well, I'll agree to disagree with you
Whether its top of the line F20C's (found in the s2000) or your standard K20 - they're all tough. I had a 98 Prelude in my early car ownership years that I absolutely sh*tkicked for 98,000 kms, and I never had a problem.
I race my s2000 on the track, so its seen its fairshare of abuse, at above 6000 rpms all day long, and it still runs very, very strong with no indications of wear. Those blow up civic you see are from kids putting 150 shot nitrous kits with no internal work, or doing burn outs in the middle of the night. Spirited acceleration isn't going to blow an engine.
But whatever, he's gonna buy what he likes bottom line. How he treats it is his business.
