NSX for sure

gordner 10-01-2019 11:51 AM

Far and away the NSX.

Sooner or later 10-01-2019 11:53 AM

NSX even though it is an Acura.

RWebb 10-01-2019 12:06 PM

ok, I'll be a contrarian and pick the S2000 - so I can have a roadster again...

NSX, full stop.

They make the same chime when you leave the keys in them as my Odyssey did, at least the early ones, so it's plenty Honda......but far from a Civic.

IIRC the S2000 is not for fat dudes or those that cannot bend easily. The NSX is a little easier in and out.

My older sister had an S2000. She hated the powerband and traded it in for 350z. I warned her. Personally, I liked driving the S2000. Never been in a NSX.

Both super cool cars but in totally different price categories. Ill take the nsx of course if your paying, probably the s2k if its my money

I have known alot of s2k owners and they all really love them

They just can't see putting a $160 grand on a window sticker with a Honda badge. So they invented a upscale brand. Like Infinity and Lexus did.

Cadillac, was once totally separate company, and GM bought them.

One of the big problems for the VW Pantheon was the VW badge on a high dollar car.

S2000 powerband is torqueless until a zillion rpm...

911boost 10-01-2019 12:45 PM

NSX, although I have driven an S2000 and the shifter was fantastic!

Door Number Three, Fred.......

NSX, that’s an easy one.

Captain Ahab Jr 10-01-2019 01:16 PM

NSX but this is my favourite Honda

I choose the one that begins with N and ends with SX

VincentVega 10-01-2019 06:55 PM

Yes, door 3 looks like a ton of fun too.

NSX is so great on paper to me but I just dont fit. I used to service a s2000, dont fit too well either but what a hoot. Very well put together.

Jim Richards 10-01-2019 09:43 PM

So that blonde is a Honda? Cool! I wonder how’s the handling on that. Hmmmm.

Tobra 10-01-2019 09:58 PM

I did not care for the S2000 as much as I thought I would. Did not find an NSX I liked, saw a couple of 2 pedal cars, did not drive them. I should have held out and kept driving the rental a little longer maybe, oh well.

Jim Bremner 10-02-2019 12:10 AM

I had the chance to drive a rental S2000 on someone else's credit card on Streets of willow Springs for 20 minutes. I did maybe 5 laps and got back into my vintage mustang.

If the Honda had a LS Chevy it would be a fun car. Or a turbo +a 7 or 8 speed Trans. But the 2.0 engine had zero torque if you change gears it fell out of the power band that started at 7,300 and ended at 8,500 but gear changes dropped the rpm to 6,000 and it needed an hourglass to wind back up to 7,300. Best way to say it it felt like an over ported 80cc dirt bike in a 125 chassis. I think I could turn faster lap times in my full size pickup
