S2000 Talk Discussions related to the S2000, its ownership and enthusiasm for it.

Does the S2000 really draw that much attention ?

Get a Purple one...
The Midnight Pearl Metallic is hot on an S!

Yellow stands out more just because its a bright color...go to your local Honda Dealership or use autotrader to find a yellow one and have a look at it in person.

If you seek attention, get the Porsche Boxster. If you want performance, then get the S2000. The regular Boxster, not the S, is about the same as the S2000.

Nah..that is not the case...I have had several people either a) confuse if for a damn miata b) asked me what kinda car it is c) ask me if it was a new model porsche.

Also if I start talking about the cars and people ask me what I drive and I say "an S2000." They always ask me what kinda car that is

but to the topic. I actually own a Silverstone. It wasn't my first choice (I wanted GPW), but now I think in terms of being clean and sleek, you can't go wrong with the color.

Yellow on the other hand, draws way more attention (close second being red). Which IMHO a negative because of police.

I have a NFR and love the attention. I drive worse than my grandmother, so the cops never bother me.

I've got a yellow one.

I get a LOT of attention from kids around 10 years old or younger. You'd think I was driving a Lambo. Women... Nope. Cops... Nope.

More on the police. I've had A LOT of pull-overs and quite a few tickets, but so far none in the S. My black BMW 4-door, which I bought as a stealth vehicle (and almost never washed) got me three tickets in a little over a year.

Nope. There are plenty of people that are completely clueless.

Just yesterday a guy was looking at the front of mine and exclaimed "It's a Honda!".
