Thanks for watching!
My wife is going to kill me if I buy another car. All your S2000 content is making me want to go get one.
After owning both the AP1 and AP2 you can’t go wrong with either. I personally prefer driving the AP2. The extra torque is noticeable, and it is more predictable on track. Once you remove the clutch delay valve and swap to an AP1 flywheel the AP2 is much better.
Is that a check engine light
I think the AP1 looks more sports car and more Jdm, the AP2 looks more Americanized.. I like the AP1 looks better for me.
the exterior design is absolute perfection. looks amazing from every angle
F20 C was a high reving beast of a tiny engine. Honda should have kept it
AP2 in the U.K. kept the 2litre but had the upgraded suspension and wheels and still had the 9k redline. Did over 112k in mine. Great car.
I wish I had the money to buy one 10 years ago. The S2k now cost around 25k€ here in Germany, when you want to have a good one thats not been abused. 10 years ago it was around 12-13k for a good model.
My reaction to the AP2 is overall positive, but my reaction the AP1 when I hear the way it screams forever, is I nearly faint from the awesomeness
Such a clean S2000 👌
I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for a while and I gotta say, your content is for sure entertaining and worth all the time I’ve spent watching your videos! Keep up the great work Topher!
Great video. I’ve owned a number of sports cars over the years. Honda nailed it with the S2K. I have an AP2. Love it. The transmission is a stand out, best shifting car I’ve ever owned ! Thanks for the review.
Thanks Topher, the S2000 is one of my favorite car and i like your approach. Nice video for my bday :D
Ooo, what a treat of a video
its crazy, everytime i look into getting a certain car, a new vid from you pops up
Awesome content....really looking forward to E36 comparison as well. I have had 10 MX-5's and always thought the S2k would be for me, but I drove my E36 M3 to my only S2k test drive and just couldn't get over dramatic difference in torque in "regular" street driving. I'd like to try another S2k test drive now years later with perhaps different expectations.
I love these videos not only the info and satisfaction but also kinda teaching me how to drive and manly steer new driver here can’t wait to get a car😢
Love the S2k but god that E36 is beautiful as well. Really a timeless car.
You got the best job ever. Even filming in a Corolla driver seat is way better than my boring 9-5 desk job lol
I have an ND2 Miata and my brother has an AP2 S2000 and they make a great pair! Love to drive them both.
