I find this interesting:

"Furthermore, the S2000 is not likely to inspire envy or get you some action at the club. Choose the BMW or Porsche for that. But if you're looking for a serious car that's serious about performance, search no further than the awesome but austere Honda S2000. "

I tell you what, that could not be further from the truth...

Atleast the yellow stook grabs a LOT of attention. There are so many TT coupes and Z3's around here that peopel generaly don't take a second look.

Thanks for the heads up. To me, the "Evaluation - Drive" page says it all

Quote:"The VTEC is like a light switch -- no power, click, holy smoke power!"/ That is one way of looking at it.

Quote: Added torque, we all agreed, would make it perfect. "Fun to drive fast, but rather docile when driven slow," was the logbook quote that summed it up best./ Looks like they need to get a Mugen ECU/Headers and P-flow TB!

Quote: Plus, sound quality was found to be abysmal./ Very very true!

"(I)f you're not looking to drive like an escaped mental patient the majority of the time and want to be coddled for trips over to Nordstrom, the Audi or Benz is more your speed"
Nothing beats Thorazine + 9,000RPM.

After I'm lobotomized, I'll get the Benz.
