Why?

/o/ is just going to whine about it and throw tantrums like they did when the FR-S came out.

That's a render you fuccboi

>>14085543
Even the 2003 S2000 is by far a superior vehicle to the 2014 gt86. If anything the people on /o/ who think the Miata is underpowered would be happy to see a more powerful contender

>new nsx

>new supra
>new 86
All we need is a new Skyline (cheaper than the GT-R, a real successor to the Skyline GT-R) and a new Silvia and it'll be a proper resurgence of 90s JDM sports cars.

>>14085637
we also have the new miats and rx7

how coul you forgot those

>>14085639
>rx7
Holy fuck, source?

>>14085639
New rx-9 if that counts

>>14085637
Skyline GT-Rs (especially BNR34) were never cheap

>>14085619
.. The s2000 was like double the price of an 86 and produced 200hp same as the 86. It was just as slow and had the worst torque curve.

>>14085629

the s2000 is still a shitbox

>>14085645
Nevermind, found it through google.

>>14085649
I mean say, $70,000 vs $200,000. That kind of cheap. 370z doesn't cut it and they should just discontinue it in favor of a Silvia S16.

>>14085645
where the fuck have you been?

google rx-vision

>>14085650
>>14085650
it made 240hp and had double wisbones instead of shitty mcphersons

> the worst torque curve.
yeah right, enjoy your torque dip in the slowbaru

>>14085629
Wait, the S2000 is 2800lbs?
How the fuck did they accomplish that? A similar year pigfat Corvette is like 3100 with fluids.

It has a lolnotorque I4. Are the body panels made of lead?

>>14085650
240hp, and has an LSD diff, and is faster to 60 by about a second on average

>>14085660

Not mad, just stating the truth.

Were you offended or something?

aww poor little baby

>>14085676
........The BRZ/FR-S twins also have limited slips.

>>14085658
Nice shoop faggot

>>14085675
its a convertible, it needs a heavier backbone chassis to cope with its structural downsides

also a c5z was 3,300 pounds or in the correct numbers more than 1.5 tons

oh wow a forum post by some faggot who doesnt even have an avatar. great evidence you got there

btw keep in mind the toyobaru and mx5 were driven by randy probst (a full weight american), not some skinny autistic honda fangirl.

>>14085699
why does wikipedia says 3,300?

>>14085734
It says that the BASE C5 is a hair under 3300.
Read again.

Literally just search for the word "curb"

>>14085726

Randy's skinny as fuck what are you babbling about?

>>14085726
>this mad at facts

the mx5 is much slower on tsukuba, thats a better benchmark

>>14085699
The normal C5 Corvette did weigh around 3300lbs though.

>>14085754
Tsukuba is a terrible benchmark.
It's a fucking go cart track.

There's a reason that it produces a different dataset than almost every other track. Not to mention that a ton of the laptimes are set by Japanese, who are historically incredibly biased against foreign cars.

>>14085769
>still spouting the go kart track meme

Wasn't one of the fastest cars around there an M3?

>>14085769
you are retarded

the longest straight is over 400 meters, thats is much longer than any straigh in streets of willow

it has 3 very fast corners

>>14085754
>usdm vs jdm
waah waah! (am i doing it correct??)

>>14085789
both the type S and that mx5 that were tested in tsukuba are JDM

>>14085802
>left hand drive mx5 shown
nice try cunt

>>14085782
And the other ELEVEN CORNERS IN LESS THAN A MILE are slow as FUCK.

>>14085808
Oh wait, I forgot that's the bike track.
Still, 9 slow as fuck corners in less than a mile (subtracting the straight)

>>14085808
tsukuba is a track for handling, the only thing that matters

Low speed cornering =/= handling.

>>14085808
>are slow as FUCK
are you fucking stupid

>>14085531
if there is a new s2k and it ends up looking like your pic (the new NSX) then creativity in the modern car industry really is dead.

>>14085828
low speed cornering is the definition of handling

what do you think slalom tests are?

>>14085832
This just it. Formula One cars have terrible handling.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

>>14085808
>slow as FUCK
Maybe if you're driving

>>14085838
>implying a formula 1 car will not rekt literally anything but a go-kart in a slalom

also downforce =/= handling

meanwhile nissan is holding their dick and making the Z a crossover

>>14087521
Abarth engine is actually rumored not to be a tuned 1.4, but a 1.75 T-jet (from the 4C, basically), detuned to around 200hp. If that really is the case, intake, exhaust, and a good dyno tune should get you around 270 hp.

>>14088102
>thinking 270 hp after a tune is good
Kek

>>14087513
S2k was not higher than the Boxster, or Z4 on the prestige spectrum. They were same class cars. With Porsche being the most prestigious, then Z4 and then S2k.

>>14088088
Why would want the shitty no crossover I-VTEC?

>>14088133
The Z4 and Boxster were more expensive and prestigious but mainly because they were more luxurious and brand name. S2000 performed every bit as good and probably better

>>14085531
lol Honda isn't doing so good financially right now guys.

>>14088137
There are two IVTECs. One with cross over one without. Its not needed with turbo anyways

>>14088133
He said competed with, didn't he

>>14088141
Boxster owner here, can confirm. Though I will say the Boxster is a better daily driver than the S2000

>>14088112
Yeah, not many tuners are trying to exceed 270 flywheel Hp in the Giulietta QV and 4C, because of their kinda weak drivetrains. I suspect the Fiata can take more of a beating - maybe toward 300bhp.

>>14087457
