US AP2 got DRLs in '06
Canadian S2000s have had them since Day 1 (required by law)

Odometer and speedo both change for both US and Canadian cars.


If you search in the Toronto forums you can find a lot of info from people who have done this...

You'll have much nicer sun visors without warning stickers...

I know that the speedo can change from miles to kilometers, not sure about the odometer, though.
Did you even read the OP's statement? He said he's planning to buy a US spec car (from Iowa), which would come WITH the warning stickers.

Oh, and the speedo and odo measurements both change with the units.

Correction: only 2006+ US-spec S2000 cames stock with DRLs. 2004 and 2005 US-spec models are AP2s and did NOT come stock with DRLs.

Canadian are slower. They have 240 Canadian horsepower, which as we all know, are slow and lazy horses.
Careful. As the US hp continues to weaken against the Canadian hp, they are slowly becoming closer in value.

s2000 Type-E, very european indeed.

It's the high beam at lower power.
