[B]For those who have owned it for a year or more, how well are the parts holding up? Does it have any annoyances like faulty brake cylinder switches (like I have had on both Acuras)? I currently own a CL and am thinking about either a s2000 or z4. The only thing that worries me about Hondas are the rattles and

Pros: 1. More fun than My Big VTwin VTX......maybe just as fast
2 Addiction: The more you drive, the more you want to drive

Cons:

1. Addiction

2. Every WRX, Jetta, Passat, 'stang, beemer, eclipse, 300Z wants to race
3. Boxters seem to know better
They all shrink smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror

Xntrick..... I too have a VTX 1300 Black...Love to ride that bike !!

I just got a S2K over Christmas (present to me)..700 miles later I am glad I got it over the many other choices.

I love the way the car "fits" Im 5'11" and the car seems like it was built for me. At first I didnt like the dash, now I love it...all the controls are right there, Tach is cool and the digital speedo is easy to find @ 105 mph..
The styling is the best out there, I looked at the 350Z...toooo modern looking, no sunroof either!!!
I dont see the S2K everywhere...limited production
Good gas mileage...much cheaper than filling up my Dodge Ram
Convertible
The handling...!!
The Brakes !!!

Overall, IMO the S2K is the best all around pure sports car out there.

guys... If you plug your VINs into your profiles, s2ki.com will recognize you as owners.

Funny, I haven't gotten the "street encounter" thing here... Maybe I'm just too old for that stuff! Or, maybe here in MA, lesser machines don't wanna get their doors blown off! !!!

Anyone who has any doubts, I've been through it. Look what I own now.

Before you buy a S2000 check out other cars that if you are looking for performance have more TQ HP and all the parts are cheaper and easier to upgrade and have same gas milage. I know i be hated here and am not trying to start a fight but check out 99+ Mustang GT or Cobra, Corvette c5, Firebird or even if you want a v6 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (240HP with 280lb Tq) all of those cars are cheper to upgrade and you will see more performance for less money then for s2000. Dont be just close minded when there are other cars that are as good or even better.
