Default My 1st Impressions!

Hey all! Just got my car this week and thought i would write a few first impressions i have.


- The car is absolutely amazing, i really love it. A true babe magnet and i get lots of stares. Already got a few phone numbers from girls. It would be great if i found a woman who already has one, any single girls out there?

- It has about 600km on it now and i feel the brakes still don't feel too strong. I drove a used s2k and it was the same feeling, it doesn't seem to stop as well as my Type R.

- As many of you have complained, the plastic rear window, i can see already is going to be a problem.

- It feels very twichy, i can get the back end to step out very easily and i really like that sense of control.

- The 6th gear really should be taller. I hit about 120kph at 4000rpm in 6th. They should leave the first 5 gears for spirited driving and have the 6th as a nice highway cruiser gear, its not a S2000 Type R!

- I had a little warranty part replaced my first day, so that definetly sucked. It was the intake air sensor solenoid valve, causing the 'engine' light to stay on.

I think thats it. It's extremely difficult to break this car in, i can't wait to hit 9000rpm!!

...the st00k's just don't compare
I thought the S2K had some of the best stopping distances in its class
