Default S2000 is the Kakeyoro champion

Kakeyoro means sheer driving pleasure. K. Tsuchiya ("Drift King") and a few other Japanese dudes rank cars based on touge (mountain road) driving. The S2000 is at the top of the pyramid, beating cars such as Boxster S, FD RX-7, NSX, Elise (134hp version), and C6 Corvette.

Videos I found on youtube:

Listen out for the cheesy intro voiceovers for each car.

Nice vids. Do S2k 's come with Navi overthere? Because both of the cars had screens in them.

Yep. You can buy the JDM navigation bezel if you want to mimic the Japanese versions.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the S2000 is one of the funnest cars to drive.

Still very surprising.

Boring on paper, but a hoot behind the wheel.
