To make a s2k better..... v6
that's a s2kcr with a 3.7Litre v6 from a 09 acura TL; 305 hp and 273 lb.-ft. of torque. This would be better, right?

Wow! Should go pretty good! It's probably already 1000 pounds less than the TL SH-AWD...

there have been a lot more fun engine swaps with the s2000, but the fact that Honda did this makes it just so much better!

nah no way. the car's out of production now, there's especially no reason for them to go so far out of their way with R&D to throw an AWD system on a chassis that was never intended for it. imo.

I hope they didn't ruin the weight distribution on this thing. Somehow a more powerful engine for me doesn't always make it better. I'd still prefer a high-strung motor myself.

weight distribution...
its too nose heavy. the car is fairly light but the engine, even in the tsx v6, is too heavy
