my roommate just leased a 01 S2000

yeah, he got a great deal too, two years, with 5k down, 425 per month...

i sat in the s2k car, yeah, tiny room really felt like a f-15 cockpit... the trunk is tiny as hell as well... two words to describe it... damn fast... got f1 style seats and steering wheel...

just too small for me...

It's small but wait till he takes you for a ride and comes out of turns at twice the posted speed limit!
My buddy let me drive his and it was great!
Makes the CL feel like an ocean liner.

How come your wait has been so long?

The Honda dealer down the road from my mothers has 4 of them on the lot.

Sure, anything that can be removed before your lease is up.

Or anything that adds resale value to the car... not much does this because it hase to be of value to the general public, not just enthusiasts.

all i know is i tried following one in the twisties with my cls and it just couldn't hang. our cars are too heavy, cls was struggling, maybe cuz i still have stock tires. .=T that s2k glided through the turns like it was nothing!

yellow s2k astro! no doubt!

i agree do some mods to that s2000, the supercharger would be cool, if you are interested i would talk to wayne or jens(at PARK AVE ACURA) about doing any mods if you are close to northern jersey. Last time i talked to them they are looking to some work on hondas as well as our acuras, im sure jens would be game to throw a supercharger into a s2000 like he did to his miata.

Thats the same combo I keep going to the dealer and hesitating over. heh

Either that or yellow/blk.

But a yellow StooK wouldnt go well with a red CLS... dont wanna have the Micky D's thing going on in my drive way. lol

Tein Coilovers, Mugen exhuast and header, and once I've got 10,000km's on it, I'll get the supercharger from Comptech
