Honda's engineering expertise lies in building extremely efficient, naturally-aspirated, lower-displacement engines, and in making them ultra-reliable. This is exactly what they've done with the engine in the S2000. You can say all you like that they should increase displacement, turbo- or supercharge, or try something new in general, but you can't say that the S2000's engine, which has the highest power to displacement ratio of any naturally-aspirated engine on Earth, isn't a spectacular piece of automotive engineering.

I'm sure there's a ton of cars that could beat an S2K in a drag race, but how many of those same cars could even try to keep up on a road course?

Also: Can any car challenge the S2000 for the title of Best Shifter Ever?
