Unless he just took roadtest recently.
He needs to stop making post likes this until he actually gets some experience and knows what he's talking about. | Agreed

true, on paper the s2k is nothing special, but its one heck of a car, and if i could own a s2k again, i'd love to
insurance wasnt expensive as well, $3000 per year with 0% discount, its reliable, and it looks good
and gas mileage? it sure is better than my 996 mileage on the s2k wasnt all that bad when i had it... sure the gas guage went down a bit faster... but why wouldnt it? im hitting 9k when i get the chance to!
u can't compare the s2k with other cars like STi, EvoX, or supercars (ferrari etc.)
different class, different purpose
the feel of the s2k when you drive it, is far more enjoyable | interesting. are you comparing the s2k to the 996 both with stock suspension or was the s2k modified?

When I was messing around on a g-circle, I only understeered once; every other time the tail stepped out. If that's considered "much more understeery" than an ap1 then I'm glad I made the right choice.

i've driven both ap1's and ap2's at work...
ap2's feel.. more refined ride wise.. i havent really taken it to its performance potential (i mean, those are customer cars!)
ap1's feel a bit sharper... overall chassis response wise.. hmm..

AP2's definitely feel nicer and more refined. I wouldn't necessarily say the AP2 is less fun to drive, but the AP1 does feel more raw and "focused" like someone said. And at the end of the day, that's what I prefer.
But hey, it looks nicer outside and in, the tranny is stronger, diff is stronger, it makes more power, torque is higher, gears are shorter and longer in all the right places, and you don't have to open the radio door to find out what time it is. =D

Sure the S2000 is not a great success in terms of sales volume and I don't expect it to be. In terms of outright performance, it is not the best either. Not a lot of people can life with a 9000rpm track ready car everyday. It have enough torque for what its made to do, and that is on the track. Its the accumulation of all of Honda's CARTing experience and expertise put together in a street legal package so people who enjoy driving race cars can get a taste of it. If you think about it like that, $50,000 CAD is a bargain because arguably none of its rivals can do the same (350Z, TT, Z4, SLK,) I think many years down the road when people look back at this, they'll realize that this car is such a gift from Honda and sure to be missed. | amen to that, sad to see honda stops making real sport cars. Was really looking forward to their V10 NSX project to compete with Lexus/Nissan  | |

The S2k is pretty much the only Honda (other than bikes) that I'd buy. It's a street-legal gokart and it serves its purpose well! It pretty much destroyed the last generation of SLK and Boxster and the Z3.
Manufacturers make the cars way too bloated these days.

Again, keep your opinion to yourself and quit bashing in the public. We all have different opinions, and also remember that it was also the opinion from the father of S2000, Uehara Shigeru, who said the AP2s are superior.
Aren't you the guy with Suzuka AP1? IIRC, you mumbled about you thinking that AP1 is a superior car after installation of SE exhaust on Taylor's car at Clement's place.
I do hope you expose the mad love for AP1 less as you're risking yourself offending other drivers since this is a local forum, unless it is what you're wishing to do. Nobody wishes to have beef with anyone and get their car burned down to the ground right?

i wish Honda would have just re-bodied the car or, even better, extended the wheelbase to make a rwd, hardtop 2+2 rather than just abandoning it completely. Why get rid of a good chassis? sad to see it go...
