I go with the flow in traffic, like everyone should. I let it scream on twisty backroads with no traffic, without being too dangerous. I VTEC multiple times almost everytime I drive. I have 64K miles, am on the original clutch and have had zero problems... knock on wood.

If you own a S2000 and don't regularly VTEC and take it to the twisties, I sort of feel sorry for you. That's one of the most enjoyable things I do.

 

Well my comment obviously didn't apply to those with a stock exhaust. And I don't know how the cops are in texas, but around my area if I were to shift at 5k all the time around town I'm going to get bombarded with tickets.

 

I drive it like the idiot I used to think the OTHER guy in the roadster was.

As stated above: I drive it like I stole it.

 

How I drive: Slow on the street (always <5000rpm), fast at the track (always >6000rpm).

 

I usually drive slower and shift around 3,000 rpms or so, but every once in a while I need to hear the engine roar.

 

i find myself revving a lit high all the time even without trying
as far as mpg goes
no point in that with 4.77's ill be lucky to get 25mpg
but totally worth it

 

Now that I have Blizzaks on, very carefully.

 

Between 4 & 4.5 in traffic but vtec is so much fun I use it at least once a day - on one part of a fun back road I love to stay in 3rd and listen to the great sound at 8-9

 

I drive kinda civilized but sill stick my foot in it if I feel speedy.

 

Nothing wrong with driving the car on the street like a reasonable human being.

Zinging it to 9k every once in a while (or all the time) on the street isn't the same thing as utilizing the car to its full potential. If you're not tracking the car, you are not fully utilizing its performance anyway.

You can't get away with driving over, say, 7/10ths for long on the street. And the fun doesn't really start until 9.5/10ths anyway. As far as I'm concerned, on the street I may as well drive it at 3/10ths as 7/10ths, and 3/10ths allows me to get better mileage and keep my license.

Personally, I think its great that the S is a *very* reasonable and somewhat economical (I average 28mpg) street car, while also being a very capable and fun track car.

I totally disagree with the notion that if you don't drive an S2000 like an idiot on the street, that you got the wrong car. The car's plenty fun at 3/10ths.
