I agree with the above reply, Red is the color for S2K. Black is nice but Red smokes.
30 average age eh! I only wish I was!

Thanks for your views
Since you're from the Chicago area, and you own a red S2K, I was just wondering if you're the person I regularly see driving east on Roosevelt (between Meyers and Wolf) at around 8:30 in morning?

Great list! However, I would add just a few things...

To #16...It's actually generally thought of as the stiffest convertable (production car) ever produced, and stiffer than some cars with a top.

It's the only Honda to have the engine run backwards...

The tires themselves were made specifically for the car...

The addition of a starter button started a new trend...(even thought it's old)

It has Fiber Reinforced Cylinder walls that contain ceramic...

Somebody shut me up...I could go on for days..


Excellent post.

Andrew

I like the list too...Check this out...About a year ago, I was out in Birmingham, AL..and one of the salespeople there told me that the S2K had a V6 in it..I looked at my friend that was there to look at one and said "We are outta here. lets go find a dealer that has educated salespeople." Its a shame sometimes that salespeople don't learn more about the cars they sell...That salesperson would have had himself an S2K sold if he knew more about the car. And by the way, I know every one here already knows this, but the S2K is a work of art!!!

Skorpion,

There are plenty of Stooks out there that dyno above 200. Mine dyno'ed at 204.5hp and 137.7 ft-lbs with only 1100 miles.

Putting it back on a dyno the last week of August. Hopefully, the results will be up a bit.

Jose

That USED to be true, but I believe the RSX (integra) turns "backwards" was well.

being a 31 y.o. yuppie myself (a hard thing to admit, but true to the literal description...) I gotta pretty much agree with the whole damn list.... except for 24 - Silver's the best color - but that's only because I am a yuppie...

TRUE!! and that means that you can modd a RSX tranny onto the F20C and use it in a FWD configuration
