A bit off topic I know with all the "right on" threads about war, girlies and religion but I have a name to live up to. I took delivery last night of my brand new Honda S2000 and it is fantastic. Cannot wait for another 9 months when I can get the hood down.

They're lovely motors - I test drove one once, but as I can only get in with the hood down, it didn't seem entirely practical...Originally posted by ForumboreA bit off topic I know with all the "right on" threads about war, girlies and religion but I have a name to live up to.

Why did you buy a car that has the same torque output as a 1.6 car that has to have 8000 rpm on the tacho to actually feel any oomph?Comment

The gearbox is a joy and it is a bit different, it clears speed humps pretty well and it is the only car I can get in purple.Comment

Never experienced VTEC then? The oomph you talk about kicks in at 5600rpm and goes up to the rev limiter at 8600rpm... awesome.Originally posted by DimPrawnWhy did you buy a car that has the same torque output as a 1.6 car that has to have 8000 rpm on the tacho to actually feel any oomph?
Of course the fact they are regarded by many motor journo's as the best proper sports car sensible money can buy means nothing to you!
I have a Civic Type-R btw (the cheaper more practical alternative!)Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
