It had the common tranny problems that all S2Ks suffer from (grinding and deceleration buzzing). They still havent fixed it in the new models. I love to drive, but I got tired of shifting all day long to find the powerband. I must say though, it was one of the most balanced stock cars I have ever driven. Sweet handling. Just needs more power. My car only dynoed 183hp stock :( The most I have seen a stock S2K dyno was 210. They really need an S2K Type R :)
