The S2K has a built in metric calculator ...

Just drive your car at 270 km/hr and push the button on the dash, and it will instantly calculate the mph....

Going to do it now.

Only for "metricly" challenged countries, I'm afraid...

Luis you are right. There was a lot of headwind yesterday.

Anyway blues2000 the hardtop seems to be really good for maxspeed because more than 270 km/h is 9000 revs.

Thanks for your replies.

how come we have so many portugese & spaniards here ?
How many s2000's are imported per year in portugal? and in spain?
In france it's 300 per year, but it seems like there is only one french owner who frequents this site.

Hi Swiss2k,

The speedo marked 252Kmh, wich is odd since I was expecting the inverse situation.
In anycase I'm inclined to beleive in the gps - it was a triple band that use a military frequencie, accurate within 1 meter.
Best regards,

Paulo Nunes

Remember Vasco da Gama and Colombus? We were always in the discovery forefront of uncharted territory, so anything beyond 6000 rpm is appealing to us! (ok, bad joke!)

Honda has in Portugal the highest market share of all countries in Europe. It has not been doing well recently due to the onslaught of the german brands, but it is still sizeable.

I believe there are over 200 S2000 around in a country of 10 million people. That is one S2000 for every 50,000 inhabitants.

Is that a record or what?
