Default Test drove an S2k today.......impressions

What a totally different world than my WRX!!!!!

gearbox: simply amazing. The shifts were soooo smooth and heel toe was easy.

Engine: Felt quick (for some reason my stock WRX feels faster in a straight line). But you can't argue with that amazing engine note in teh mad V-attack y0! Could use more torque but overall gets a from me.

Handling: Compared to my pig of a sedan, its like being on a knife edge. Definately can't say enough about the steering response and just great overall feel. The driving position was totally different than my car, but definately something i could get used to.

Overall: Great car, lots of fun. Definately something i'd consider after college (right now its just too small). To drive this car on the track would be heaven!

just thought i'd share my great experience!

I'm buying an 05 this week. Stay tuned for my impressions. I'm running a 91 RX7 now.

You should test drive that 05 before you go buy it...S2000 isnt everyone's cup of tea.

i agree. If youre one of those who like to go fast in a straight line, this is not the car for you. But if you're into the handling aspect

like others said, def test drive. it would suck if you sold it right away. the FC and AP1/2 are different cars but close in some ways

Im not into straight line driving. Anyone can do that. I just finished running the "Tail of the Dragon" 11 miles 318 turns. I do HPDE with NASA and Mazda Group at VIR, Summit Point and CMP. I think the 2K is for me.

I test drove a 03 S2000 yesterday and my impression are its just an awesome car. Everything about the car feels great, the handling, the power and the look. It might not be fastest car for the price but its great non the less. Im praying I get approved tomorrow for this car
