I love S2k's (particularly the 2.2L ones) The handling is awesome, the cockpit "fits" like a glove, and the understated design will probably still look good another 30 years from now.

As for a new one, I hope they don't stray from the original recipe.

I'm sure it will stay true to the original with a touch of modern.

The S2K is not my cup of tea per se. But ugh... I don't understand how people don't understand why people would LOVE a free revving high Rpm fun small lightweight sports car. Honestly, I would've rather owned an RX8 over a S2k if I were looking for that type of car. But an S2K is a logical choice for fans of them...

Should have added a turbo from day one

As a previous s2k owner the s2k isn't exactly a torque monster either lol At times I rev to 9k on the s2k feels like I'm going no where. I drove a friends rx8 the are actually similar, as you have to ring out the rpms to get the thing going. But I felt the rx8 was a lot smoother and didn't sound like it was going to blow up at 9k rpm like the s2k.

Ive owned an S2k and also drove a friends RX8 and I agree its smooth as butter and it also has a very similar power band. But the way the S2k delivers power is just more exciting and has more character than the RX8. Love the RX8 though and they can be had for DIRT cheap right now.

There are so few cars I have such little respect for as an RX-8. That was a failure on so many levels. Who signed off on that? Its like the person who said "ok, lets run with that" had no idea what a vehicle is, let alone a sports car, and by God a platform with an RX history.

A buddy of mine got one back in High School when they first came out - yeah, one of those kids whose mom buys them a $40k sports car and then they fail their drivers test and can't drive it for a few weeks. It was the automatic RX8...so slow. I believe the manuals were a bit faster and the later year model's were better, but man did everyone crap all over that car.

The ONLY thing going for it, albeit a HUGE one, was the chassis. So underpowered they were sued. A 1.3L(Equivelant Wankel size) that gulps fuel with no turbo to the tune of an optimistic 16MPG driven moderately. All kinds of electrical issues. You had to let the car run a while to turn if off properly...wtf? What else?

Edit: Yet SOMEHOW it won the huge majority of test against the 350's of the day because it "had a back seat" and was better in traffic....Rag editors are on meth. *edit Edit...Despite losing every conceivable metric in performasnce. Not by "Well that could have gone either way", no butchered it, to the point of my cat could have tested against the 8 in my 350 and murdered it. It has backseats so that negates everything. Cant park the farking thing without flodding it IF you have enough gas to attempt to start it.
