OK, OK, it's a race car with a couple luxury items.
FWIW, you probably wouldn't like driving a real race car on the street for very long. Honda did give the S2000 much of the feel of a race car, but IMO they knew where to draw the line. The S2000 is like a Rolls Royce compared to a real purpose built race car, but it gives owners some of the thrill of driving a purpose built racer. I sometimes think of it as a toy, immitation race car.

I don't really like driving my track car on the street for very long, and I took pains to keep some of the interior in it just so I could drive it on the street (to and from track events).

Heck, just dealing with harnesses is reason to avoid driving it.

Exactly. If it weren't for the ingress/egress and harness issues I'd have club seats and a full cage in my car, but that alone is more real race car than I care to live with on the street. However, your car is a dual purpose car, and when I said "real race car" I had dedicated track cars in mind ... The NVH and heat levels of a dedicated track car tend to be way over the top on the street.

You could never live with a full-on racecar even for a day as a street car.

The S feels very mild to me after driving the other cars that I have previously owned with all the mods I have done to them.
A stiff suspension doesn't bother me.
I guess if I was 50 it might bother me more.

I dunno about you but the radio is just fine in my 2003...

Besides I hate having a loud-ass bling bling huge bass audio system with the top down. I already feel bad when I'm at a red light with the top down and the music full blast, I tend to lower the volume in these cases lol
Who said it should have a loud ass bling bling huge bass audio system? Some of us do prefer to hear a full range of music at 70-80 with the top down though..

god forbid you'll be anymore lazier to open the radio door to do the controls.

only thing I love about that remote control is the "mute" button, so I could shut the stupid radio off that I can't hear anyway.

I'm sorry Vishnus11, but that's a classic.
