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.

 

damn..seems acurazine turned S2000zine....




btw, QX4 >s2000 ..just cause i own one

 

No matter how you spin it, the S2000 is one of the best ragtop drives money can buy these days. It truly is a wonderful driving experience and makes a great weekend car. I wish I had an exuse (and the disposable income) to have one right now.

 

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

 

It's a woman thing.

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

 

didn't beetroot just get a S2k a few weeks ago??

 

<------- Owns one....get it

 

Hopefully Acura has sensed this trend and will introduce a 2+2 coupe with the characteristics of the S2000...

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 just hate how you have to downshift an extra gear when going over a speed bump...

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.

 

With a 3.2, the car wouldn't be as nimble and as fun to throw in curves... Also the engine sound is just sweet to my ears

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

 

RWD Acuras? Then we'd lose the Massholes ....

 

No question about it....

 

You know, there is a new CL in the works...

and I miss my S2000

 

Its a lot of fun.

 

Is that confirmed? I've only heard rumors so far...

 

From the Oracle, IIRC.

RWD coupe, high output V6.

 

interesting, does anyone have any chops yet?

 

Damn, I dreamnt I had one last night.

<---- Loves the S2K.

 

Me =

- Has money in the bank
- Half of it goes to downpayment on house he just bought + some appliances (fridge, W&D, etc.)
- Needs 6+ months of income in bank as safety net for future layoff (i'ts not if, but when).
- Wants the widescreen TV
- Wants to spend $19K on a toy car.

I need a rich girlfriend who dotes on me....

 

You know...it doesn't "feel" that fast, but it is quick. 60 came and went easily. It's just so....connected.

 

Hmmm, sounds like an intersting project...

 

Does anyone when a new S2K will be lauched...?
2, 3 yrs?

 

Don't know if one will be launched. The S2K was supposedly the celebration car for Honda's 30th birthday.

 

I dunno, I see the S2k as a dinky underpowered Honda attempt at a sports car. JMO tho

 

I know it's just your opinion (and I respect it), but how much power should it have? With it's current 240hp it's able to do 5.5sec, 14-flat & 150mph in the 0-60, 1/4 mile and top speed trifecta. I'd still take it over the Z3/Z4, Boxster (base) and 1G SLK (though not the current SLK350).

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

 

not this masshole...i want one as a weekend toy in 2 years...
