Its a 2000, red with black interior. Spec d single catback, headers, test pipe, tein springs, ap2 wheels painted black, falken azenis tires 225s front 255s rear. I agree 110%, the z lacks something. Im more than happy so far. Plan on either a full race turbo kit or maybe centrifugal s/c with an evans tuning tune (i live 5 min away!) this summer after i get back from basic traing. I will be autocrossing and road course racing shortly but what an awesome car i cant say enough... all the s owners ive met and talked to have been awesome.

Well TBH Honda is pretty boring besides the S2k lol. Nissan offers way more innovative machines than Honda, but I agree the S2k is better all around than the 350z.

But Honda's ability to be so god damn boring is frankly annoying.

ANYWAY... Welcome the S2k is an awesome machine, truly feels like a cracked out go cart.

nothing like a 9000rpm redline and the potential of the f20/f22. Gotta love it!

Ya the 350z always felt like pig to me, I would always feel like i was going to roll through stop signs and lights. You can really feel the weight. But it is a great highway cruiser. \

The S2000 is better in almost every way, but when I had my first s2k (yes I missed it enough to come back after 2 years) I began to get annoyed with the lack of torque at stops, but the sound and thrill of winding through gears during turns makes up for it. I could NEVER DD this car, but love it as a toy.

I should be at 350-370whp within the next month!
