Was it a Skyline IRS? Thought it would have been a Silvia unit.

Yes the stock gears are 4.10's. The stock gearing would get the car up to 160 ish with enough power, now my car tops out at 142 ish. On the freeway i normally go about 65 to 70 mph because i am at 4500 to 4800 rpm. Its not that loud when not in it, but it takes time getting use to it reving that high and it doesnt help gas mileage. But around town i get great gas mileage

here are the gear ratios:
Gear Ratios - 1st 3.133

Gear Ratios - 2nd 2.045

Gear Ratios - 3rd 1.481

Gear Ratios - 4th 1.161

Gear Ratios - 5th 0.971

Gear Ratios - 6th 0.811

Gear Ratios - Reverse 2.8

Limited Slip Differential
Torsen (Type B)

I was going to say the same thing about one less import, but I've have gotten a new respect for them since I've joined Motorgen.

You are going to LA Auto show?

I have always had respecto for domestic cars even though I havent owned one yet. Hopefully one day I will. However it has always been difficult to get respect from domestic owners and I think that is why I have come to really like this forum even though I have only been a member for a short time now. On the other hand, I have no respect for ricers, not all imports are rice, just the crappy imports that have ebay sponsorships

Had to quote you before you decide to go back and delete your post. Bird, you're next.

This thread is almost a year old... I just saw it. I've been aware of the news for some time. It's really too bad, I think the S2K is a great car. I have wanted one since they were available (there's a lot of cars I want ). I've ridden in a couple and had a chance to drive one pretty hard, and I just love it. It could use a little more torque (like most small displacement engine cars), but it handles great, and feels real light on its feet. Good luck finding a new car with RWD, 200+hp, and sub 3000# weight. Can't really think of one off the top of my head. One of these days I will have an NSX too, I think that would make a great daily driver
