I don't get the question? Is it possible? Of course it's possible.

I have a question for you. Why do you ask?

They make an automatic NSX, is that not a sports car anymore? I say go for it, maybe more chicks would drive S2000's . I would love an auto when I get caught in stop and go traffic.

You obviously haven't read my other posts.

I don't want to have this done, I think it would take a great deal away from the car other than just power. BUT, my friend swears they saw this, I was just wondering what work and costs would incure, so that I could make the best educated guess as to whether or not they actually saw it. (Note: A woman was driving the S, not a flame, but women are more prone to driving automatics.) And she seemed well off, so my friend was considering maybe the woman got it done? Anyway, I wanted to know approx. how much work would be involved, etc.

Maybe the driver had a passenger on the other side doing the shifting?? I've done that several times.

I'd put pounds to pennies you buddy saw an S2000 with Z4 written on the back of it.

2nd hand info depreciates even quicker than 2nd hand S's.

I'm really starting to believe that, because I really don't believe there is an automatic S2000 even in existence.

This may not be auto, but it is clutchless and sequential and available for the S2000.
