing is sexxxxxy.) Other than that I think they have it just about nailed. Maybe an adjustable suspension or something and bigger brakes, I dunno I just love the S2000.

That new NSX though... I can not wait for that thing, they really needed to update and up the hp of it.

If they keep the S2000, IMO they need to move it to the NSX's old power slot. Meaning around 300hp and 250+tq and price it as it is now.

240hp and i think the redesigned 2.2 makes 167 torque.

have you ever looked under the hood of an s2000? theres a lot of room under there. im sure they could design a V6 for it.
