Who doesn't love a sportbike with doors? or a go kart with liscence plates?!

S2k=

It's such a fun car to drive. That's exactly what it is... a four-wheeled sport bike. Lots of fun!

CR lip looks a bit out of place, especially from that angle.

Yeah, honestly, we'll probably do the more subtle lip without the splitter underneath it.

+1 for Hardtop. I'm not sure about your area, but in chicago people cut right into the soft top and steal what they want without triggering an alarm.

?

^ Love that look, I want those air ducts for my AP1. I'm not sure if that lip will fit on AP2 face though.

I ordered seat locks for this reason.

It's a fair-weather car, though, so it will be parked in safe areas to the best of my ability. It's not a primary car so nothing will be kept inside, so if they cut it open well they'll just be disappointed by what they find.

I need to get those "seat lock" stickers for the windows.

Someone tell me what I should use to clean and protect the top.

esfourteen · 02-13-2012, 03:57 PM

The Spoon hardtop was designed in a wind tunnel to aid in drag. Thats why it costs so much. Its the top of choice in Japan for road race s2000's.

nobody denies the functionality of it all. common sense-wise tells you the teardrop design will be better aerodynamically than the sudden cutoff of the OEM hard top. but the wind tunnel testing is for track ready s2ks. it's not practical for the daily driver, or even the weekend warrior.

Oh, so one bummer. I am missing the wheel lock key. The dealership is checking to see if they (or the previous owner) have it. If not I am going to order a new set and spin the current ones off with a turbo socket.

Nice stable

NYBladeZ · 02-13-2012, 04:10 PM

I love the s2k, the gearbox is divine (my biggest gripe with the m6 Z) and it is well balance. Having a drop top makes it all that more enjoyable. However, the s2k does not respond to bolt on power mods. I know that's not what most people intend to do with it when they pick one up but who wouldn't want a little more power. With that said an S/Ced s2k is a beast, it'll make 360whp on a safe tune and outrun just about anything.
