Anybody who says "nothing is happening below 3000 rpm's" has not driven my AP1 with some cheap intake mods. Let the clutch out in 1st at 1.5K rpm's, floor it, and watch the tach and the speedo climb.

And this reviewer must have been a large person. Admittedly, large people (tall or "stocky") don't fit this car. Few NBA players drive s2ks! Hell, not every car fits everybody. My 5'2" tall wife didn't fit an Infiniti G 35 sedan, as her knees were jammed into the bottom of the dash in driving position.

And what is this noise about a "gay friendly" car? Every since they quit building those "land battle ships" there are no cars in which one can have ANY KIND of sex! Whether you are straight or gay, did you ever try to have sex in an s2k? Impossible. And if you are straight like me, do you have any gay friends? Well, I do, and most of them drive Mercedes, and own more than one or two. Does that make Mercedes a "gay" car? I think not. Our sex lives and our "car lives" are totally separate things. Stereotyping is just wrong. Everybody says black guys don't like golf. Well, all the black guys I know (lawyers to letter carriers) LOVE golf. And I'm a white guy (I think) and I don't know what they are talking about!

This reviewer didn't really like our car. Maybe he didn't know how to drive it to get the best out of it. And, not everybody likes fine single malt scotch either.

Just one guy's opinion.

Well, he did get a 14.8 in the 1/4. So I see that he had to be doing something wrong, hence the bad performance rating.

 

Well, how refreshing to find an auto reviewer who isn't afraid to toss out any thing he wishes or feels about the cars he reviews. I read at least five other reviews including the new Lexus 350, a car I was considering for a daily driver and he blasted the crap out of it. He gave the CTS-V some high marks but considered the BMW 5-series a tad better. But no matter, he took his shots at all the cars that I glanced at their reviews. Damn refreshing in my opinion. Auto reviewers, like most of our every day reporters, have become a big part of the problem. They sit around and drink with management or government higher up's, pick up their pre-printed PR bullshit, and spit it out with just enough added to keep it from sounding exactly like a printed brouchure. Does he over do it. Sure. But it beats all those smucks who constantly worry about ruffling feathers.

There's no getting away from the fact that the S2000 has an extremely tight cockpit and purposeful (read bare) environment - it was designed that way on purpose! And, everyone knows the engine screams its head off at 9000 rpm (ok 8000 rpms for those late to the party). Crappy speakers in a top down spors car -- who cares? What's his bottom line, in his last line he says 'the S2000 is a great car'. That's the same conclusion I reached.

 

Well, basically, this was a SUBJECTIVE review, that emphasized the writer's opinion, as opposed to objective test results. So the guy's entitled to his opinion. Actually, I have some subjective opinions that are not shared by most in car enthusiast circles. I think BMW sucks! There --- I said it!

Thanks,

Yeah, apparently so. So, too, dces it appear that ol' bobbing Bob, not to mention (LOL) gaywheels.com in general, are all pissed off at Honda due its refusal to provide "domestic partner benefits" to its gay employees. But I'm certain that that little tidbit didn't serve to taint Bobbing's opinion of the S2000

 

Richard, I think Robert might agree, at least partially....... to quote him, "While the media has congratulated BMW for not totally screwing-up the 3

 

Well I had sex in my old Del Sol, so I think sex in the S2000 could be done

When I said "BMW sucks" I was referring to the driving experience, not the appearance.

Have you tried it?

Thanks,

despite some "gay" language, it sounded like a nearly positive review.
