What do you think makes the Honda S2000 so special?

I love the way that the car has both the ability to be a cruiser and also have performance characteristics. I owned an s15 before this and it wasnt anywhere an comfortable as the s2k when it was just cruising. Driving at night with the top down and looking up... is awesome! and once you hit vtec... it pulls and keeps going and going!

Only slight downside is it needs a tiny bit more bottom end. Other then that.. best car I have owned.

I love it because it only has 2 series, and it still looks like a $40k car...

1. Shifter is good, although may get annoying after a while if you DD (i do), but that's sports cars for you.
2. I agree that the handling isn't that shabby, I expected more to be honest.. I drove a CRX del sol, and felt that that thing handled alot better! But maybe my tyre/wheel combo might change that shortly.
3. VTEC with roof off!

Because you can run boost up to about 18 pound on the stock high compression. Amazing.

i love my S2000, i cant think of what could possibly replace it.

the difference between driving it and that of a renault clio sport, When you drive an
S2000 you are the driver, the renault has so many computers aiding the driver it isnt funny.

my grandma would do an awesome time in a clio sport around a track, but a race car driver driving both would turn a faster lap in an s2000

because its a DRIVERS CAR not a cars driver!

I hate you....go away

with reference to a post above.. Shouldn't u compare the BMEP instead of hp/l?

also, longitudinal engine... well of course..

and if it's behind the front axle, does that make it MR?

[garett]

i think MR (Mid Engine - Rear Drive) still stands with the engine behind the chairs

[curtis265]

mid-engine means the centroid of the engine is between the axles

I personally love the way the car handles. It can be a bit twitchy at times but all and all once you know what to expect it handles great. I love the way that it makes you feel at one with the car when you drive it as well.
