Default I went and messed up!

I had my first overdose of V-TEC. I went and test drove on an 04. Came with a hard top, and new tires. It was a blast, but scary as crap! In the end though I waited on it and it got snatched up the next business day. Oh well, the dash flickered, it had just a little wear on some spots, and it was missing a fake vent. All little wear and tear items, but I thought I shouldn't go snatch up the first one a saw and drove. Better luck next time!

Well, when you decide to pick one up, don't drive like a reckless beast. VTEC w/ RWD can screw up any driver. Be careful.

I basically went in a straight line, but I could tell what people were talking about when they say how it breaks loose easily. It was kinda scary going form 6th to 3rd!!!

While I find my S2000 fun to drive I can hardly call its power delivery "scary as crap". YMMV I guess.

I would agree with this...
