600 is just a number.

but it means NO VTEC
not no redline.


But anyways just take it easy until you learn the car and then you can redline on every gear, every day!

The car is a blast once you get past the "break in period"

CONGRATS on you 07'!!

If you love your S2000 just err on the side of caution and baby it for 600 miles. It's not a lot to ask.

600 miles isn't that long. It's worth the wait
