i've got to say i'd expect a lot more then 20bhp with an extra 500cc. what's the torque difference?

Ive got to say you cant read a graph

Blue is before red is after.

Thats at the wheels though. Prob about 290-300 at the flywheel.

Ignore peak numbers though, the torque increase is massive

oooohhhhhhhh. ok makes sense now

Parkers has the model history - they get slightly softer as the years go on.

You still need to be paying attention though even in an 06.

lively is the word of choice,lol.
ain't driven one to be honest.

Think I managed to upset the S2000 forums by making a comment about I think my Rover would be quicker around a track. All I got was crap about all Rovers being poo, why are they bust then, blah blah. OH and of course '280hp in a rover, that much understeer' 'how on earth can that be drivable' etc

Most of them seem like a right bunch of stuck up fogies. Quite obvious half of them are hardly car enthuaists either too.

Tempted to go to their track day at Donington and annoy them

Put a towbar on the S2k and trailer the Rover to the track day, that'll annoy them

Nice choice fella. I do like these cars despite lack of turbo if only because it's RWD!

I think your right, they dont seem to respect a car that is fast because it's not some recognised sportscar. I also started making joking posts about roof down messing my hair up etc and they start calling me silly for buying a convertible lol.

They talk about S2000s as if they are some kind of supercar.

^ Yup. And funnily enough I spotted two usernames that match with scoobynet users too.

Retards.

Just use the US forum instead.

Good Lord.....I really need to invent a device that allows me to trace peoples' positions to the nearest millimetre via their 'net connection, then call in an airstrike on that position. And given the choice, I'd be in the lead plane with my hand on the bomb release......

ahhh, automotive snobbery.

What a bunch of complete smacktards, seriously, some of those posts are hilarious. I especially love using a photo of a £250, faded old 214 to show yours as being worthless.

As for the 17 year old with the S2000...
