Yes it doesn't get as good MPG as the other 4s but how can you even compare a high output highly developed and tuned 4 to a regular eco box 4.


I have a hard time believing in the 24mpg since my friends dad owns a Shebly GT500 and those things deff don't get good MPG. I do know the Vettes get in the 20s tho.

@OP
The S2k makes it power due to the stroke and compression but because of how it was design it doesnt take well to boost without being overhauled 1st
Some of the Muscle cars with really tall gearing tend to get "decent" highway MPG. The Corvette has really long gearing too.

The S2000 is capable of plenty of power on the stock block especially with race fuel or alcohol. Although for pump gas it's probably safer to lower the compression . I've heard of 400WHP S2000s on pump gas.
