Picked up my '04 S2K this morning and haven't stopped drivin' and grinnin'
Posted below on another thread before I noticed that it wasn't an '04 (but beautifull nontheless)
Hope it's okay to move a thread like this (I'm still new here)
This is in sequence

Mine came in today, and if I hadn't been out driving, I would have beaten your post time

 

Just came back from another fun but low rpm drive.........like I said - it will be a long 600miles
I really can't comment above 4k or so, but it definetly has more pull down low. Really noticed it when I started out in 3rd instead of 1st . Since it was rushhour here in the 'burbs, I was able to get an idea what it is like in traffic, and there does seem to be less of a need to shift (personally, I LOVE to shift, but you don't have to if you don't want). Like mentioned previously, it is really slick shifting into gears. I remember the shifts in the previous models as being a little on the harsh side (not in a bad way, just seemed to take more effort) and shifting into 5th and 6th esp. seems very smooth and positive on the new model (previous version seemed a little hard to find when shifting quickly - may have been just me though )
As far as the supension is concerned - again, I haven't been able to really push it, but I have taken a few quick corners and like the previous versions, this thing is like on rails!! I really can't tell if its any softer or not, but it does seem a little smoother overall. Body roll seems the same (very little) and the steering is pretty much what it felt like on the previous years. I can't tell any real difference in lock/lock turns (only a .2 difference anyway).
I really liked the 9k redline though and I will miss the "bragging" rights of that and the 120/liter hp rating, but as I look at my new baby in the garage, I think somehow I will be just fine

I finally had to put the top up when the temps dropped below 40f (I was in a short sleeve shirt - too much in a hurry to go driving to grab a jacket - should have seen the looks I got
Again I was amazed at the amount of headroom in this thing (my other small car was an X1/9 where I had to tilt my head or scooch down in the seat so my head would fit). The seats are soooooo comfortable and in the red/black combo just look terrific.
BTW - It's Silverstone w R/B interior

Like I mentioned - have pics - just need to be able to post them somehow.
