I've driven one. Thoght it was one of the best engineered cars that I've driven. Specially liked the gearbox, very smooth. Its got a very peaky torque curve but the engine is very smooth throughout the power band. The owner has never compained about it and he has driven some impressive cars. An old pal of mine.



Me personally, I've got a big american truck in my future... No more sports cars for me till I can afford a Porsche.

I don't own an S2000, but own an Acura RSX. Same 2.0 liter VTEC I believe. Pretty powerful motor, and I'm way certain the S2000 is lighter than the RSX. Nice car.

Its a honda, im sure its disgusting when it comes to performance and engineering.

Okay, whats the full story P-boy?

Awww dude I'm gonna be so jealous.  Those are sweet cars.  The engine is waaay better than the one in the RSX.  Sounds like a cross between an F1 car and a sportbike.

Possible job move to Kalifornia SSR.  Thinking of selling those I have on this coast instead of shipping them and picking something fun with daily driver potential.

Ill need a plate that says RICESUX or something so I can sleep at night...

Havent driven one yet but I assume its kinda like a 'super Miata' which I can dig.  Cant beat the price of one a year or two old either - the 00's and 01's fall in under $20K.

Ill have to visit the local ::shudder::  Hon... Hon... ::deep breath:: Hon... duh dealership and try one on.

Not recommended you do that. What if your parked on some street and a buncha ricers park next to ya. Then they get out and see yor plates. They might decide to vandalize your car. Its a bad tactical situation. Better to flip them off and do the car chase in LA thing. Perhaps some shooting...

[Frogm4n]

yes some form of handgun in the glove compartment is needed for driving in southern california. Everything in LA story is 100 percent true.

Not to sound too defensive, but 200 cc and 40 hp make it a WAAAY better motor? Just curious...

[FUNKED1]

40 hp is way better I would say.  Also 1000 more RPM.

I had one for a year and a half.  It handled like a dream and was extremely quick, provided you pushed it hard.  I didn't drive it enough to warrant keeping it, however, and it was NOISY (the downside of having to push it hard).  

They're a great, fun, impractical car (just like convertible sports cars are supposed to be) but you've gotta love driving more than listening to music, having a conversation or preserving your hearing.

I've heard nothing but good about them with the usual V-Tech *****: you have to drive the car between 4000 and 8000.  It's pretty quick though... lightweight and rwd... and only seats 2.  Since it's a convertable, you won't have any problem picking up guys in cali.

Hell, I wont even need to pick up guys - just call FUNKED for some road head and a ride.  

Does this mean Im required to post Enzo kills on the Honda boards?

He had a carlength on me but THEN I HIT VTEC LOL!!!!111twentythree  HONDA 4 LYFE!

PS:  Blue, thanks for the first hand.  No rugrats, single on my tax returns, and my idea of 'car audio' is the exhaust note.  Sounds like a good fit.

Keep you posted.
