The S2K is unique compared to other sports cars. For one, it's about the best value out there in a sports car. Secondly, it has a lot of unique features like a 9k (8k in newer versions) redline, a short shifting, close geared 6 speed transmission, about the best handling you'll find in a sports car, and the reliability of a Civic. There is more to it than that but that's a start.

It comes with a secret compartment. And I'm not going to tell you where it is!

Does this compartment have illegal things in it? Is that why it's a secret?

It certainly COULD be used to house illegal things. I can tell you that when the car first came out it was unbelievably common for people to not even know about this compartment. I, myself, didn't know about it for a good month after I got the car
