||Ok, yes you are right, the S2000 is Honda badged with a 6 speed. As a
||side note, according to the EPA figures for that, 28.5 mixed driving
||might be really good. Why is the S2000 rated at only 25mpg highway
||anyway, when the V6 is rated at 30? Same HP, actually the V6 is
||torquier. Maybe because they had to make some compromises because of
||the amount of HP they're getting of it?
Sure. Redline is somewhere around 8500, and it doesn't have much torque, so you
probably have to buzz the motor a bit just to get around town. Which is what
the target custoemr is going to want that car for anyway. It's also probably
geared a little deeper in the rear axle.
