Default The beginning...

Reviews of how it all began....Yes this was an AP1 review, yet it was more than that... it was the significant beginning to the history of our beloved jewel of the East...Just wanted to share some feel good info of our great cars...


"Surgically precise in all of its mechanical movements, you can make the S2000 dance any number you like. Want to bop around town without dipping into the power, achieving an EPA-rated 26 mpg in the process? Keep the revs down and the car will loaf like your neighbor's Civic . Want to tear out the throat of the punk kid in the Mustang GT next to you? Drop the hammer and keep the pedal pegged all the way up to nine grand, enjoying the banshee shriek of the VTEC motor. With its light weight, quick steering, magnificent brakes and stout chassis, the Honda S2000 goes, stops and handles like nothing on this planet. Luxury buyers won't find much to like about the delightfully minimalist cabin, but there's nothing in there to distract from the task at hand -- driving like a bat out of hell." Excerpt taken from "2000 Roadster Comparison" from the year 2000 @ Edmunds.com

I read that during my pre-purchase research. I especially enjoyed their description of "the task at hand".

I was just trolling around and found that out...makes me feel I made the right choice in vehicular selection....

Our focus should be the history, the purpose of the build, and the many years of enjoyment our cars have brought us, rather than which is faster 9k or 8k...thus, this excerpt from edmunds I think puts it all in perspective... The beginning...what a great beginning, and great continuation....S2000's making history...
