Two weeks ago I dyno'd a Ford Model A engine, basically stock. It made 104 Ft. Lbs.@ 1600 RPM. 0-60 6.2 sec. 1/4 mile 14.40@ 94 MPH Top speed 149 . So good performance but not life changing. Base price well equipped in 1999 30,050.00. I misspoke in my above post comparing it to an RX 7 in performance and price. My comparison was to a Mazda Miata, which cost 20,300.00 at the time and was a little slower. Probably why the Honda Training director was so miffed with me. The RX7 of the day was the FD model which would run circles around a S2000 and is also hot on the used car market now. People in their 30's, 40's and early 50's just love these cars.

Can I assume that when you wrote the 0-60 and 1/4 times you reverted to writing about the S2000? Upon the first read it seems like the specs are that of the dyno'd model A.
