I know it sounds bad, and maybe it is. It is the only time I have done that to someone. (thought about it several times) The reality was that they literally followed me for several miles making several turns along the way. It became clear to me that they were willing to pursue me to my destination if necessary. I thought I was taking the noble approach by not going with my first instinct and shooting them.

 

I don't know why everyone is associating a screaming engine note with "reckless" driving. Yes, I drive my S2000 like a sportbike but it doesn't mean that I drive recklessly. eg. If I'm on an onramp merging into a fairly empty highway, I might VTEC through 2nd, and 3rd, and partially in 4th before shutting it down. This car was built to rev, and rev like a mutha it does. Not to mention, that many owners like myself, rev match and/or heel and toe on downshifts - in my case, I practically do it when coming to every stop. This car was built to be driven with passion It doesn't take an S2000 to be reckless, and high revs or sound doesnt equal reckless driving. Just my 2 cents.

To paraphrase what Motortrend said, to enjoy driving the S2000, drive it like you hate it.

And to quote European Car:

"In the end I can tell how much fun a car is by how it makes me drive. In the S2000, I'm a raging ass hole. I want to hit 9000 RPM at shift, every stop sign requires threshold braking and every corner is a power slide. Owning an S2000 would wreak havoc on my driving record, but that extra $20,000 will pay a lot of legal bills - advantage Honda" (Face-to-Face comparison with a Porsche Boxster S).

 

Dude it would have probably been safer just to race them or maybe not to anything then just to swerve at them and try to wreck them. I would of chased you down, and did something bad to you. lol

 

well the car is Buy in race track base on the motorcyle because Honda build that because of Honda 50yrs in motocycles.

 

Um, that last post made no sense whatsoever. lol

 

I don't shift past 2nd, just rip around at 8000 RPM all day long.

 

I'm still scared of getting rock chips on my fresh paint, so.. yeah. I drive like a granny most of the time.
I DO some spirited driving from time to time, but nothing like the OP described.
Bad driving record = $$$

i tend to drive speed limit +5 most of the time, but that is what everyone else is doing for the most part as well, so i dont really stand out in my driving habbits. From time to time I do admit that I have opened it up for a few seconds just for fun. Always when there are not any cars around though.

 

On streets? I take it easy man. I shift at around 3.5K after 1st gear ...

 

Hi guys i am new to this forum, just got my S five days back, I like taking the car to the max on the straights but i'll generally brake alot when it comes to turns, as i used to drive an evoix, i guess i am pampered by the emmense power and handling of the car. But currently i am still pushing it only to 4k as i am still running in.
