I was kinda puzzled why there was only a 1lb-ft difference in torque. They should have been able to squeeze out more than that.
A long time ago, the word was that an S2K-based sedan would replace the 4-dr 'Teg in order to compete with the Lexus IS. There was a possibility that the Prelude would either be discontinued or be based on the S2000 platform as well. But I read that in an issue of SCC from '99, so I'm sure there might be different plans by now.

Type S also reach 141 lbs-ft at 4000 RPM as base model do. 1 extra torque reach at 6000RPM is for advertisement use. The torque line for Type S is flat past 3000RPM where it receives 95% of it's torque already.
