Mike, you're far more faithful the the S than I could ever be!
Hehe, he can drive the S in a bit of snow. The Z06? Not a chance. We constantly hear about how twitchy the S is on OEM tires when the road gets cold. Those people have no idea what cold roads and performance tires are like till they drive something with over 500 HP. Those same people would simply die in such a car. The S in such environments is easy to control by comparison. Next time we hear about how bad the S is in the cold, we can safely say it's not the car. It's the driver.
I've said it before, if only they make 315 snow tires, I'd drive one of these year round. Hell, if they made 335 snow tires, I'd probably still have my Viper.

I hear ya. I drove a 450HP TT 911 AWD on very cold roads and it was a hoot.

Getting back to the original topic, if I were an S2000, I'd be really nervous sleeping beside such a brute.

Dave, I think that compared to most RWD cars (with similar numbers) the S2000 is twitchy (in the cold/wet). I'm not saying that it is undrivable but you need to be more alert than in comparable vehicles. I can't imagine what 500 ponies would be like on cold/wet tires...but I'd love to find out someday.

Or maybe the S2000 says if Honda had made me a $90k sports car like you instead of a 50k sports car, I'd probably be raping you!

Sweet car though, congrats!
I don't think Honda is capable of selling a 505 HP car for $90,000

But we can only hope they do

Honda already makes a $140,000.00 car and it has nowhere near 505 HP. If they ever did, it would cost twice as much, maybe even 3 times.
