Default Entering Charity Car show (question)

So they ask this...
Points of interest about the vehicle. (i.e ownership history, specifications, special features)

It's a small box I have to fill with just some "interesting" points.

I've put....
240HP from 2.0L inline 4cyl.
0-60 in 5.5s
Top Speed 280Km/h
Fastest Drop Top (6 seconds)

Not sure if the 280 is entirely true, but someone has mentioned doing it, maybe 260Km/h as max instead or just not put that??

Anything else I should put?

The engine's 9000 RPM redline is worth mentioning.

I'd state it as having 120hp per liter, one of the highest of all production cars (NA), and yes, the 9K redline is worth mentioning.

One of the sexiest cars ever produced. setting the stage for the import wars of these early years of the millenium.

Isn't it THE highest NA HP/L??

So how about...
120 NA HP per liter highest in any prodution car (240HP 2.0L)
9000 RPM Redline
0-60 in 5.5s
Top Speed 280Km/h
Handling on par with a go-cart

No, from what I had recently read, I believe it is Ferrari that edges out the S2K.

But from an "affordable-and-everyday-driving" aspect, the S2K is the highest!

As for top speed, I haven't gotten more than 135mph with the top down on a fairly flat road/straightaway from a 2nd gear start (from turning onto the road from another road). I'm sure I could get in the 140's with the top up, but I still don't see how the S2K will get 155 or more, as seems to be stated in the car mags.

It is also LEV (Low Emmissions Vehicle). i.e. part of the Honda philosophy - fun to drive (power), environmentally friendly (efficient), and technically advanced (R&D biased).

You could throw in the PR stuff and history.
- designed for 50th anniversary of Honda Motor Company
- designed by the engineers that did the NSX and responsible for the develompent of the all conquering Formula 1 engines of the late 80's (just part of Honda's racing heritage)
- fourth car in line with the other Honda sports car roadsters, S500(first car Honda built), S600, S800M

Oh I like that:

2001 Honda S2000
Designed for Honda's 50th Anniversary
+ some specs.

That's probably good, it's only going on a small slip of paper, doesn't / can't be too long.
