Default Something us Honda enthusiasts should be proud of!...

I know I am... gooooo Honda!!!!

http://www.caranddriver.com/article....rticle_id=6846




1st - Honda S2000 :yay:
2nd - Nissan 350Z Touring
3rd - Porsche Boxster
4th - BMW Z4 3.0
5th - Audi TT Quattro

HONDA S2000



Highs: Sensual intensity right up there with grabbing a bare high-voltage wire, clutch and shifter as perfect together as Rogers and Astaire, cockpit fits like your favorite jeans.
Lows: Freeway cruising, and resisting the impulse to rip off nine-grand shifts in bursts of five.
The Verdict: A four-wheeler with crotch-rocket DNA.

I believe Motortrend, Automobile, and Road and Track all held roadster test in their current issues. To my recollection, the S2000 took top honors in all 3 of those tests as well, despite it being a 4-yr. old car. The 350Z usually took the next spots, followed by the Z4, with the Boxster usually ranking dead last (there were no Audi TT in these comparos). One can hope that with the 04 refresh, and the new 2.2L engine, that the new S2000 will be even better.

Yeah I'd probably take an S2000 over any of those cars, especially if I was buying it with my own money.

Track doesn't come in a droptop.

Oh and I've driven both the 350Z Track and the S2k, the S2k is much more fun.
