Wow, the S2000, the torqueless wonder. What does it have, 240hp and 156flbs or torque?? Big deal. You have to kill the car to get anything out of it. And not all V8s are 5 liter engines. There's many more configurations than the 5 liter out there.

e.g. the 4.5 Infinity Rocketship
If you are going to compare something to civics, dont make is J-Body cars.
They are as un-reliable as they come. Make it a fair fight.

And plus...how long do cavies and sunfires last? its like their computers are programmed to self destruct at 200,00km!!! My buddy has a 92 civic with almost 600,000 original kms on it, and it still squacks 2nd second gear!!! wooooh!!

Why dont you compare that fairly new s2000 to somthing a little newer.
How about an 03 cobra.

2003 Cobra has 390hp with 390torque runs a 12.9
2001 Acura Nsx has 290 hp with 224torque runs a 12.9.(13.0)
2001 S2000 has 240hp with 153torque runs a 14.1
nissan 350z has 287hp with 274torque runs a 14.3
I'm not saying torque is not important because it is, especially in heavy cars and even luxury cars to provide that steady smooth acceleration. I just think alot of people big it up a bit too much sometimes.
I would take 200hp and 150tq over 150hp and 200tq anyday.

you were comparing a late model higher end sports car to an almost 20 year old 2+2 coupe
I just thought you should be comparing it to somthing a bit newer.

Oh and turbos were invented to make engines more efficient. Whatever you can do to your mighty 4banger, if you do to a big v8 ull obviously get way better results.

Even my 3.8L V6 has a bit of pull when I stuff 26 psi in it...
