You guys take your red/white/whatever color cars! As long as mine is Silverstone, it will always be faster than your cars! Silverstone adds 50hp

The reason you don't see very many GPW red/black is because Honda knew we would hurt your feelings on the road too much. j/k Joey.

well I will just tell you that I had a GPW/black-red and thought that it was the fastest of all the colors. That was until I drove a berlina. the berlina must have at least 700 more hp than the GPW and all other colors.

It's more than just the car, it's the memories you had in it. To make yourself feel better, I'd remember what made you get rid of it in the first place. What did you like about the GTO that made you get it? Sorry to hear you're not happy with the new beef. You could always sell the goat. It's only money right?

I will always make room for an S or its equivalent.

You had to of known the Goat wouldn't handle the way the S does. I still like your yellow GTO, but I'd not want to take it driving in the mountains or on any twisties. It wasn't built for that. Sell it and get the new blue S. I do love GPW though.

I'm looking for a change from the S too, but it would be hard for me to go from the S to a larger, heavier car. I don't think I could do it.

Give it some time and you won't miss it that much anymore. Time heals all wounds. These guys will surely give you a ride every once in a while. I love my new car. It's fast and fun in a different way. I don't miss my high S2000 payments. I don't miss how dangerous it can be in the rain or slippery conditions. I don't miss how it had no room inside the cockpit or trunk. I don't miss those seats (comfortable for 30 minutes max and then your back hurts because of the lack of lumbar support not to mention that everybody wants to steal them along with your antenna) I don't miss cocking my head to the side looking for a stoplight to change. I don't miss the attention from the police even if you're not speeding. I don't miss getting reved on by everybody and their grandmother 24/7. I don't miss the haters who just yell at you randomly for no reason. I don't miss all of the fresh, young vagina that came at me non-stop( I was getting tired) I don't miss the bogging and slower than a Civic torque spot below 6000 rpm's. I don't miss replacing my rear tires constantly. I don't miss being paranoid that something is going to happen to it. I don't miss how the S2000 is pure evil and turns you into an agggressive and inconsiderate driver. I could go on and on and on. The S2000 is a fine car but it is not the greatest thing ever invented like some people like to believe.
Rich ,
give it some time and don't make any snappy decisions. If you still want another one down the road you have that option.

Hey Little Buddy, that's why you get a second car and have the S for a fun car. If I want space/room and a quiet ride, I drive the Toyota Matrix. I really don't crave torque, just nice speed, good handling, and that great gearbox on the S. I also love the top down.
