Default S2000 prototype on the Nurburgring video

S2000 prototype on Nurburgring

I ran across this video some time ago but I thought everyone else might like to get a good gander at it. Watching one of the Honda test drivers drive the hell out of a late S2000 prototype on the Nurburgring gives me smiles - especially since he has zero qualms of banging it regularly against the rev limiter. He brings the lap in around 9 minutes even though he had to share the course with non-professionals.

Sadly the closest I'll get to having my S2000 on the Nurburgring is configuring the S2000 in Forza 2 the same as mine. I'll just have to live vicariously through video games and videos on the internet, oh well

In GT4 I could crank out 8:30 pretty regular in a stock S2000.

Fun video - that must have been very near a production S2000 - the interior looks a lot like the AP1s.

The white socks, with the black dress shoes and no helmet is what makes this video such a classic.

I'm so glad we got the AP1 interior and not the original SSM styling
