Nice videos
The second one was a little strange...like some kind of music video featuring the S2000 and the Miata. I do like the PRHT on the Miata though.

It seems like so long ago when the C5 debuted that it's hard to remember a time when the NSX was the sports car to emulate. I distinctly remember seeing a video interview where one of the designers specifically stated that some of the design cues were taken from the nsx. I will see if I can dig up a link:>

The NC Miata is only a supercharger (low-boost) away from S2000 HP level

Cool cars

Kenneth, you should come by to take a spin in the NC, and post your thoughts as a recent S2000 owner.

Here's the S2000 CR and my Miata running together @ Harris Hill Road. It's a long video, so if you want to skip to the action, try approx. 4:24 when I pit in to bring the CR out to play. Then @ 16:00, I slow down and pull over to let the CR in front so I can get some chase footage. Around 22:50, I'm on my cool-down lap when my buddy comes by in his new Spec Boxster. I suspected it would be a futile chase since he's much more experienced at this and has a dedicated racecar, but I thought it would be fun to at least give it a try. Since this was taped, I've added RX-8 sport sway bars, which really flattened out the lean in the corners. I can't wait to see how it does on the track this Saturday.

Is it just me or is there no other cars in the video? You sure you linked the right video?

Sorry, it's not just you! I've reached my Vimeo limit for the week, so I'll try again early next week.
