S2K - Winner of C&D "Super Flea Challenge"
Note: I do not know when this episode was originally aired, but it looked new, and today (August 09, 2003) could have been the original air date.
If any of you watched Car & Driver Television this afternoon on The New TNN, you would have seen C&D's "Super Flea Challenge", where about 15 specially tuned import and domestic four-cylinders battled through a street and track test.
The competition ranged from Volkswagen to Dodge, Honda/Acura to Subaru, Mitsubishi and so forth. Several Honda/Acura tuned vehicles were in the competition, including two RSX's, a yellow Si powered by a 2.4L Type S motor, and a turbocharged yellow Honda S2000!
Out of the 15 vehicles, you S2000 drivers will be glad to read that the yellow charged S2K won the "Super Flea Challenge". Although they noted that it was the car with the highest price tag out of all of the competitors, it was definitely the best!
The article should be uploaded onto http://www.caranddriver.com soon enough, so you can check there for more details in the near future.
(Yes, I copied this from my post in H-T, 'cause not too many people saw it. So in a way, I'm informing you guys aswell, that is, if you have not seen this episode yet.)

Even with the high price tag it seems pretty reasonable for such a great performing car. I'd love to have that car!
