Had some fun with an S2000 this morning
Finally -- I got some play in the TSX. 
While on my way to work this morning, I saw a black S2000 taking the same offramp. I decided to see if he'll play by taking the same turn faster while behind. He immediately noticed me and punched it as we were lucky to get a green light at the first intersection.
At first, I thought that was the end of the teaser as we ran into some slow traffic ahead. Luckily, we both had to make the same left turn at an upcoming stoplight as I pulled behind. While halfway into the left turn, both of us kept our cars screaming in 1st gear for the upcoming road. We both floored it and he immediately distanced himself a car or so. We both let off after Vtec-ing to 3rd. He made a right turn and that was it for the day.
Although it wasn't much of a 'race', it was sure fun to hear two Honda engines screaming next to each other. The extra 1000 RPM of power combined with the lower weight of the S2000 gave it an unfair advantage.

on/off-ramps...
some people seem to like taking on a challenge immediately before these types of road...
not too difficult to see why. it is enticing to see how fast you can lick that turn and just floor it once you get on the highway...
