Yes, if only it were true but it seems to be a person's writing project.

There are rumours or a model change in 2004 and with the competition bumping the power, I am sure the S2000 will get some extra ponies, perhaps a i-vtec V6.

If you visit the root directory this is the honda family he is talking about :D

Werd. At the least it could have been black or yellow.
Dunno, 360hp coming from a 4banger seems a bit far fetched :bullshit:

anyone know anything on the S2000 V-spec. Or is it something only in the world of Gran Turismo. (I'm too lazy to search)

360hp from a 3.0 Litre V6 if the article was real which it isn't, looks good though.

The V-Spec does exist in Japan, has about 250hp and has a special electronic steering assist at high speeds, not to mention a different steering wheel.

Ummm, it said it was a 6 cylinder. Thats the only way honda's going to manage to match the AMG and M cars, is with bigger motors that produce...TORQUE.

too bad it is an in-line six....:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: but it is :bullshit: anyway so what is the big deal?

Gonna have to agree with redline on the bs factor considering the super popular "mcclatchie.com" has all but one review, no root index and pictures of some lady holding a baby.

that is sooooo fake.........
the 3.0L twin turbocharged inline six in the supra only makes 320hp at the crank
how is honda gonna make a N/A one that makes 360????
what i don't get is why would u make a stupid page like that?
are there that many people without lives?

are there that many people without lives? The same way they make 240hp out of a 2.0L I4.

Make the new 6 cycl. rev to 9000+ rpm and I can see 360 N/A a possibility.

The new 350Z has a 3.5 pumping out ~290hp and redlines at 6500 RPM.

I think Honda should go next for the best hp/litre N/A 6 cycl. production on earth :thumbsup:.

It still has very low torque though.. I guess Honda will always be the torqueless beasts..
