noooooooooo viper noooooooooooooo
I grew up hating that american car came so close to my all time favs
H3, PT Cruiser, and the SC GOOD FUCKING BUY
you mean bye right?Originally Posted by redGT
you mean bye right?
i agree w/ 2/3rds of your post...dueces to the h3, pt cruiser and viper
this is IA fool, you have to guess what the poster meant.
I used to sell SC's I'm sorry they are pointless cars. If your going to make a convertible with a back seat, it should be useable by more than groceries and midgets. And if your going to put a V8 in it it better have more than 300hp.
well i like the SC's myself
but most of who i see, locally, driving these are chicks
damn,that sucks about the sky.
Why the S2k?
What are they going to have now?
ITR son
They ain't making new ones of those.
12k redline hitting vtec 3times in the duration..hitting at 2.5k, 5k and 9k
qft lolthis is IA fool, you have to guess what the poster meant.
you mean CTR, right?

Oh, so you're just stupid?

^^lol
but i for one am sad to see the s2k go but i guess all good thing must come to an end.
but the viper was never really worth/affordable by the middle class lol.
civic mugen rr?
While you're joking, that car actually out performed the s2k by a long shot. So I could see it as a replacementcivic mugen rr?(too bad the US is so damn strict on cars)

in california, its ILLEGAL to have a SR20DET, but the SR20DE is ok...
You act like there is no difference between the two that warrants that.
Honda will NEVER have a Full line or cars.
The should've called it the s2000 limited, one generation with a slight restyle.
Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?
Probably see a new replacement in a few years once the economy comes back around.
I'm sad to see the Viper go not because of some misguided loyalty to American cars or because I really like it, but because it is an unapologetic sports car. It isn't civil, and if you couldn't handle that, then Dodge didn't want you to buy it. Reminds me of an old ad out of BMW's Motorsports division; they said that if you don't like something about the behavior of the M3, then they don't want you to have one.
seemed to me though, like all mopar late vehicles, they look outdated so quick. the corvette didnt have that affect, to me at least, even old, it still looked brand new car, if u feel where i'm trying to come from
Maybe it wasn't the execution that I liked, but the intentions behind it. I remember that for a while Chrysler had good engineering, but bad applications of their ideas.
yea, true, which is why i never really like mopar like that..viper i loved when i was growing up, cuz i only heard of the large engine..but getting older, u learn that its not all about the engine size..its a compilation of best bang for your buck. and i'm a kind of person that likes a car to be like wine, get better w/ age, not age and look used before its time to be crushed, na meen. seems like the viper was over rated to an extent..now three dodges i wouldnt mind owning is the viper srt-10, srt-8 and the new challenger (preferably the one that was posted on here a wk ago
Very valid point. I remember being younger and judging a car only by the number of cylinders. And as the person who posted that link to the ten could that's could have been awesome list (or whatever it was) proved, it takes more than brute force to create an excellent, well rounded car.
pt cruiser and h3 i could care less about.
both suck either way.
s2k, should be kept. viper....eh, i'm nuetral on it. sc...not to crazy about.
i never been a fan of the SRT-10 vipers,i mean thier faster......but i love the GTS style
it sucks that the skys have to gothey were pretty sexy even though i don't admit it to sky owners.

the viper is old news its been in the works for years now with a deadline anonced for a couple years.
Val for President
lol s2k bahhhh ... i wonder what the next civic will be?
It's a shame that Chrysler is doing away with the Viper.
damn man the s2k is really gone in 2009 =[... I was hoping we might be getting the new styling as seen in the TAS.
oh well they say the s3k is coming soon..
yea i was thinking the same about the s3k. like s2k is dying FOR the s3k.
kinda like rsx died for 09 civic. cept a little different i guess
This is almost a month old now. Get real Honda people.yea i was thinking the same about the s3k. like s2k is dying FOR the s3k.

Honda reportedly kills S2000 replacement, V8 program, RWD Acuras
Autoblog.
Honda's attempt to right-size its development schedule and cope with the economic downturn apparently extends beyond the cancellation of the next NSX. According to Autocar, HoMoCo is right-sizing its plans for the next two years, and that includes rethinking the development of a range of rear-wheel-drive Acuras, a new V8, a convertible based on the CR-Z and the S2000's successor.
Acura seems to be carrying the weight of the bad news, with its RWD 7-series rival, originally due out in 2015, cancelled indefinitely, along with development of a V8 engine that would allow the brand to compete with the best and brightest from Germany. The Euro-market Legend could also be on the block and there's a chance that Honda will stop developing two separate Accord models for sale in the U.S. and abroad, instead opting for one mid-size sedan to be sold worldwide.
Unfortunately, the development cease-fire also extends to Honda's smaller offerings. Honda planned to release a drop-top version of its CR-Z after the hybrid goes on sale next year, but that model has been nixed. Even more disturbingly, 2009 will be the last year of production for the S2000, with no heir apparent waiting in the wings.
We're hoping to get more details on the cut-backs as the week progresses, but needless to say, there's more than enough disappointment to go around.
