Nothing to do with Honda or S2000, except to show what the competition is doing. This one is cool, including the driver!

Wow! Very cool I love how he's driving in the RAIN, drifting the cars around turns, driving with one or NO hands AND looking at the camera

Maybe he'll come to WGI in October and be my instructor there?

I agree, talk about being relaxed at speed.

The GTR is tearing everything up, but its still a 70k Nissan.

Im 22, I would buy one if I had the money. My dad, who can actually afford one wouldn't even consider buying one. Its amazing how their all selling.

Ironically, on Sunday which was a "not a cloud in the sky day here in the Washington DC Metro area" I dropped the top on my S and went out for a ride. During that process I stopped at Ferrari of Washington out near Dulles Airport and when I pulled into the parking lot I saw my first Nissan GTR on the street. Three (middle eastern looking) guys got out of it and were looking at Lamborghini's through the glass as the dealer was closed at that point.

The thing that caught my attention was the Maserrati roadster that is very close to the looks of an S2000 in Suzuka Blue with a blue top. Ironically, a search of their web site did not easily point to this car, so I gave up looking for a link to post.

Matt funny you should mention a Maserati and a GTR at the same time.

First time I saw a GTR was on my front lawn.
We had a mini meet on my upper lawn last weekend.
A neighbor from up the street whom I had never met is a car guy and followed them down the drive. He mentioned he just got a GTR and I said bring it over.

The best part was watching glenn's ( g-s2k) face when mike rolled in with it.

SO I pinged my another neighbor who just picked an '02 maserati to come down and show it off too.

and as an aside, Mike's GTR is sharing the garage with his '01 Porsche turbo.
