"So off you'll got o buy yourself a Porsche Boxster or BMW Z4. They're very nice, I'm sure. Just remember that when I come up behiond you in the S2000, flashing my lights, you should get out of the way. And Don't bother hurling abuse because (a) I'll be having too much fun to care and (b) above the sound of that VTEC engine, I won't hear you."

"The S2000 on the other hand is a car that was created for the single purpose of

Quotes on the Boxster from "Honda S2000" by Dan Carney:
"While Porsche is undoubtably the target in most sports car manufacturer's cross hairs, the company was pushed to upgrade the Boxster [to the S] by Honda's introduction of the S2000."
"The Boxster is so expensive,..."
"...but the stiffer springs in the S model reveal considerable cowl shake over rough surfaces..."
"But Porsche skimped on the Boxster's suspension to save money, choosing economy stlye MacPherson struts [a la Ford Cortina!] at all four corners."
"...are saddled with only fair shift action."
The S2000 obviously wins on all the above but positives for the Boxster are:
"The car's excellent steering provides great feedback, and the powerful brakes haul the Boxster down from high speeds consistently. Balance of the car is fantastic, thanks to the midengine layout,...."
"Driven hard, the Boxster's engine produces a shriek that is umatched for beauty or intensity..."
"Porsche supplements its front airbags with side airbags."

"A masterpiece, Forget what anyone tells you about Boxsters, Z4s and SLKs - they're all girls cars. This is a real man's plaything, with 9000rpm on the rev counter, a race-car inspired chassis and no traction control to speak of. Marvellous." Jeremy Clarkson

Haha! That is a totally awesome quote!
The best quote I've gotten so far was the first night I drove my new s2000 into my apartment complex. My friend John K. who owns a blue wrx sti [previously the nicest car in the complex - a fact he liked to remind everyone of] looked at me from his parking spot at the gate and said "God Damnit."
