As an owner of a "high" 400awhp car and a "low" 200whp FWD car, this video nails it just in the middle of both experiences, doesn't need much power to have fun at all!. My FWD is way more fun than my S3 Quattro, by eons of difference.

That engine sounds so much better than the AP2 2.2 you drove recently. I didn't think it would be so much better! Less torque of course, but that sound! It feels like a motorcycle. ❤
@bane210 ай бұрын
I much prefer the F20C character over the F22C. There is definitely a torque deficiency, especially in the midrange, and I suspect the F22C actually made a bit more power. This was proven by countless dyno tests. But the F20C has a bit broader rev range, sounds better and is just more exhilarating imo. The F22C feels like the party ends just as its beginning.
@binskee67710 ай бұрын
@@bane2 actually the F22C made slightly less HP (237 instead of 240) except in japan both made 250hp, F22c makes more torque which makes it easier to drive and lets you pull more from slightly less rpm, the F20C if you want to get the most out of it you have to keep it in a very tiny RPM range like 7500 rpm to 9000, it's possible due to the short gearing but not a easy task, even Misha dropped out of it a few times and you can immediately hear and feel it.
@Weather_Nerd10 ай бұрын
YES! I haven’t owned an S2000 for many years but when I had an AP1 and frequented forums, many talked about the F20C engine paired with the AP2 transmission and/or differential and said it was a fantastic pairing. Always wished I could experience that, but I LOVED the F20C and tbh the torque difference really isn’t thaaat large. One benefit to the AP2 is that you can easily use something like Hondata to change when VTEC engages and make other adjustments. By the numbers FWIR AP1 usually ranged 190-205WHP stock, AP2 closer to 205-220WHP but my memory may be failing me don’t quote that lol.
@Weather_Nerd10 ай бұрын
Funny, MX-5 world is a bit similar. Some truly do prefer the 1.6L in the older NA models despite it being obviously inferior in a few different ways. Part of that is just the experience and sensations plain and simple. Personally, I adore my 1991 NA6 and the 1.6L engine, it reminds me so much of my old S2000 but is less precise steering bit more mushy but more road feel, slower of course, and lower revving. Miata is waaay more forgiving near the limit hahaha. I always thought a perfect car for my liking would be my 2180lb Miata mated with the F20C engine but apparently that requires steering geometry changed to get in so the K swap is the obvious choice but man I totally understand why there are a ton of F20C and F22C1 swapped AE86s out there!

These are such wonderful cars as a platform to build something very exciting. I had a buddy years ago that had one with a centrifugal supercharger, which at the time seemed a little odd to me, but the car doesn’t really make any torque so you got a lot of power filling in where there wasn’t any before, without some crazy doubled effect of lag from having a turbo and all of the power bottled up at the top of the rev range. I hope someday you get to drive one like this, just with some extra oomf.
