Default S2000 type S?

is there such a thing? my friend sayd he saw 2 different S2000's w/ an "S" where the [H] emblems were supposed to go (front & rear)... is this some kind of option or did they just stick the "S" from "S2000" on there?

Actually they are S badges. You can get them from one of the sponsors on http://www.s2000online.com. You can use these in lieu of the H badges..No big deal...

I think it looks quite nice. It dosen't represent a "Type S." I just looks clean and I think it looks better then the .

They're just aftermarket accessories.

There is another S2000, its Japan only though. I thought it was the Type-S but its possibly the Type-V, however there is definatly another edition of the S2000, i'll look into it...

Type V. I think it has a different steering rack or something that makes it easier to turn, but not as much fun or fast.

The Type V utilizes a variable rate steering mechanism. More gimmick than functional. It has a neat looking steering wheel though...

Not as much fun? I guess that's a personal thing.

Not as fast? It has no impact on the acceleration or speed of the car.
I heard that it wasnt as much fun and was a tick slower than the standard S2k. But whatever. Arguing with you is usless so I wont bother.

if you go to the s2000 board...
Most of the S2000 owners call their S2Gay just "S"

they dont' call it S2k, or S2Gs, or S2gay...

Heard that it was not as much fun. From where? This is a subjective statement. Many of us would rather have a smaller lock to lock ratio and look at this as a good thing.
From one of the top japanese testers, I dont remember who it was though.

A tick slower -- why in the hell would the lock to lock ratio of the steering wheel have any impact on the cars "speed.".
Heavier and even if its not that much heavier he couldnt get it to turn as fast as the regular S2K

That is correct. In factory testing around Twin Ring Moteggi(sp?) the lap times were 3-4 seconds slower for the Type V. Independent tests were conducted by one of the Japanese magazines as well, but I completely forgot which of my bookmarks is the correct link.
