Got to drive a S2000 today.
It was such a nice day that my realtor decided to ditch the QX4 and break out the S2000. He was even nice enough to let me drive it extensively.
All I can say is WOW. True, there's no low-end power (enough for putting around town with no problems), but the shifter, clutch, steering, suspension, butt scraping seating, etc. etc. are just perfect. I'm impressed.
Time to start looking at some car loans to see if I can pick one up. $18K should get me a nice used one.

Too bad my wife would rather have a 1G SLK or Z3 over the S2k.

All she sees is Benz or Bimmer as opposed to a Honda.

Take a rwd s2000, add a back seat and a roof, drop in a 3.2/3.5L V6, build it in Japan, and I'd be interested... Toyota might come out with a new Supra, so Acura might with to beat them to the punch...

I feel the need...
Judging by the weak sales numbers Honda is posting vs Toyota these days, it's only a matter of time before rwd models begin sporting an Acura emblem. If Honda truly wants to belong in the big leagues - it's a given.
An S2000 with 3.2 - that will def be in my garage.

I just love the car... Wouldn't trade it with a 3.2L version.

The only thing its F20C needs IMHO is cam phasing (iVTEC) in order to smooth out that power delivery. And if Honda wants to be even more creative, then maybe IMA is a way to go
