your wrong about porsches being a better drivers car at the limits , & you used them in the same post to claim performance shouldnt cost so much

Read what I wrote! Not what you want to hear! Get real,porsche would eat that and spit it out with a smile. I assure you,one could do a better handling car and more powerfull for less money.
Notice I said "do a better handling car" not porsche!

says you
based on driving both the S2000 & multiple different porsche types - obviously
with a drag tune he could have another 50 hp at the wheels , & still muppets would moan

I f you are paying someone else to do it,it will cost you the earth! If you can do some of it yourself you save money. A porsche will bin it in take off any way and a straight line,they dont go around corners that badly,so I would suggest the porsche would have it.

Now now,dont get shirty. The car needs more grunt chap,the NOS is just not needed.

NOS is never needed
its a short duration gimmick, bothered with simply for the fun factor
if you think the rear engine 911's are as balanced as the S2000 at the grip limit , you simply are living in ignorance

You simply fail to see what is written,never said the porsche would waste it around corners ffs,said it had more power,thus getting to corner in front and staying there as that car simply would not have the grunt to get past,no matter how good it goes around corners. 175kw simply isnt enough.

well on a track the type r would keep up, but not on the straights where the v8 has the grunt.

What track exactly!

Doesnt matter what track,anything with a straight would leave the type Rbehind

1995 honda integra type r = 149kw, 1060kg= 0.089 (power to weight) 2009 holden ss = 270kw, 1785kg= 0.092
so, not much differnce as you can see.

1995 Integra type R torque = ! vs 2009 Holden ss ! Not just about HP & weight, also where the HP is and how quickly you can get to it :-)

Holden SS with 12a Rotary @ 250hp (sorry Holden guys, ;-) vs Holden SS with 350V8 @ 250Hp - which is likely to be quicker !

But back to the original post. engine looks nice (bit too 'shiny for me'), body looks like something off Fast and the Furious, which was probably the intention. If it was a *tastefully* modded standard-ish S2000, it wouldn't be too bad.

fair point, but u dont need as much torque in a honda as you dont have to pull as much weight as an ss
1fordluva,

They may have the same horse power,however it is where they make thier torque in the rev range and the amount of it that counts chaps.

I see a car.like a Salvador Dali art piece it will appeal to some and not so much to others if at all.I see a car.
just to show the handling,and that power is not always an advantage
every v8 falcon or ss should have 450hp standard
