As the proud new owner (second S2K) of a new Laguna Blue, I cannot express how wonderful this car is -Since this my second S, I konw exactly how it compares - All the little things done to it have not diminished the overall excellence of this car - I normally dont do a lot of posts due to the overall negativeness of the responses I see - The S2000 is the best value in sports cars now(new or used) and should be praised irregardless of which of the seven years it was produced -I would flame any other model of car before I would this one(any year) -I will post some pics as soon as I locate my camera...

 

Sell your wheels (For next to nothing)

just kidding, they're not THAT bad... but it is still the first thing I'd do. That, exhaust, and a drop.

 

So how is the "drive by wire" throttle system? Do you notice any lag when stepping on the gas, especially when shifting?

 

I don't feel any lag with the DBW. and here are some pics for those of you that haven't seen one yet.

Am I the only one that's glad no one is insulting the pre-06 AP2's anymore??? LOL.

 

I LOVE THOSE 06 WHEELS! once i buy some for a 1k, hint hint........they will be pc'd black or "mugen/volk" bronze and fitted to my 02. then everyone will want some! 06 is my next S2000!

 

I hope everyone sells there 06 wheels, so it will be cheap for me to pick up a set! Like JDM said.. just pc it black and it will go nicely with my spa

 

You need to see the car in person. I was really disappointed in the wheel design when the brochure was released, but in person I really like them. You can complain all you want to about the seats. The 2006 seats will disguise the wear alot better than previous models. The Roll bar speakers are much better than the headrest speakers, I'm not an audiophile so I can't explain it to you. I own the headrest speakers - you can tell the difference. Check the N. Texas Board, I've posted pics there. You can adjust the seat the exact same. You want more angle in the seat back, move the seat foward more. You couldn't possibly have missed that. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=339453

 

im not that stupid. or maybe i am. but i honestly tried to give a fair eval.

there has to be a difference in the throttle. with the car off, i already felt a different feeling in how the pedal went down and sprang back up.

glad you like your new car

 

I honestly can't feel any difference in the throttle response. The grain i the seats isn't that great, but I'm sure they'll grow on me. I think they're very comfortable, and the roll bar speakers are great. They make a huge difference.
