Default What A Feeling...Winding Out An S2000!

I love the 2004 S's with the subtle changes and all, but folks, I have to tell you...there's nothing...I mean nothing like getting on to the Florida Turnpike down shifting from 3rd to 2nd and decking it. The feeling of the VTEC kicking in, actually similar to having dual quads in an old hotrod of the 60's only faster. Watching the tack climb and light up the red 9000, then bang, power shift into the next gear. Man O' man...absolutely nothing like it. I sure do love this car. I have used my '03 as a daily driver for almost a year now with 26,000 miles on clock, and the best part is that the novelty has not worn off. I hope you guys and gals sure enjoy your S like I do mine.

get an exhaust and rev the crap out of it under overpasses and tunnels, then you'll love it even more.

I feel the same way.
Not being a daily driver - every experience in Mz. Giggles is an adventure!
Downside is traffic. Stuck in it makes me nuts. I'm always in search of lonesome roads. I love tunnels !

On the way to the Dragon this past spring Westside Billy took about 15 on an oddysey thru the Cumberland Gap tunnel that runs between Kentucky an Tennessee.

You should hear 15 S2000's at full song thru a mile long tunnel

when on the highway at around 65-70 mph in 6th, shift it to 3rd and not many cars will be able to keep up. vtec sweetness.
