I would have bought something else, sorry. When I think of two seats, I think of Corvette performance. Biased, yes, but I can't help it. I like my 2 extra seats.

The VTEC cam profile lands at 6,000rpms and just absolutely screams to 9,000 from there.
Surprised no one's posted it yet, but VTEC JUST KICKED IN, YO!

honestly, your turbo tc should of smoked that thing. good luck with your honda!

the s2k sucks on the track though, at watkins glen, they always pull slow track times, because the sweet spot in the RPMS is way too high before it makes any power. My 24 year old porsche 944 slaughters them in the twisties.

Glad you are happy with your new purchase, but the tC was unique... it's not as common as the other imports out there.. I used to be a honda devotee until scion showed me the light of the underdog... I've been through 3 show/drag EG/EKs thus far and I love my tC more than any other car..

good luck with your new venture.. now go get paul to boost your s2k

what year is that, and how tall are you.....i was gonna purchase a s2k....but i found it to be really cramped and uncomfortable for a daily driver, and no i'm not fat, and stand a little over 6 ft......i looked at the new '07....cause from your dash, it doesn't look like the newer ones.....but yeah, the handling on a mountain road with a s2k is very fun...

nice. If I'm not mistaken, you had a turbocharged EBP 7thgen civic before the tC, right? Looks like you're moving up in the car world nicely.

I want an AP1 as well someday, hell, I could be driving one right now if I had made the right choice this time last year.

The motor is in the wrong spot for it to be a true sports car. Every driver knows motors belong over the rear wheels. ;)
