That video was a bunch of crap with the supposed LS1 in it, guy was a complete liar that doesnt even have a car. As everyone else has been saying, S2K's run high 13's to low 14's driven well. A bogged launch or crappy **** and your looking mid 14's at best. Tough car to drive.

RE: Honda S2000?
I raced one when I was stock w/ a passenger from about a 45 mph roll to 130 and took him by maybe half a car (he was by himself) but I was still pulling when I hit 130. Dude was maybe mid-20s and seemed like he knew how to drive. I have an auto but she downshifted nice w/ overdrive off at that speed and we just took off after my 3 honks. Traffic was coming up so I slowed down... he went into the lane that you would pull off in if you were broken down (on the interstate), weaved back in and kept going. O well, had 'em though.

RE: Honda S2000?
Everytime I go to the "street races"(haven't gone in almost a year) around here I always see several S2000s driven by 16-20s year old. So I don't really believe the whole "mature driver" thing. On a side note about 2 weeks ago i was driving around and pulled up behind a C6 Vette. Next to him was an S2000. That Corvette took off extremely hard. Neither the S2000 or me wanted anything with that

I think that all around an s2000 is much more fun to drive than the 99-04 GT's, but it's not nearly as practical as a daily driver. The interior is tiny, almost cockpit-like, and gets painful for anyone over 6'0 after about an hour or so. You don't see many on the street because they're used more as a weekend racer for people who like a great handling car to throw around some twisties on a sunday afternoon. In a straight line, they're equal or slightly quicker than a New Edge GT, I don't care how many people say they've pulled away from one like it was nothing.

Secondhandloser has a good point..it is almost like you're wearing the car rather than riding in it. I'm 6'4 200 lbs and I think I'm right at the threshold of comfort in the car. Any taller or wider and I don't think I'd fit very well.
