Will Hondata Not Solve Low End Torque?

[9large]

Firstly its about 180Kg lighter

My dad had an S2000 and used to drive it regularly. I now own a DC2R and am looking to sell and go back to the magical S2K.

The short gearing may contribute as well but its one thing to read about a car and its another to drive....

I found with the S2K that if you're in the right gear (not necessarily VTEC); there is no shortage of torque. you need to know how to drive it.

My bad - I mistakenly had the DC5's specs in mind. Almost 200 kilos and a 4.78:1 FD will make a big difference in responsiveness. Also, just to clarify, I meant to say that magazines over time can propagate generalisations and convince those none-the-wiser - even if the occasionally drive the car.

You are highlighting something important about the S2000 though - it does not reward lazy drivers.
