|  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!

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
