W1ngman,

CONGRATULATIONS!  That was a very good choice.  The S2000 is an awesome car.  What color did you get?  Was it new or used?  Why did you select the 2001 instead of 2002?  How much did you pay?  How many miles does it have?  Sorry, I know I have many questions, but I\'m considering buying one of these next year, and so I\'m gathering information.  

In Southern California you have to look hard to find a Honda dealer that will sell new S2000s at MSRP.  Most ask $2,000 - $4000 over, and they charge 2002 list price for 2001s they still have on hand!  It\'s insane, but I\'m convinced that MSRP can be obtained if you look hard enough.

Don\'t forget to check out the S2000 International Forum!

http://www.s2ki.com/forums

It\'s one of the coolest forums around (almost as cool as PSX2Central :))

BTW, please don\'t call it a "stook"  :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

2001 b/c local CarMax had it in stock.  Went out of town for the last 2 weeks on business...came back thru town for a night of dinner & dancin\' w/ wife...and saw the car returning to CarMax during test-drive.  Drove it home 2 hours later!

Color?  Yellow w/black ragtop.  

Price?  $30,570  

Miles?  3500.  

Smile stretchin\' from my ears to my a$$hole?  Priceless...

Lovin\' the little things such as the "ignition start" button.  Great access to all its accessories such as stereo/cd/heater/etc.

It was gonna be this or a Z3...  I think I made the right choice.  Thanks for the website!

Yeah...w/ time...  

I did not expect to make this purchase for at least another year...  So needless to say, things are a titch tight for the time-being.  On top of that I visited Guess yesterday for nearly a grand (leather jacket, slacks, sweater, etc.)...  

Not normal purchase kinda day but definitely exciting!!!

It\'s funny this question should come up because there\'s a good thread on the s2ki forum on the subject of performance modding S2000s.  Although there are those experimenting with superchargers and turbos in the S2000s right now, the consensus seems to be that the best mod you can buy for the car is a good performance driving school class for the owner.  Those engine mods are mainly to improve straightline speed, which is not really what the S2000 was designed for.  A stock S2000 can and does beat other presumably faster cars on a complex course, with the right driver that is.  The S2000 was so carefully engineered that I would be very hesitant to screw it up with a major modification like a turbo addition.  Now, a less invasive change like the Mugen CAI, headers, and exhaust would probably cause no problems... :D

Caught very same post.  Been eating their forums up tonight.  Honestly, my idea of improving on this car would likely only extend to cosmetic effects.  I\'m personally and currently happy with this car\'s stock performance...

They are very nice.  I had considered one when I went looking for a car.

If I was to get a second car that would defiently be high on my list.  A couple kids I know got that car as well as the one they got already.  (mommas boys gonna be living at home forever)

But one of my friends is buying his thrid in the spring.  A new 2002..  If its not perfect he don\'t want it, he is quite strange.  

But the car does rock...

Do the INTAKE mod, not  huge performance upgrade, but gives the intake and exhaust a really really really nice growl.

Nice car, just drive with-in your means.  Don\'t go crazy
