I'm trading my 86 in for one!

midnightfrolic · 06-05-2013, 11:55 PM

What's sad is that it can beat the FRS in the 1/4 mile and 0-60 time. LOLz

I will most likely trade mine in for a fire engine red one for shizzle!

"And when I say ‘nicely’, what I actually mean is ‘blood-curdling scary’. The mower has taken on a whole new personality – and it’s anything but pleasant. It was terrifying enough knowing that it should do 130mph and sprint from 0-60mph in about 4.0 seconds, but now we’ve seen it run….. Eternity in the Jeremy Kyle audience doesn’t scare me as much as this thing."

Not to thread jack, but I have seen this thing in action at some local SCCA stuff. Honda Manufacturing of AL is like 45 minutes from me. They always bring out a racing trailer with straight piped Accords, turbo Odysseys, and Pilots with built in jungle gyms. They are INSANE.

As for the mower, yes please.

Off topic sort of.

I find it funny to see this article about Honda and lawn mowers. Cause I just chipped in with the family to buy my father a new lawn mower that's AWD and powered by Honda.

And that Odyssey is ridiculous...

you bet your ass if honda makes a new "s2000", it will whip the 86's ass.

But it will cost $5K -$10K more.

it would be a $40k car...add 10-15k in upgrades to an 86 and see what happens.

Stock for stock theyre very close. Our prius tires help nothing in terms of being on a level playing field with a stock S2K. Put some better tires on our car and your good to go. Either was the S2K was a $35,000 car.

Close as far as what? Cuz I ran my buddy's s2k and there was nothing close about it.

you can make any car better, faster, stronger with money.

Fett4Real · 06-12-2013, 09:53 AM

Close in terms of handling I assume when you say you "ran" you buddies S2K you mean you were drag racing it? THESE ARE NO MUSCLE CARS.
