and lastly its a tiny strung out I4, 4 cylinder engines score low on the man scale.

You calling the F20/22c strung out? In comparison to what? Why do you think that? Because it revs high? It's head design outflows & rapes the SR BADLY. Shit's got forged internals that are SAFELY capable of 600hp from the factory when turbo'd... Pick the right small turbo & now the S2k can haz low end torque and still make like a relatively bulletproof 400hp+. If I think about how often I have a passenger in my 240, I might as well get a real 2 seater like an S2000. 240's and Integra get stolen just a often, IMO. At least the S2k is the best of that bunch.

162 ft/lbs of tq @ 6500 rpm

for a daily driver this is no fun, track sure its a great motor. Insert a turbo on a lot of motors and yea it changes the conversation.

Everyone has different lifestyles, if you do not have other humans ride in your vehicle with you nor participate in activities that require to transport animate objects then sure a 2 seater with no trunk space is right up your alley.

Dude, forget the turbo part. Compare the F20/22c to the best flowing SR, the SR20VE. 240hp F20C vs 204hp SR20VE. 162ft/lbs of torque for the F20C vs 152 ft/lbs for the N/A SR. I think it's clear to see that the SR ain't jack shit without a turbo on it. You want more fun from an daily N/A S2000? Pair the F22C with 4.777 final drive ratio.
I'm just getting to the point where I'm wanting less compromise in my sports cars. Screw this 2+2 sports coupe mess. I want a legit 2+0 toy car. Get a 2nd car for ppl hauling.

I dont want either of those motors.

Give me an n/a I6 instead.

less compromise start getting into BMWs, its all RWD and manual transmissions.

do something like a Z3 with a S52 or a S54 E30, then have a factory manual X5 tripping ppl out that your SUV is a stick.

No arguement there. I like BMW a lot. They just seem to have slightly different maintanance expectations to takes a little getting used to for a guy like me who's been JDM only.

Ive had a S13, S14, multiple Hondas, a couple of American cars, and now an E36 and E21.

other than needing torx and hex sockets its been an easy transition for me moving to wrenching on german cars, replacement parts are just as cheap also.
