Oh I will, no worries.
I'm searching for "Honda S2000" on there right now and see what I come up with.
Allready did a search for "Shell Helix Ultra" and learned a lot about it.
I'm going to change it tomorrow to Mobil 1 0W-30 ILSAC GF-4!
Haha.. J/K!
But I am going to see if that oil ia available in Holland.
I first have to register to be able to post (I think)
I might not register/post today, its 11:47 pm here and I do have to show up at work tomorrow and I dont want to get up to late because then the cold temps are gone and I miss my smooth run!
There is a lot to read there.
First impression is that there are a lot of opinions on those forums too.
For an "oil newby" it's difficult to see the facts from opinions.
P.S.
First farm @ 2,5km
3rd farm 1,7km more (this happend first thats why I used that as 100%)
2,5 + 1,7 = 4.2km total
1,7 km difference is: 1,7 / (1% of 4,2) = 40,47%
Now its 11:53 PM and I'm signing out!

The question was asked and the answers were about the same as inhere.
One member posted a full viscosity range for the two oils I was talking about and that showed that the 0W is thinner all the way, with less difference at 100C obviously. That is objective data, that might show I was right. It was also mentioned that thing as "feel" are subjective, but hearing sounds yes or no is not.
No definite answers though.
So...
I'm still happy with my engine at cold temps.
To bad spring has kicked in this weekend.
No more cold starts in the morning.
Now I have to drive top down all of the time.

Question 1 for Bob The Oil Guy.
To be honest I thought that you Wisconsin would be a member there too and answered in the same way you did inhere... maybe you did?
But then you would not ask me for a link, now would you.
Or you could be so cunning
to ask for a link to .... ok I should not go any further.. haha
My assumption about that could very well be as subjective as the differences I noticed.
I hesitated for a while to print this.. but its all with a NO OFFENCE 
Question 2 for Bob The Oil Guy.
On the second question I did not really get an answer, just someone who understood what I was talking about. I should ask Honda I guess.
