    S2000 not a real sports car because its underpowered and it doesnt have a powerband that can be respected??

    120hp/liter - how many other cars you listed, much less, other cars period, can pull that off? Naturally aspirated?

    Find me an S2000 on the race track. It's FR and put in a class that it can't even begin to touch it's competitors plus it's too twitchy on a road course.

    Don't get butt-hurt over the FACT that the S2K is underpowered. Regardless of HP/L numbers, it's still a peaky little motor with no torque. There has never been a honda built from the factory that had adequate power for the chassis. I own one, and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that if it had around 300 whp stock, it would have been an even better car, however it would have required traction control and VSA from the get-go.
    Who knows?
