Default NEW 2006 S2k Owner! VERY happy!

I just got on the lease program:

$715 Total to start
$389 Per month including tax
36 Months
12k Miles/year

GPW Color, Black Interior, Black Top... No extra options...

I think I did pretty good...

I am in love with the way the car drives... The revs BARELY drop while upshifting, distance from gear to gear is VERY short, steering/handling is EXTREMELY sharp (even though I will end up getting the Tein Flex )... and most of all the sweet spot.. VTEC after 5500 RPM?? Overall, very impressed with the package...

3 years of fun, to come...

How long is the breakin period???

I will keep my 05 IS300 as my daily driver, and drive my S2k LOTSSS on the weekends...

Now, the funnest part, the MODS... coming soon...

1) Apexi GT Spec Exhaust
2) AEM CAI
3) Tein Flex
4) Racing Hart C4R Black
5) ENJOY!

Later maybe Flywheel, Clutch, Brakes...

Will update soon!

Congrats! Welcome to the GPW family.

I got a similar lease too but for $399 including tax for 15k miles. My drive off was only a couple bucks higher than yours.

Congrats on the purchase! You really plan on modding that thing out for leasing it. You'll also find that intakes and exhausts from previous years do not bolt up to 2006 models. Invidia is the only exhaust I am aware of that makes one that bolts up to 2006 models. Keep hearing AEM is working on an intake, but haven't heard of one being out yet. Also this car does not make much power with mods unless its forced induction. Honda did pretty well from the factory. Might gain 5-8hp with an intake and exhaust.

Read the manual regarding break in. No revs over 5500 rpms for the first 600 miles! It's tough to wait that long.
