This happened to me a lot in the first month or so that I had the car. I don't really get it anymore. Either that or I had so much practice ignoring them revving on me and slowing down to wait for me that now I don't even notice it.

I get challenged all the time, but now that the car is going back to stock it seems like it happens a little less.

I usually just shake my head while laughing at them when they rev and try other things to taunt me into racing them...

a lot of people want to race my s2k specially because they few and rare and sometimes people dont know that the s2k have only 240hp maibe it looks like is more powerful.
Well I am a kid, and I would say what makes me "think" the s2000 is powerful is how long the hood is and how big the engine bay is. You don't really expect a two-seater to have such a large engine bay. Looking at my brother's Saturn and then mine, my engine bay was about 1.5X the size of his Saturn's which has somewhere around 120 hp.

Kids?? The kids are the ones driving the s2000s these days. I see more kids (right out of HS) drive the s2000 more than adults. I shouldn't of bought a car at the end of its production life.
