My friend just sold his 2000 model S2k b/c he wanted to purchase the new 2004 model which he said Honda was putting a new 2.2L engine and dropping the redline to 8K rpm. But he did also say they were rating it still at 240hp but when people were dynoing them the new S2k's were gettting 280 hp at the crank and 235 at the wheels. There were a few other changes like glass window in the back instead of plastic i belive he said since the 2000 model and new color's and interior. he's always on s2ki.com and i'm gonna find out if this is true about the 280hp. How do these handle basically is my question compared to the Type R. On the track does the s2000 dominate? I've heard the S2k is pretty much high end equipment so it doesn't respond to well to modifications such as exhaust.

I'll still stick with the R even though the new Z06's are coming with 500hp stock :?
