I've driven the Subaru Sti. I've driven the 350Z. Both have amazing power and handling but it's a completely different feel.

Driving the S2000 is like having sex with a girl who has an amazing body and knows how to use it. Driving the Subaru is like sex with a buff/fat chic who likes it painfully rough! Driving the 350Z was like being suffocated by the fat chic while she's on top (due to it's lack of visibility and high hood/windows.

This is why I made sure my '08 only had 4 miles on it when I went shopping for a S. Didn't want one that spent time in Vtec-land before the break-in period was up.

could have happened within the 4 miles theoretically

Thumbs down

How can you say the S2000 is slow, and doubt people's stories on Street Encounters when a fair majority of those people posting have in-car videos to back up their proof? It's all about the driver, which can clearly be seen here: Link

My friend and I went down to the local Honda dealership that happens to be right down the street from my place. I actually didn't expect to find any there but figured what the hell.... to my surprise they had " 9 " on the showroom floor! There were about 4 yellow, 2 blacks, 2 Silvers and 1 Red. 3 of them were new 2000 models, but they were reluctant to drop much off of MSRP.

We ended up taking the red one out w/only 63 miles on the odometer. I got to drive the thing hard (sorry to the next owner) and was very disappointed with the lack of power even way up past V-tec land. The car just made alot of noise but didn't really go anywhere.

I did like the handling of the car though. Inspiring... shitty stock clutch though.

All in all I honestly expected more from the car. I'm in no way flaming the car or any of their owners, but I now have a even harder time believing all of the Street Encounters stories posted.

Just my (nobody) observation.

guess he changed his mind
