I'd love an S2000, but theres something about telling people you drive a Honda irritates me. Plus, I don't feel like learning all that V-TEC bullshit my roomate is always blabbing about.

S2000's are not my cup of tea, they don't look good, they are Hondas, and well they are slow. Glad you're happy but I don't like Honda, I'd trade up for a MK4 or an FD3S RX-7 but not any Honda.

They're not slow... They handle like Miatas and accelerate like 350Zs... Nothing wrong with Hondas, it's the ricers that get ahold of the cheap Hondas that give them the bad rep.

After driving one, I'd much rather have a Solstice GXP or something like it, I just didn't like how it drove, it handled alright but its just not all that great. Everybody has an opinion and that's mine, if you like 'em cool but I don't, that one was clean and if he is happy then good for him.

Not a big fan of convertibles but I like it, personally I would have used that money as a big downpayment on a MK4, lol.

I didnt have the money for a solstice GXP I barly had the money for this, I wanted a fairly new (within reason) sports car, Didnt want as mkiv due to there old for 1 and 2My insurance just would not allow it, and I looked for 1 in my price range within 500 miles and only found NA's or ragged out raced to shit turbos. After going on the s2k forums they said they pick on ricers and are against FnF, its just the few bad apples that spoil the bunch in every car lol.

But To be honest its not fast, but handles GREAT. its quick but no 10 second car... But I will be honest about this saying its really slow, unless you have a (id say) 330-340+ hp and 350+ torque Mk3 and dont blow a head gasket on the starting line (personal experiences lol) your not gonna beat this thing from a dig, From a roll thats a diff story lol... and yes sewing machines have more torque then this thing haha.

also everybody has there prefferances about the vert, I like it but in the winter time I think ima get a hard top for it (if its removable and mess)

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", or "just as that". In writing, it is italicized and placed within square brackets &#8212; [sic] &#8212; to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, or other preceding quoted material is a verbatim reproduction of the quoted original and is not a transcription error.

Wanted to make sure people knew that it wasn't my mistake ;).
