All I ever hear about is that the car handles like its on rail's ETC. Well its all true.. I put that little 4 cylinder through the beating if its life time.. Straight line its not to bad for 240Hp lugging around 2700#s, and 9,000 RPM ( <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> ) powershifts are something else.. LOL LOL <br />All in all very neutral handling. no understeer and unless you did something very foolish no over steer as well..50/50 weight balance helps a lot too..I did get it to oversteer 1 time and it felt funny in a IRS car .. nothing like the feeling of a stick axle car..kinda squatted before it moved over a bit.. Not bad, IM just not use to a car doing it that way..Fun ride but grossly overpriced from Honda..Something like $32k new... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Clark</b> <br /><small>Member # 1076</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,6,2,22,21,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> So, are you gonna buy one? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>youl luz</b> <br /><small>Member # 53</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,6,2,22,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Clark:<br /><strong>So, are you gonna buy one? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">sure, can you find me one for $12k..

I could understand your frustration and disappointment. The first brand new car I had an Eagle Talon was pure junk.I drove my neighbor's a few months ago. Its a nice car only when its wound out to high rpm's. Supposedly in 2003 I heard rumors that they might be going with a five or six cylinder engine to replace the current motor. That really sucks about the situation you had with the 03 Cobra you ordered. The S2000 could definitely could use more torque especially since the car costs 32K! I would recommend trying out the current M Roadster to get a feel for a different type of roadster. It has a slightly detuned version of the current M3 motor it puts out 315 hp. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
