Nice find mike! That thing is pretty badass, bet he gets a ton of looks, and not just because Jay Leno looks like a circus bear driving it

Sounds bad as **** too!

yea this car is just so advanced, like leno said if it had porsche on it, it would be worth 10x more.

For the person that said you hear vtec, i think there is something like that. not in the motor but he mentioned something in the transmission that changes if you listen for it

what an amazing video and a fantastic s600.

it's uncanny how much that engine sounds like a high revving b-series.

honda lineage.
