How can the s2000 even compete? Is Honda finished?
It looks so fucking good. Can't wait for some middle age crisis fag to buy one then sell it to me for cheap.
160hp.
+175lbs
Still not a convertible
Still a homo car.

Can you project your sexual insecurity somewhere else, thank you.
>>14763883
fuck this looks so good. cant wait to put a LS in one some day.
>yfw Miatas would be perfect if they had a K-engine
It's sad that the S2000 still looks better.
>>14763899
middle age crisis people already bought the NC
>>14763883
Do they still make the S2000?
>>14763883
sexu desu
>>14764026
Sadly not. It stopped in 2009 if i remember correctly
>>14764334
The Wheeler Dealer guys did a S2000 this season. Sold it back to the guy they bought it from.
>>14764358
They even made him pay more than their advertised price. I didn't know that was even possible
>>14763883
Why are you comparing a brand new car to a car not even in production anymore?
>>14764535
Because they're rivals.
>>14764648
hahhahahahahha
>S2000
>Miata
>Rivals, ever.
Not even in the same ball park.
>>14763883
The s2000 can be modded to put down alot of power.
You change the header on a skyactiv motor and you get engine knock.
>>14764819
Really?
>>14763901
How can you complain about it not being a convertible? That was literally the biggest flaw on older miatas.
>>14763883
>how can the s2k compete?
It doesn't anymore, as it's no longer made?
>>14764936
Yeah the 4-2-1 headers from factory are specially designed to keep the engine from knocking.
With a 14:1 compression ratio the mazda's skyactiv engine is a tuning no go.
You will probably see engine swapped miata's but the days of turbo miatas are gone.
>>14764993
They said the same about toyobaru's high compression.
I am willing to bet though that people will start putting thicker head gaskets on and using low compression pistons at some point in order to turbo.
>>14763883
> s2000
> car that ended production 7 years ago
son were you dropped on your head as a child?
>>14764993
>the days of turbo miatas are gone.
kek
and before you say anything about price, it's priced near the ND club, around $28k
>>14764999
The pistons are specially designed on the skyactiv as well, and the 86 has a 12.5:1 ration. Nowhere close to the 14:1 ratio on the skyactiv.
>>14765010
I meant aftermarket miata's.
>>14765033
The way the pistons are now don't mean shit when people pull them out for lower compression pistons.
>>14765010
Woah, they've announced the pricing of the 124?
E85 could give you enough wiggle room to run low boost and with the correct cam tuning possibly a bit more
>>14765047
So pull out the skyactiv part of the skyactiv, lowering the compression to the point equal to pretty much the compression rate of other engines.
Basicly paying out the ass to make your engine equal to other engines, just so you could boost it.
>>14765010
I'd really like to have one of these, but without a turbocharger. They should have dropped the turbo considering the goal was only 160hp in the first place. Now you'll have to replace or rebuild that turbo every 60,000-75,000 miles.
>>14765093
If it can be done it will be done.
I have friends who are willing to do a shit load of work protecting their subframe and oilpans on a static drop, rather than just do the logical thing and get airbags.
This RF really speaks to me. Hoping this will spark the next golden age of automotive enjoyment.
Mazda does it again. :^)
>>14763883
spending over 30k on a car that is slower than an 86
has less space than an 86
and doesnt even have a fixed roof
This is the ultimate meme car
>>14767435
they're both slow
>>14767454
True, but you can get the 86 for close to 10k less for a new one.
>>14767487
or just get a WRX, my sister wanted an autotragic brz, was like 32k out the door after all fees including our 10% registration fee....
>>14767609
>I've never driven either car but am going to benchrace anyway
>>14763883
I'd love to own a new mx5 one day, but the fact you can't turbo a skyactiv almost puts me off.
>>14763883
dude looks like he hates his fucking job
>>14763883
i want one
h-how much will it cost?
>>14767642
I've driven both, jokes on you. Where do you see the bench racing tho? What does price have anything to do with racing? Anyone with any sence can see the WRX is a better bang for the buck especial with the numbers people make on just a tune and simple bolt ons.
>>14763883
>heavier
>engine less powerful
>probably worse handling too
A 16 year old AP1 is still better than cars like the GT86 or MX5 lmao
>>14767674
>denies being a bench racer
>proceeds to talk about numbers
let me guess, you drive a Genesis coupe
>>14767692
jesus when am I comparing lap times dipshit?
fucking cancer 86 people.
>>14764955
This, Convertibles are for women anyway unless it's an exotic car like a lotus or something.
>>14763901
wanna know a secret? Not a lot of Miata enthusiast give a fuck that the top drops. In fact many prefer if it had a fixed roof. Why are hard tops and Prht so popular?
>>14765033
>stand alone Ecu
>low comp Pistons
>turbo manifold
Problem?
>>14767963
how dare you use a logical solution to a simple problem
how dare you use your fucking brain and not be a retarded pleb normie?
fucking filth get out you don't belong.
Too bad it makes every person above 5'9 feel claustrophobic
>>14763940
>Tfw saving up monies and can't decide if I want to turbo it or swap a K20 in it
>>14768055
>Tfw the moment I posted that I realized I'm going to swap an LS in it eventually so why swap a motor in if it won't be permanent, tarbo will be much easier/cheaper to do
Welp.
